Dr. Vijay Pande Video w/great info About F@H

[Whitespace]

Here's a link to Dr. Vijay Pande's lecture at Xerox PARC about folding.

He mentions F@H on GPUs around 35:00 into it, and says later on that they have it working, but are dead even with CPUs. Great update on the future of F@H and distributed computing in general.

Also of GREAT note is 45:00 into, where he describes how F@H is helping find info about p53, the "tumor suppressor", which >50% of all cancers are caused by a mutation in this molecule. Brought tears to my eyes that we may be able, eventually, to prevent >50% of all cancers in one shot.

Good info so you know what the hell your computer is actually doing, and what we're up against computationally.

Great news! Thanks for posting this!!!!

LOOONG video, but worth every minute... you know what folding is, what it's doing and where it's going, this should be put into the sticky-faq big-time

Good stuff, it’s great to see the project grow and become more recognized. Even better to see “forward” type thinking involved as well.
