Folding@Home Statistics
For the past few weeks we have been covering the amazing project Folding@Home from Stanford University. The project harnesses the power of a collection of CPU’s from a network of PCs to crunch complex protein folding calculations. As of a few days ago, Playstation 3 users were added to the hot folding action and has made quite a difference. As of 7PM today here are the statistics from the Folding@Home site.
OS Type Current TFLOPS Active CPUs Total CPUs Windows 151 159,198 1,624,934 Mac OS X/PowerPC 7 8,716 95,341 Mac OS X/Intel 8 2,716 7,216 Linux 42 24,971 215,703 GPU 41 700 2,188 PlayStation 3 367 14,971 15,914 Total 616 211,272 1,961,296
There were nearly ten times the amount of Windows machines networked than PS3s, but the PS3 crunched almost two and a half times more Terraflops than their Windows brothers. This is only the first week. Friends, lend your PS3's to this worthy cause. At least try to make the Weekly Fold-A-Thon on Sundays.
