Folding At Home GPU Farm
no comments
Nitteo, a forum user at overclock.net, has posted pictures of his 16 rigs with 51 Nvidia 8800 series cards used for Folding@home, a distributed computing project to simulate and record results of protein folding. If proteins do not fold correctly, cancerous cells and other diseases result. Thus, understanding how proteins fold may eventually lead to the development of cures for diseases caused by protein misfolding.
We thank Nitteo for building and donating CPU/GPU power to help with research that can potentially lead to cures one day. Come to think of it, his electric bill is probably through the roof.
