What is folding@home?
Folding@home is a distributed computing project run by Stanford University that uses protein folding to help find cures for diseases like Alzheimer's, ALS, Huntington's, Parkinson's disease, and many cancers. Learn more here
Why join folding@home?
This is a way to directly have an impact on finding cures for diseases. You use your computer at home to help scientists process data that would take a supercomputer to do. Instead of donating money (which you can do) to cancer research, you actually help take part in the research itself, so you know that the research is being done.
Which computer platforms work with folding@home?
For CPU folding - Mac, Linux, and Windows
For GPU folding - Windows natively, Linux through wine
More to come on how to install and setup folding@home.
