Remember donating your spare CPU cycles to Stanford's protein folding program? That was the cool thing to do in the early 2000's. Is anyone still doing it for team SA?

Yeah, though anyone contributing with a gpu is wildly outperforming me. Go little arm sbc go!

You can "mine" "meme currency" "Banano" with folding @ home so I'm guessing it's had a recent resurgence?

the cubans invented a vaccine that protects vs some lung cancers main problem with cancer is there's not just one kind it's like 10,000,000 diseases all with the same name

I used to but my computer started randomly restarting when doing it a few years ago, so I haven't done much lately.

shouldn't computers have doubled in power like 15x since folding at home started. what happened to moors law, this folding poo poo should be easy to solve on our ultra 5000ghz PCs

Moore's law hasn't been true for a while now I think lol Not that it ever was an actual law and not a number of coincidences

I run a diesel generator so I can fold proteins for cancer.

Yes, they switched gears to covid research early last year and did a ton of modeling of the spike protein that produced important papers last year. There was a big surge in interest w/ everyone home from work and for a little while last year it was the most powerful supercomputer on earth. I jumped in for a few weeks w/ my 2070 and now I'm beating almost every goon who ever mined for team 150 back in the day.

I still throw work units to SA’s Einstein@Home team, though in the past few months I’ve changed my desktops around and haven’t done it as much. Hopefully I’ll get back into the swing of it soon.

there's a guy in the costco thread who is running folding@home out of like 30 chest freezers in his basement it's just all protein folding

Yep been crunching numbers for COVID since spring 2020 with Team SA. 12 million points or something now
