eXceem - Folding@Home

Lucaio · 30-03-08, 03:59 PM

Folding@Home is a piece of software that you download and run in the background on your PC which helps find cures to diseases.
The idea was brought up by Stanford University, which do not use SuperComputers but rely on the general public to help them find these cures.

You can be in a team to 'Fold' for and the more people that are in that team the more 'Folding' that will be done.

I found that eXceem already had a team. I was thinking that this should be mentioned more in the forums so new members find out about it and join the team. The we can try and get eXceem high up in the rankings.

The software can be downloaded here.

Exceem's team number is 50602

Currently there is no activity on the team. Lets try and change this!

This has been going for years. The first place I worked, about 6/7 years ago had a team.

Does it not work to decipher DNA or proteins or something.

Lucaio · 30-03-08, 04:13 PM

I know its something to do with protiens.

But lets try and get eXceem into the top 100 team!

Sounds interesting, going to have a read

Lucaio · 30-03-08, 04:19 PM

It's easy to set up.
All you have to do is download and install the software.

On the config screen that pops up on your first run just choose a username (You don't even have to register), type in the teams number, hit ok and your off!

is this the same as whats on the ps3?

grabrail · 30-03-08, 04:59 PM

Its almost the same as SETI@Home, which does the same thing analysing signals from space to see if theres anybody out there

Yup it is.

messyhead · 31-03-08, 08:04 AM

I've heard of this type of thing before, but it was for SETI. I think the client I used could run a few different projects at the same time, might re-install it.

Lucaio · 31-03-08, 11:03 AM

At the moment eXceem's rank is 35066 of 113674

Blackpanda · 31-03-08, 07:01 PM

It be long for this site because i am a member of private site that has 50000 users but roughly bout the same rank. I wouldn't mind turning my ps3 on overnight everyday but will it cause my ps3 to breakdown for overheating.

grabrail · 31-03-08, 07:07 PM

And surely in this day and age of all things green, should we not be turning off our computers and consoles when theyre not in use ??

It shouldn't take too long.. I'm on a team that has only been going since sept 07..and our team is up to 133rd place.

Lucaio · 12-04-08, 03:07 PM

I havn't been on here for some time now and just noticed that Jon put this up in the news section.

Thanks Jon!
