Folding@home: July 2011 Stats

Seems like it’s my time of the month again. I mean time for the folding stats, not the other… woman thing…

Any-who, key features of these stats mainly involve RedStarGlow and AG2297.

Firstly RedStarGlow, as you may have read, he folded his way past 4 million points. But other than that, he submitted his 4,500th WU, managed to get into the top 5,000 global folders. As for AG2297, he’s folded his way up 82 places, from 150^th to 68^th, quite a feat for less than a months work.

June marked the start of what will be the hard push, from here on we’ll find it harder to make our way up the leaderboards, but we will do it, eventually. On the plus side, with more and more folders on board, eventually won’t be as far away. So please, join in the fight against the other teams, and more importantly fold for cures for diseases such as cancers and Alzheimer’s, amongst others.

Participation

It doesn’t take much to participate:

PS3 users can run Folding@home whilst downloading from the store or listening to music, and when it’s finished a WU, you can set it to automatically power off.

For PC (and MAC) users, running Folding@home couldn’t be any simpler. Once installed and configured, you can have the client running automatically at start-up. The great thing about running Folding@home on a desktop is that it’s set to the lowest CPU priority, so no matter what you’re doing, whether it’s heavy gaming, or simply using paint, Folding@home will only use up spare CPU power, that nothing else is using.

Installation/Configuration guides can be found over in the Folding@home forum thread.

Stats, as always are on page 2.
