ChrisC Posted January 16, 2007 Posted January 16, 2007 this?: http://folding.stanford.edu/ Seems interesting, not sure about packets flying around and using my cpu power though, it's regularly maxed out (is old now) Chris
CyberNerd Posted January 16, 2007 Posted January 16, 2007 We are on a bit of a power consumption reduction drive atm :0 maybe next month when management have forgotten about it. Also have you seen http://climateprediction.net/ It may be more relevant to school children than protein folding. It has a 'schools' section with links to KS3/4 maths, science, geography resources and an added advantage that those extra CPU cycles that contribute to Global Warming may actually help prevent it, rather than help line the pockets of a major drug company
alonebfg Posted January 16, 2007 Author Posted January 16, 2007 thats the one i like the way it works as when i am using my cpu it does not seem to. i have never had a problem with it. if you dont use the graphic verson on a older pc i find you dont even notice it.
Guest richard Posted January 17, 2007 Posted January 17, 2007 I've been involved with a few of these sorts of projects over the years and they are ok to start with but if you start to run quite a large herd then it can become quite time consuming.
