Folding.. (1 Comments) (link)
 Sunday, 3-August-2003  08:41:52 (GMT +10) - by Agg

You might remember a couple of weeks ago I mentioned how long it had taken our Folding Team to get to each million-point milestone. The first million took 319 days and each million from there took less and less, with the 9th million taking a mere 14 days. To keep the trend going we obviously had to do the 10th million in less than 14 days... turns out we did it in 11 days. Nice one, Team OCAU! The point scheme has changed over time, so we're not strictly comparing apples to apples, but as Kaliban points out: 319 days for the first million, and only 327 more to hit 10 million. Impressive!!

Existing Folders will be happy to know there's a new core out which goes some way to fixing the annoying problem of having a unit die halfway through and you not receiving credit for it. For some units you will now receive partial credit for the percentage completed before it stopped. See the Folding page for more info.

To join the fight and use your idle CPU cycles to help find cures for diseases such as cancer, see here. For more info on the team, check out our Folding@Home Team Page. If you have any questions, ask in our Team OCAU Forum.
