Frequently Asked Questions
What do I need in order to support the Folding@home™ project?
You will need 250 MB of available hard disk space. Then you only need to download the free Folding@home™ application from the PS3™ system's XMB™ and to run the application manually or through the Auto-Start feature whenever your PS3™ system would otherwise be idle.
*System software version 2.10 or later is required to execute Folding@home™ version1.3.
How do I continue to support research of new proteins?
As soon as computation for a work unit is complete, a new work unit will be automatically downloaded from the Stanford University server and your PS3™ system will immediately begin computation of the next work unit.
Note: Even if your PS3™ system is powered off while a work unit is being computed, an interim result is maintained. Thus, the next time Folding@home™ is run on your PS3™ system, the application resumes computation.
How can I stop participating in the Folding@home™ project?
Unless the Folding@home™ application is launched, no computation will be performed.
How can I see the results of my contributions?
The results of your contributions are available on Stanford University's Folding@home™ website located at: http://folding.stanford.edu/results.html
