You do not need to fold 24/7 to be effective. With the GPU client, only folding a few hours a day is possible. With the current powerful GPUs, you can fold for a few hours a day and still get thousands of points per day (ppd).

| What is folding? Folding is a worldwide distributed computing effort conducted by Stanford University to understand how proteins assemble themselves. The real world applications of this research includes potential cures for diseases such as Alzheimer's, cancer, and Parkinson's. Nearly everyone's life has been touched by someone who has had one of these diseases or one of the many other diseases this research is aiming to cure. For more information, please see Stanford's [email protected] website. |
