Ranking and team stats
Home site of Standfords Folding@Home
We encourage you to give it a try and help out the team and more so the science. If your new to folding try out one of the single cpu clients, they require very little resources in the background. As your experience grows you can try out multi-core clients or gpu clients, these yield more points but require more customization, maintenance, and can put some wear on your machine. You'll find instructions for setting up the client on Standford's website our team # is 75407. Start out slow, we find people that go all in on their system stressing it with multiple clients usually find it inconvenient to keep participating, while we appreciate the short term support we would like to build a solid base of persistent members.
Thanks for your support.
(Need help setting up the client or have any questions feel free to ask, I would recommend reading the forums on Standford's website for configuration issues or exotic setups but we'll do our best to get you running.)

You know, I've heard about this site for years now, but I've never heard of any *specific* scientific advancement gained as a result of its operation. What has it tangibly accomplished?

On its Wiki page you can see a rather long section with various peer reviewed papers that used information gleaned from the project.
Heard about it years ago and never got around to trying it out. Think i will finally.

For folding I dunno, for SETI, well, its still an ongoing search, and its a big universe and a lot to search through.
Still, do not expect everything to produce results straight away, that is a fallacy, some things does indeed take years to get any good results.
That said, I have not looked into Folding at all so I cna not say anything directly aboutt hat. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Damn you Derik, I had planned to bump the old thread next week when we will pass 500 in the rankings, but now you've ruined that.
But yeah, do what the OP says and join us.

Ehh sorry dude, thought I'd make a more general thread that one kinda died out couple months ago. Am pretty stoked we are getting ready to break that 500 rank though. Going to pickup another 470 GTX soon ^^ hope you don't mind

It's all right, my dream of scoring highest in the team was shattered a long time ago. I keep telling myself that I'm doing this for science, not some pseudo-competition...

Ohh might have changed my mind on the GTX 470, check out this piece of sexy kit GTX 570 Review
Will most likely wait a little bit until Newegg offers some good deals on them but already available at the original 470 entry price.

Well... killed the psu in my heavy folder, yippy for warranties but will be about a week before its back online Luckily all system components check out, including the twins, and were unaffected but don't have a big enough PSU on hand to drive the system.
Don't let this scare you away from folding lol. Other thoughts... will have to find an alternative heat source for my house dammit.

Just creeping along on a single low priority one.
Not planning to win any kind of race, but you can count on it running pretty much 24/7.

The PS3 have definitely added alot to the F@H community, they were at one time the highest contributors behind Anon and while they still contribute alot of work sadly their architecture is way out dated considering a sub $100 graphics card can put out more ppd. Not knocking mind you a box that can crank out 900 ppd 5 years later is still impressive. Assume even with the removal of linux and hardware downgrades across the generations that F@H is still included and runs at the same speed. Haven't been a console gamer since the Sega Genesis but was very impressed by the PS3's flexibility and usefulness in research oriented projects and look forward to their next installment of awesomeness. Maybe MS will take note and make a similar move but I find that unlikely as I've always heard the consoles themselves are mostly a loss to break even with the real money made on the software and 3rd party licensing.
Happy folding!

We've got a guy making close to 400k PPD. I have to admit it, this is insanity.

Been using Kakao Stats for awhile to monitor our progress but someone posted a link to this site that has team stats as well, its a little quicker loading but basically same info http://folding.extremeoverclocking.com/team_summary.php?s=&t=75407
Got the twins back in action so we'll get back on track for breaking that 500 rank barrier here soon. Thanks for all the contribs noticed we picked up a few folders over the last few days welcome aboard and happy folding.

YES!!! We broke the 500 team rank barrier!!! Many thanks to all our supporters it has taken quite awhile to get here. So what do we do now... break 400 of course that is an even longer way off but we have a good team going and I have confidence we can easily break that in under the projected four months. Thanks again to everyone and happy folding!!!

Ranking 473, over 25% completed to hit our next goal! Nice work. Looks like rest of the 400s we're just grinding points as our daily average ppd is one of the highest.
