I've been running Folding@Home for 2,5 years now, and I've done my share of running Rosetta@Home on BOINC as well.

What do you say, let's revive the F@H VGChartz team and create a BOINC team as well (if there isn't one already). WHO'S WITH ME?

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.

Basically my computer's contribution does less than donating the electricity cost to a research charity.

 

 



I'm down.
