Join Team YahELite in participating with the Folding@Home project.
Think you've got a fast computer? Put some of those spare CPU cycles to work on the Folding@Home project to research how proteins behave (and misbehave). IT's a pretty cool way to put your PC to good use when you're not using it at night or at work. You can also use a PlayStation 3 (PS3) or even a high end ATI graphics card like an ATI 1900XT to help with the research. And of course if your rig is set up with a Dual or Quad core, Intel or Athlon you can rack up mondo points in days. Here is the 'official' blurb on it... --- "You can help by simply running a piece of software. Folding@Home is a distributed computing project -- people from through out the world download and run software to band together to make one of the largest supercomputers in the world. Every computer makes the project closer to our goals." Folding@Home uses novel computational methods coupled to distributed computing, to simulate problems thousands to millions of times more challenging than previously achieved. --- The YahELite team number is 67055 Make sure you enter it when you setup the folding@home so you are listed in the YahELite team! 
View the comprehensive Project Credits for your current WU point values. When you download the software you can set your user name and check if a name is already being used.
Since October 1, 2000, over 1,000,000 CPUs throughout the world have participated in Folding@Home. Each additional CPU gives an added boost in performance, allowing research on more difficult problems or solve existing research faster or more accurately. |
When you install the folding@home program you can configure it so that Your Name shows up in the YahELite Team by using the Config menu item.
YahELite is not affiliated with Stanford University or the folding@home project except as a participant in the folding@home distributing computing project.
