Lo tech dudes
I was wondering if I could convince anyone with a Quad Core and running XP/Linux/Mac to show their true mettle and come FOLD WITH TEAM HEXUS for a few days?
We don't want you forever....unless you fall in love with us
But Team HEXUS, based here on the forums, are a bunch of fools who have joined in with a big challenge.
Folding@Home is an internet based Distributed Computing thing..... you run a bit of software which uses your PC's spare cycles.
It is desgined to help uncover the science behind natures way of folding Proteins and to help prevent disease and sickness in the future.
BUT...and this is the truth, it's also a
race for power
Loads of IT and Hardware websites do this, as a team.
TEAM HEXUS just happen to be FLYING up the charts
and I wondered if anyone fancied trying ? Lets put it into perspective. In May last year we started and were top 2000. Right now, in late Feb we are nearly Top 200
and that's GLOBAL!!!
The SMP version, which is what you need for the Quad Core chips, creates very very fast results and they SCORE HIGHLY
distributed computing - HEXUS.community discussion forums
That's where we hang out....
Dont be put off by the massive amount of posts in the Sticky at the top.....read through to see howe to run it
Frankly....I managed to sort it, and I'm thick as pig pooh.
Please join...just for a few days. The offer is open to EVERYONE, of all CPU's, BUT.....
BUT..... quad cores do rock
and once you've got one and it's sat around, browsing and playing music, it SHOULD be folding
Look forward ot seeing you in there....create your own thread and see who comes to help
