Hi, Guest
Alright... the few of you who know me well enough know that I love my distributed computing for cancer research.
The project I've been supporting for 2 years now has been starting to wind down with not much disclosure over how much progress has been made.
I was thinking of creating a "FocusCanada.net" Folding@Home team.
Running the bugger is dead simple. The guys at F@H have made a foolproof installer for the main (graphical) client, and there's a nice no-nonsense console version with service-install option for us computer guys.
Is anyone else here interested in helping Stanford University fight cancer?
If so, I'll create the team tonight. I just got started with this project, but as a precursor to show I'm committed, I'll let you know know how many combined CPU years the current team I have has contributed: http://www.grid.org/services/teams/team.ht...56-DD0F8EB22B3B - That's 40 CPU YEARS. Of continuous work.
The reason I say approximately is because as I went to login to Grid.org and check our stats... the damn login to the secure member pages is BROKEN. They've been on a downhill slide for months, and that's why I want to shift us away to the other project.
So, in a nutshell: Folding@Home is good. It's easy to install, run and join the team.
Any takers?
