Re: Folding@Home DCAWD team
Oh, I think I have this installed, but I haven't run it in a while. I will turn on the PS3 this weekend and add the group number!

Re: Folding@Home DCAWD team
I have Folding@Home, but I have no idea how to assign my PS3 a team. Did I need to do this when I initially installed it?

Re: Folding@Home DCAWD team
it's in one of the settings menus after you start the F@H app. play around, it's somewhere.

Re: Folding@Home DCAWD team
The only settings I could find was music and display... Then I couldn't even figure out how to update it. I feel inadequate!

Re: Folding@Home DCAWD team
I tried that already. I am PS3-incompetent. I will try it again, once I grow tired of the Wii (never).

Re: Folding@Home DCAWD team
I finally found it, after using the least intuitive menu system I've ever seen. Just saying...

Re: Folding@Home DCAWD team
I only meant for videogamez. Of course I've run into some miraculously helpful, Windows-based scantools, whose sign of functioning is to become inactive for minutes at a time!

Re: Folding@Home DCAWD team
no point really. if you participate in the Stanford Folding@Home project it will group us together for a team score. you don't need to use a PS3, you can run it on a computer just like the SETI project. just another area to extend the DCAWD brand.

I'm on there as well.. Finally
I agree with RJ, the whole changing channels thing is super confusing. I felt significantly disabled until I stumbled across it.

Re: Folding@Home DCAWD team
Anyone still doing this? I just started up. I've been running my desktop round the clock to host some virtual servers, and my quad core and 8GB of RAM have been sitting idle for the most part.
All my cars have drum brakes and are sub 200 hp, what am I doing with my life?

Yep, I still have it running on my home system and my PS3 (when I remember to leave it on!)

You guys know those work units expire after a while, right?

Re: Folding@Home DCAWD team
It will automatically get new units after it has finished the ones it was working on...

But if it isn't running constantly, it'll never finish a work unit because the work unit time limit expires.Sabre wrote:It will automatically get new units after it has finished the ones it was working on...

Re: Folding@Home DCAWD team
It will know that the unit has expired and get a new one I've started it before and seen where it will say "work units have expired, fetching new ones"

Folding@Home ending on the PS3

EngadgetSquared away in the PlayStation 3's latest software update post, Sony announced that the Folding@Home service will be retired starting next month, alongside the console's 4.30 update. The project, which tied into Stanford University's work on protein folding and research into the causes of a diseases like Alzheimer's, pulled in over 15 million PlayStation owners since it started in 2007. In fact, according to Stanford's client statistics, PS3 users offered the second greatest contribution after Windows devices, adding more than 100 million computation hours to the research project --
