PS3™ Ranking System
PS3™ system rankings are now available for the Folding@home™ channel when you have signed in to PlayStation®Network. You can see your PlayStation®Network ranking and current points by navigating to [Options] > [Leaderboard].
If you do not wish to participate in the PlayStation®Network rankings, from the Folding@home™ channel, navigate to [Options] > [Folding@home Settings].
Note: The rankings used with PlayStation®Network differ from those found on Stanford University's Folding@home™ website.
Support for Additional Protein Simulations
Additional computation cores are now supported. This allows Folding@home™ for PS3™ to support a wider range of protein-folding simulations.
