Folding@Home
Folding@Home is a stanford project to compute protein folding patterns using idle cpu cycles. I've started a team for mozillazine.. hope some people can join.
http://vspx27.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/main ... mnum=39340
To join the team, all you need to do is download F@H software:
http://www.stanford.edu/group/pandegrou ... nload.html
Console version is the best.
when its running, right-click the system-tray icon, configure and select team 39340
You can also change teams if already signed up..

That is a great idea!
I have my own private computers running as team nr 36796 for a few months, and i don't know if I want to rejoin another team, but no matter what team, this is probably the best way to use your idle CPU cycles.

I'm maxing out the bandwith in my internet connection, surely some bandwith is necessary for the computers to interact

Ah ok - only rarely: the program downloads a "work package" - a description of what to do, which is a rather small file and then runs for a long time locally - when the WP is finished, the data is submitted and a new WP retrieved.
Sometimes the program updates itself or downloads a new WP-handler.

Well, I just downloaded it and got it running.
WINfried Dows, at least in the Windows 5.02 version you can set the CPU % usage in the advanced tab of the configuration menu. I wouldn't think it is an issue if you're system is cooled properly. Johann_p, have you run into any issues with your CPUs being maxed for months?

Ah, my apologies. I thought you were referring to power issues. Still, a combination of the power setting and possibly sliding the max cpu usage down would probably do the trick for laptops.
Btw, my first work unit has processed enough to give an estimate of when it will be completed. These buggers take a LONG time! And to think, all the stuff below assumes I'll not power off my system at all. I'm disappointed actually, but then again I have no idea what the norm is. Is this okay for an Athlon 1800XP (1.57GHz) and 512MB RAM?
