Join the DW Cancer Research Team..NOW!!
Hi All,
We have in the last few months had a lot of new members join and i'm sure a lot of you will be unaware that we have a Digital World folding team, which as it stands is 17 strong.
What does is folding: Folding@Home is a distributed computing project which studies protein folding, misfolding, aggregation, and related diseases. It uses novel computational methods and large scale distributed computing, to simulate timescales thousands to millions of times longer than previously achieved. This has allowed us to simulate folding for the first time, and to now direct our approach to examine folding related disease.
In simple terms once downloaded it sits in the background and when your cpu is idle it kicks in. This data is then uploaded to the site when your online.
How can you help? You can help the project by downloading and running the client software. The algorithms are designed such that for every computer that joins the project, we get a commensurate increase in simulation speed.
The program used for this can be found here:

Once installed you can join our team which is Digital Worlds.
Thank you for taking the time to read this:
After all more than one in three of us will develop cancer at some point. Few of us go through life without coming into contact with the disease in some way.
Regards
Wiz :Cheers:
P.S if you require help on joining up, or have any other questions, please don't hesitate to contact Mairyhinge (Team Captain), myself or one of the team.
Get folding guy's :salute:
