Default Re: PS3 - Folding@Home - huge success!

Folding goes a LOT faster on the PS3, Mike. Most of the work units went at about .05 seconds per frame (yes, 5 hundredth of a second each) before the jump to version 1.1 on the PS3, making for around 8 hours for a full work unit. After updating they now go at .034 seconds per frame, making a 500,000 work unit finish in a bit over 5 hours (the power of the Cell)! Most of the units on the PC will take several days to complete. Still, every bit helps!
