What is protein folding and how is folding linked to disease?
Proteins are biology's workhorses its "nanomachines." Before proteins can carry out these important functions, they assemble themselves, or "fold." The process of protein folding, while critical and fundamental to virtually all of biology, in many ways remains a mystery. Moreover, when proteins do not fold correctly (i.e. "misfold"), there can be serious consequences, including many well known diseases, such as Alzheimer's, Mad Cow (BSE), CJD, ALS, Huntington's, Parkinson's disease, and many Cancers and cancer-related syndromes. You can help by simply running a piece of software. Folding@home is a distributed computing project people from throughout the world download and run software to band together to make one of the largest supercomputers in the world. Every computer takes the project closer to our goals. Folding@home uses novel computational methods coupled to distributed computing, to simulate problems millions of times more challenging than previously achieved.

Some things to know: This will make use of 100% of your processor and/or GPU. You may experience a higher electrical bill, and wear and tear on your PC due to heat, so make sure your fans are clean and working. To run my GTX 1060 it costs in electricity $0.25 a day at $0.10 a kilowatt hour rates How many PPD (points per day) can I expect from my PC with what GPU? est. (you can also double or triple these numbers with SLI or Crossfire)(some older ATI cards show low numbers, they were not optimized for folding and use more power) from: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1v5gXral3BcFOoXs5n1M6l_Uo3pZpQYogn6gVlxRPnz0/edit#gid=0

Can't believe it's been almost exactly 1 year since last running FAH. Time flies - and cancer sucks.
Going to take a while to get back into it, but 87 must be held! |

I will fold! I used to run it on my PlayStation and PC. I have a nice GPU to run it on.

Funny. I think my current desktop has more power than the racks of servers I ran the client on in 2001.

Used to fold for an overclocking forum years ago. Stumbled across this thread. Added 1M or so points in the last week or two for the arf team.

I have been experimenting with boinc. And while some of the projects are neat, the folding@home seems to be very worthwhile contributing to. I am going to run Folding@home and help contribute some to the arfcom team.

Woah. My temps were nuts on my desktop. Hovering around 87-90 degrees. 95 is thermal shutoff I think. CPU is overclocked from 3.6 to 4.2 Ghz though/. Dropped it down to 4.1ghz and getting about 75-78 degrees now. Gpu has about A 13% overclock and hovering at 52 degrees.-

You can also get programs that will control your CPU fans, but for the 50K PPDs a day, it 's better to just use a GPU at 600-700K PPDs. |

Just some random info.
2 months ago I started again after a 2 or 3 year absence. I was near the middle of the list on the team, I used to use an old laptop from back then just CPU mining. I returned 2 months ago and was around position 30, now I'm In the top ten of the team. I am only using a single GTX 1060. So I'm just saying, you too can be in the top ten with minimal effort now with modern tech. |
