SCE Joins Stanford's Folding@home Program (B3D ID=32377)
- Thread starter one
- Start date
Did the B3D team notice a jump of 200% when Bad_Boy came onlineJoined.Folding now.
How many PS3's would be needed to secure the top-spot, assuming it stays at current level?
inefficient

I joined mine up too. My first work unit should be complete in just another 7 hours. These thing should be able to crank out a couple WU a day. My PC takes days to complete just 1.
ATI Technologies is 1.6 months away from overtaking Beyond3D Team. Seems like the PS3 client has come just in time
Erm, or something like that

Well, let's just say they probably won't be using it much, so it should be a competitive advantage, yes.
As would those laggards at Nvidia getting their ducks in a row, I might add!
I'm on the scene.
8 1/2 hours until completion and 12.5 frames/sec.
The visualization aspect of the app meets my wildest hopes!
Has anyone seen points from this yet? How much is a ps3 WU worth? It looks like the stat server is down at the moment, so maybe not. 8.5 hrs sounds not bad. I was doing 2 per day with my Radeon X1900 XT.
Touch down ! 1 work unit completed after about 8.5 hours @ 0.0665s/frame (15 fps) and 259.91ns/day (What in the world is this ?).
And since this is the Console Talk forum.... xbd and geo, my first molecule is better than yours.
On a more serious note, I noticed that turning on the audio, rotating the globe or the molecule via SIXAXIS, *and* bringing up the web browser to check my stats in F@H does not affect the on-going/final performance figure (well... from 0.0664s to 0.0665s). So they still have some headroom ?

This is folding
Man this is soooo cool. My first WU on the PS3 and I get a 400,000 unit baby. WTH? Why sooo big? Well I will have it completed in 8 hours so no big deal.

No molecule "vs" threads, please!
Not to mention that the RSX is doing all the display stuff almost by itself I presume?
Well, based on 8.5 hrs, I'll pull a number out of my. . . ear. . . and guess ~200 pts per WU.
I was thinking whether that could be dedicated to folding too, or is it only G80 that can conceivably fold with good performance?
/is new to all this folding business
We'll have found the cure for all those diseases and then go extinct due to climate change because of all the extra electricity used up for folding...
There's a post on the Folding@Home forum asking the same thing...

2nd place on the TFlops already? I'm sure Sony will make a PR hooha about this when numbers start to climb.
