Now that the Folding@Home project has come to the PS3, I have started a PS3 Forums team. For those wondering what F@H is, and what impact it has, please click HERE (http://folding.stanford.edu/)and HERE (http://folding.stanford.edu/FAQ-diseases.html). For some VIDEO CLIPS of the F@H application in action on the PS3, please click HERE (http://ps3mods.blogspot.com/2007/03/ps3-foldinghome-with-firmware-16.html) and HERE (http://www.gamevideos.com/video/id/10122).

Team Stat: Will be updated in time

In this thread, people can discuss how they are doing individually, and I'll provide updates on how the team as a whole is doing over time. Also, I'll put up in this thread everyone's ID that is a part of the team. Send me a PM or indicate in this thread if you want to be a part of the team, and I'll place your name in the thread list.

Any client program can contribute to the statistics for this team by putting the number '61536' in the team field. Your stats will NOT be attributed to the team by just signing up here. You MUST put in this number in order to get your stats tracked. In essence, then, the purpose of signing up here is so that we have an idea of what members of the forums are actually contributing. I repeat, signing up here but not putting in the number is essentially useless.

Here is a bit more detail on how to enter the number to become a part of the team (Thanks to konangrit for this instructions):

Whilst running the program press triangle to bring up the options, then click on "Identity", click "Join an existing team" then type in "61536". In the Identity option you should also select "Change Donor Name" and change it from PS3 to what you want to be known as.

The Monsters Folding@Home Team Page for stats can be found here:
http://fah-web.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/main.py?qtype=teampage&teamnum=61536

For those of you that are more ambitious, you can sign up your computer right now by downloading the application for your computer by clicking HERE (http://folding.stanford.edu/download.html). When you first run the the program, it will ask you for your team number and your username. Choose a username (You can't use spaces in your username, just underscores "_"), and then enter 61536 in the box where it asks for team number. I imagine that a similar set-up will be used for the PS3.

If your username for F@H is different than your monster ID, please send me a PM, and I will place it in brackets next to your monster ID in the list below. In other words, I do not need your PSN ID. Instead, what I need is your F@H name ONLY if it is different from your monster ID. This way, people can track you on our F@H team site.

I'm not surprised. Everytime I see your name on the PS3 it says you are on folding@home :D (Y). If I can get a fair few percent everyday I'll be happy with that. Its like I'm doing my bit for the world :).

Do you even realise the days and hours needed to complete it? Absolute ages! I'm only on something like 25% anyhow and I was on it for ages last night.

Sorry missed this thread.

Your ----ting me right? My PC AMD 3500 which runs at about 2.3Ghz can do a work unit in a 3rd of a day.

Anyway it's ---- to have something like this for a console. NO ONE is going to keep there console on 24 7. Now with news that something like this could be coming to the 360. Ugh.

Seriously? WTF is wrong with the Cell if it can't even do something like this faster than Tob3z middle-of-the-pack PC? I thought it was supposed to be downright revolutionary, even if not necessarily perfect for games?

Just thought it would be worth pointing out that this can be done on Normal Computers aswell, just seems like it may be worth a mention for those who may not be able to contribute via there PS3.

I know Tob3z mentioned it, but I think you should post it in your thread might help others, help your Stats.

That's what my ps3 takes, around 8 hours. I've done 4 works and all took the same time.

Just a possibility, but maybe the work units are bigger than on the PC or whatever on the PS3 due to the cell being so powerfull

Blaze Lord

Nah. Just out of intuition, that's very unlikely. Why make it more complicated for themselves for no reason?

Hey guys just want you to know I joined the team. I had 4 units before I joined. I'm not sure if those will count for the team. Anyway the new units should be counted from here on out. :)

Nice to have another member in the CM Folding team (Y). I haven't used this for months though :$.
