Hydrology Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 Ive set up a folding@home team on the PS3, so if anybody would like to join this team, the team number is 64045. You can also join this team if you have a PC. Lets get DTVForum on the map!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

k00k1503559827 Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 I'm already with the Overclockers Australia folding team Mark. I think we're ranked 4th in the world at the moment. Either way, its a great cause, and an excellent initiative by Sony. The PS3 absolutely smokes when it comes to folding, the Cell processor is ideal for it. It should also be part of a standard OS install on every PC, X-Box, etc etc! To quote from another forum I'm on "Stanford's Folding at Home team reckon that they can replace 3 million folding donor CPUs with 10,000 Cell processors." I may even buy a PS3. Looks as though I may be able to claim it as a tax deduction... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maverick Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 Sounds a lot like the SETI@home project. Some of our work PC's were running this until management put a stop to it. I would be in it but I turn my PS3 off whenever I am not using it for movie watching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k00k1503559827 Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 Its very similar to SETI mav. I have F@H on 3 of my PC's at work, and 2 here at home. You should probably pin this thread MarkH, or give it its own link somewhere. Only way to make sure it grows and doesn't vanish. It certainly doesn't deserve to. Everyone thats reading this right now on their PC's should have F@H running as well... Download it here http://folding.stanford.edu/download.html Install it. Choose your username in the Configure section, and put 64045 as the Team Number. Too easy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

k00k1503559827 Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 Good on ya Felix!Ive requested this thread get pinned as it is a worthwhile cause, still waiting to hear back from moderation. ...and edit your initial post so people dont think its only an option for PS3. If you turn on a PC, and unless you're gaming, rendering etc, it should be folding... Just trying to help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Santa1503559644 Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 Emm , forgive my ignorance guys buth what are you folding ? Time , clothes ? Gordon When I first saw the thread, I thought it was some mob of perpetual poker losers! Dabbled in the SETI lark right at the start, but nowadays my machine/room can't take the heat!

Skid_MacMarx Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 I've had the PS3 connected once (for the firmware upgrade) since I got it I have a limited high speed account atm for the mac @ home.. if I change plans, I will let you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hydrology Posted April 4, 2007 Author Share Posted April 4, 2007 I've had the PS3 connected once (for the firmware upgrade) since I got itI have a limited high speed account atm for the mac @ home.. if I change plans, I will let you know. SKid, it doesnt need to be connected to the net, it only needs to connect the very first time you start the program and when ever you have finished folding a segment (average segments take 12-18 hours). It then reconnects, send off your completed piece and downloads a new one. Each time, maybe 4MB tops, so will hardly impact on your download limit. On another note, forum moderation have gotten back to me and have refused to pin this thread. Apparantely the Wii "sticky" is more important!
