I really want to help fold as my mother-in-law has just been diagnosed with cancer and it's the least I can do to help.<BR/>Have you found out how we can download work units with Etisalat as teh ISP?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29316131.post-62007014114579120522007-09-08T13:26:00.000+04:002007-09-08T13:26:00.000+04:00I've been trying to fold@home using my PS3 since t...I've been trying to fold@home using my PS3 since the respective update was released, however my PS3 has been unable to download the work unit. I connect to the PS network and access the Playstation store normally but can't seem to get 'folding@home' to download the work unit. I was wondering if anyone has a similar problem and/or can shed some light on the situation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29316131.post-78218013373787639362007-04-09T17:06:00.000+04:002007-04-09T17:06:00.000+04:00Hey Marsh - I was looking at the GPU client but ba...Hey Marsh - I was looking at the GPU client but backed off from it as high GPU load = high GPU fan noise.<BR/><BR/>I need to move into the world of Windows SMP client - especially when the AMD quad cores will make a debut in my PC later this summer.<BR/><BR/><BR/>However saving the planet vs finding cures for diseases is an interesting question in itself.

You can download the CPU or GPU client. As has been the case for some time, the GPUs on modern graphics cards are capable of executing certain functions far faster and more efficiently than the CPU. Todat this has been in the context of cryptographic functions, but its nice to see it extended to these grid work loads. As mentioned though , using the GPU in a PC is probably far less efficient in over all carbon terms than a dedicated farm, even considering that it's only idle cycles being used. I dont think it will be too long before some one works out that it is far more important to conserve net power, than to take advantage of the fact that compute devices are left on and idle. <BR/><BR/>http://www.localcooling.com/<BR/>see here.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
