Folding@Home

I got into Folding this fall after upgrading my computer. With all the processing power of a Quad Core with Hyper threading that comes in the Intel Sandy Bridge 2600k I decided to put it to use. I am also using my GPU for folding as well, together they are generating about 40,000-50,000 points per day.

Folding@Home is one of the largest and fastest distributed computing systems in the world operating at approximately seven petaFLOPS. It uses the spare computing cycles on volunteer computers to perform protein folding computations which contribute to research in the fields of molecular dynamics and disease research. You can check out my stats here.
