MajorGeeks Folding@Home
By Timothy Tibbetts |
MajorGeeks Salutes the Efforts of Our Folding Team!
Folding@home is a distributed computing project run by Stanford University's Chemistry Department, which studies protein folding, misfolding, aggregation, and related diseases.
Our MajorGeeks's Team has been involved for years and we'd like to climb the charts and make a difference but we need your help to climb. We've had an impressive run of over 1 million points!
How can you help? It's simple. You can support our project by downloading the client software or run it in your browser, entering a username for yourself and our team number 12072 when it asks. After that you simply let the client run on your machine during its idle times. The software will automatically assign the proper credits to both your personal and our team total. Each gives us an added boost in team performance, allowing us to tackle more problems and score more points. So in short, if you have a few spare CPU cycles, here's your chance to help find a cure for cancer!
To get started, simply download the client software or run it in your browser. Remember to use 12072 to fold for MajorGeeks.
As mentioned above, there are two ways to fold. In your web browser or install the app.
Here is the browser install. I remained anonymous and entered 12072 under team and clicked Save. Now I am folding for MajorGeeks. Optionally, choose a username by clicking on passkey and setting up a username and password. You just need a name and email. No forms or anything annoying.
The app install isn't much different, it just adds a tray app. It will show in your browser but you can close it.
