Hey all :)

If you are like me that wants to help the world in one way or another then become apart of World Community Grid.

You will find me in a team called for AMD Forum.

Folding@home is like World community but deals with other diseases.

I use my cpu to grid and gpu to folding.

I used to do Folding@Home on my PlayStation 3.
 
RE: Sharing hardware power (cpu/gpu)

the pc won't be slowed down and you can also config how much cpu that the program should use. So you can play games at the same time as you grid ^^

This is my way to help and make my computer useful when it's all day on :)
 
RE: Sharing hardware power (cpu/gpu)

Okay, so I powered up my PS3 and it looks like I didn't install it on my Slim.

I am going to let it download the 125MB program(+updates) and let it contribute towards Folding@Home. :D

Edit: It went like this:
Main Download = 125MB
Update 1 = 33MB
Update 2 = 90MB
Update 3 = 25MB

Total 273MB :P

I assume you not in a team... if you want you can join the team I am in

team nr: 159568.

I will fold when I have my new laptop.




I encourage people to let the unused power for your laptop/desktop to be used for good propose :)

No team, I just left it at default, but I shall have a look at the options. :D

I started it at around 2pm, it's now 4:45pm and has completed 56%. I understand the works loads are different from PC to consoles. :P

if you want i can ask my swedish forums how a PS3 user joins the team.

Can be; PS3's performance is equals several server's performance in cluster.

1) PS3's cell-processor is very good
2) The ram is DDR2 XRAM; if I am not wrong the Xram has the same MHz as DDR2 but performance better than GDDR5 which are at 4-5GHz)

the ram and cpu are the biggest keys to its success.
