| Soleron said: I don't run these things because I see little evidence they actually work. With Folding@Home, they have 96 papers published due to the data, and most of them have low citation counts. This is from the work of tens of thousands of computers for several years. To the participants it's more of a game for points than any real scientific advancement. The overhead of packaging, distributing and accounting for units of work is much more than when using supercomputer time. |
Actually people get awards and many other things for findings. This stuff is not going to happen over night. It takes time. Just the time I have been using this program, which is about 6 months, I have seen a lot of advancement and also read notices of what the findings where and who found them . See pic above.
