Nah, my gtx 650 can do that in a hour.

Seriously that is a lots of power, but why haven't cancer be cured yet?

This is amazing, I might consider Folding sometimes. Is a water cooled E2200 good enough?

Anything helps, I have a old Athlon 64 x2 folding.

Folded on my laptop till it died and will fold on my Xeon :3 especially since it's practically designed for that

Lol Still haven't gotten enough points to get my badge yet haha

As long as you can complete tasks before the deadline, it's enough.

Stanford also runs tasks that simulate viral infections in cells. It's not just about protein folding. On top of that, some cancers have been cured, and on top of that....Cancers are very complex and requires loads of processing power.

There have been a lot of academic papers regarding F@H floating around and a few news stories have mentioned minor breakthroughs for F@H projects, though I don't exactly quite remember what they were.

 

Props to F@H for releasing this kind of stuff and glad to be part of the LTTF F@H team.
