LoCo Folding…. At Home
After recently reading Aaron Toponce’s mention of contributing to distributed.net, I thought I’d throw down the gauntlet to other LoCo teams for something that we’re doing here in Florida.
For a little while we’ve had a Folding At Home team with typically have between 3 and 8 concurrent contributors to the team. I personally use Christer’s origami app for setting up all the PCs and laptops around the house.
For those not familiar with Folding At Home (F@H), it is similar to distributed.net in that it is a distributed calculation effort. It differs in that F@H is targeted at protein folding which can hopefully lead to a better understanding of diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.
As it stands Ubuntu Florida is the #2 “Ubuntu” team out there . So where are the other LoCo teams?
