Tactical Gamer has had a Folding @ Home group running since at least September of last year, but there are only 10 people on it out of how many thousands of members.

We are currently ranked 1835 of 118407 teams. That's with 10 members! Imagine what will happen if there's a groundswell of TG participation!

This is a perfect opportunity to spread our name around in the outside world, and help a cause that's right up our alley and obviously deserving of all the support we can give it, especially if it's otherwise wasted computer cycles.










Both PC and PS3 owners are able to contribute to the team by downloading the Folding @ Home software, and putting the TG team's number (#78445) in the configuration panel of the client software.

If you'd like to check out the papers already published as a result of previous Folding distributed work, look here.

If you'd like to see the awards and international recognition Folding has received, look here.

This link will take you to a simple description of both protein folding, and what Folding @ Home is able to do.

A link to the TG Thread about our team!

If this isn't precisely your cup of tea, TG has a SETI @ Home team as well!

Does it work with Boinc? I got Rosetta and SETI running on it, so I wanna add this.

What is Folding????

Rincewind

It's usually done after laundry is cleaned and dried.

I'm in. Distributed computing is teh win.

I think folding at home uses distributed computing to model something to do with proteins. something very complicated that proteins do that is important to our body function. And it requires a lot of processing power, so they outsource parts of the simulation to participant computers. We run bits of the simulation on our machines using spare cycles that otherwise wouldn't be utilized, and they get a very, very powerful computing system to work with.

ok thx
