Hi Guys N Gals
Could someone please do something to expand out the heading of this forum. As it is, it tells browsers absolutely nothing about the subject and is subsequently totally overlooked.
I know it took me months to get around to reading it because there was nothing to indicate the subject matter, and I'm positive a lot of the good folks here would support this cause wholeheartedly if they knew what this was all about.
Can this be done?????
Cheers

Yes we should get a mod to edit the "sub topic" to briefly describe what "folding" is.
Just some examples.

Or maybe a new thread should be started,providing basic but important facts about Folding so more BC members can get involved.
It really is an amazing project that touches many of us in one way or another.

Per your excellent suggestions I have modified the title to better reflect the subject of this thread. Thank you for your ideas. I hope you like the new title better.

Folding fact #19
Genes are sprawled over much larger regions in humans compared with fruit fly and nematode worm. Genes remain difficult to identify in humans because they form such a small portion of the genome and are so spread out, but it appears that the total number of genes is 30,000-35,000. Apparently, humans have only twice as many genes as the fly or worm, but they have on average three times as many kinds of proteins because of "alternative splicing," a process that can yield different protein products from the same gene.

Folding@Home for ATI R5xx Series in the near future
Tech Report reports Folding@Home will take advantage of ATI graphics processing power in the near future. Folding@Home claims performance of 100 gigaflops per computer will be achieved by taking advantage of ATI’s graphics processing power. ATI GPU support appears to only be for R5xx series of graphics processors according to the Folding@Home high performance client FAQ. The GPU powered Folding@Home client runs considerably faster on R580, Radeon X1900, X1950 series, than R520, Radeon X1800 series, most likely due to the R580’s 48 pixel shaders.

UPDATE
Team 38444, a very few of Bleeping Computer's 1000's of members is now ranked at 2072 out of 45108 teams. Not a bad effort but we could up this substantially if some more of you good people would join up to FOLDING AT HOME and let your unused computing power work towards finding a cure for many diseases.
How about it Folks???
Cheers

Folding@Home on the PS3: the Cure@PS3 project
Now in 2006, we are looking forward to another major advance in capabilities. This advance utilizes the new Cell processor in Sony’s PLAYSTATION 3 (PS3) to achieve performance previously only possible on supercomputers. With this new technology (as well as new advances with GPUs), we will likely be able to attain performance on the 100 gigaflop scale per computer. With about 10,000 such machines, we would be able to achieve performance on the petaflop scale. With software from Sony, the PlayStation 3 will now be able to contribute to the Folding@Home project, pushing Folding@Home a major step forward.

Now I am defintely buying a Playstation 3!
