Welcome to the MyPS3 Folding@Home official team thread!

Our team number is 60766.

The Folding@Home application can be found under Network in the PS3 XMB. To join the MyPS3 team, open up Folding@Home, go to options, identity and then join an existing team.

Our team stats can be viewed here: fah-web.stanford.edu/
Folding@Home is an application which you can download for your PS3 which helps medical research on protein folding for Stanford University. Further knowledge of how protein molecules behave will hopefully lead to cures for diseases such as Alzheimers, Hungtintons as well as some forms of cancer. Please contribute as much as you can, as every bit of help counts.

If you have any questions about Folding@Home, feel free to ask.

Winnie said: I'm taking an extremely random stab, but maybe 50mb in advanced mode?

50mb/day!!! u serious? i didn't think it'd be that bad. i know uploads can be about double of the work unit download, and some ISPs count uploads now, but geez, 50mb a day is quite big (just for the PS3 anyway).

Anyone out there just skimmin through this thread, have a crack at Folding@Home on your PS3 & tell us what u think.. join up with the MyPS3 AU team!

Mines on Advanced mode, and 50mb seems a bit unrealistic to me...

The members over at US Playstation Forums - boardsus.playstation.com/ seem to really have good support for their Folding@Home team 55625 - fah-web.stanford.edu/
which is really good. These guys are ranked 61st out of all folding teams.. & have ~500 or so active PS3 folders. If this is in the US, and our population is say ~1/15 of theirs, no reason why this team can't be built up to atleast 35 active members, if not significantly more.. we just need to build up the exposure.. tell friends & family, this way, Folding@Home as a research project to cure diseases will go forward in leaps & bounds, hopefully ticking off a 'to-cure' list very soon

Cheers guys, keep up the good work

The admins still haven't done much promoting of F@H other than stickying this thread. :/

How about whenever we see a new member we tell them about the team and ask them to join?

Lol Kiah, Im almost at 100!

Hmmm we always have 14 active CPUs now. Doesnt seem to go up at all. Perhaps there should be a PM sent out to new members, but contain a big msg about the site, rules atc. and some info in there about joing the team? I'll send this idea to the admins.

I'm at 69 wu, but am with another team. I don't want to start again from scratch. I think new members should be encouraged to join F@h.

Cheers

Checkout the stats again guys! Folding@Home is now collectively 951 TeraFLOPS!!!, with PS3s donating 692 of those TeraFLOPS! Theres been a small increase in the amount of active PS3s with a move up to ~38,000 PS3s. There could be way more participating, theres a huge potential, but its good to see a ~50% increase in the amount of active PS3s in less than a month! from ~25,000 to ~38,000!!!

Awesome guys - keep up the good work
