About:
Folding@home simulates protein folding. We do not
entirely understand how proteins actually operate,
but one important step is to study how proteins
self-assemble or "fold." This is an extremely
computationally intensive task since proteins take
in the order of microseconds to milliseconds to
fold, yet we can only routinely simulate over
nanosecond to microsecond time scales. This system
provides a new way to simulate protein folding
that can break the millisecond barrier by dividing
the work between multiple processors. Thus, with
1000 processors, we can break the millisecond
barrier and help unlock the mystery of how
proteins fold.
