I wonder if you could use a C-Rio to do some folding?

Alright I figured I bump this again since FIRST is now ranking at 1327 of 220372. I wonder how much power is needed for us to push to become 1st?

A lot. Notice that numbe two is Google? Look at the points they have amd then at ours.

I do belive we passed 10 million or so points recently (can't check right now, though), so that's a very good achievement!

I have started my 2 Dell servers folding (No GPU pure CPU) with extra CPU cycles.

My Desktop will also be folding when it is on. Every little bit helps towards great cause.

I'm going to give this another bump since it's been a couple years-- we're still folding! Okay, fine, it's down to just me again. Still, you can download the client software here and join the FIRST Folding team (#43672). We're currently ranked #693!

If you aren't familiar with folding, it uses idle processing time on your computer to simulate protein folding. The project has also lead to over a hundred peer-reviewed research papers.

Awesome! We just got some new computers so I'll see if we can set this up to run on them at night when we aren't using them.

Re: Folding@Home team for FIRST
 

Nice! Make sure to configure it so it only uses idle time using FAHcontrol. I think this is why some people stop using it or uninstall, but you really can have it running without affecting your work in the slightest.

Thanks for the tips! I'll look in to setting it up when I get back to school on Monday.

Definetly gonna give this a go.
