DCEMU folding@home team

Any interest in starting a DCEMU folding@home team?

good idea

OK I went ahead and set up a team called: DCEMU

The team number is: 60846

If you join, put it in your sig and we can spread the word :)


EDIT: can this be stickied somewhere?

WTF does it do anyway?

it um..folds...protiens

Whatever that means. I think they can use this data to figure out how various diseases operate (such as BSE, cancer, lots of others) and then figure out how to stop them.

Nice Idea.
Ill join in a second after i get "unhooked" from Motorstorm. LOL

Yeah that is the only problem...My ps3 isn't seeing much idle time right now :P

im about to join :D

Here is a link to the stats page if you want to check. (everything is at zero right now though)

You want to type DCEMU into the box below Team Name is exactly.

You can also download the computer client for windows, linux, and mac. If you have a spare computer or computers, its for a good cause :).

Can someone explain exactly what it is? how it works?

check this out for a detailed explanation:

how come we have no status ?
we should add this to other parts of the site so not just PS3 fans see it ... the more the marier :D nd the more how help cancer :P

you have to finish a 'work unit' before any stats will appear. I got one finished last night, so under the team stats I am the leader. :)

Who is gonna knock me off the top spot!!

yeah i got my stats ... but if u look under u in the stats ur the only one der :S ... u sure u dont ave 2 log in nd do something 2 make us become part of ur thing ?

I've joined!

I think it is only registering you as a team member once you actually complete a work unit

well i done 308/1500 ? does that mean i done 308 work units or i need 2 get to 1500 to complete a work unit ?

yeah you need to get to 1500 for that one to finish.

I just read somewhere that if you do not finish the work unit you have within 2 days roughly, it scraps the data anyway. This is due to newer work units using data from old work units. I think your job just gets handed off to someone else.

If you are taking longer than 2 days to perform the work unit, then it's a waste of time I guess. The PS3 work units have been set to last roughly 8 hours.

you know they're just using our cpu power to fund terrorists right?

I can't believe only five people signed up.
steve-b and I are leading!

im in, i just need 2 finish a work unit. ive done 3 b4, does that go on my record?
ill join tonight

I have now completed 12 units. I'm 7 ahead of my nearest competitor.

damnit. I need to leave it on when I go away for the weekend. Maybe I'll reclaim the top slot!

i will soon lead the pack!

i did one work unit evry day last week.

I joined

So even now, not much progress has been made by the team. No interest is it? One could still run Folding@Home on ttheir computers, the application runs in the background. Oh yeah and Folding@Home for PS3 has been renamed as Life with Playstation for firmwares up from 2.40 I think, can't remember.

Anyway right now at the time of posting, I'm in 3rd place with 68 units completed. Currently leading is Sterist, at 174 units finished.

woot i have taken the lead recently, i guess ppl have given up on competing, oh well it just makes it easier for me to lead the pack ^_~ soon i will be so far in the lead if no one starts it back up i'll never be caught lol

I think I'm the only one along who's active in the Folding@Home team. Maybe not all that often but I'll still complete a unit in a while or so. I think Sterist sometimes contributes. I know for sure that everyone else after him have long since stopped.

lol yea i've been slowly working my way up since i joined the team, then every1 slowly stopped except you Shrygu & myself but my PS3 has been acting up so thats why i've logged so much into it lol

i replaced ps3 hdd and forgot to back up first!lost everything so i daren't go back on. i should really! edit-back on all data ok.

Folks, remember that you can still join the Dcemu UK folding@home team and complete units using a computer if you don't have a PS3 or one that works. Jst head over to Stanford University's website and find the application in the downloads section.
