We're happy to announce a new Pande Group paper (paper #61 at https://foldingathome.org/English/Papers).  This paper describes a new computational screen to identify important mutations in influenza: Combining Mutual Information with…

Jim Clark has been a major donor to Stanford and his great contributions has had a huge impact on my group's work in general and on Folding@home in particular.  Jim…

We have another paper that came out recently (paper #60 at https://foldingathome.org/English/Papers).  This one describes the PS3 client in FAH: Accelerating Molecular Dynamic Simulation on the Cell processor and PlayStation…

I am very happy to announce that a first key work (paper #58 at https://foldingathome.org/English/Papers) from the Folding@home project on Alzheimer's Disease (AD) was just published Simulating oligomerization at experimental concentrations…

It's been a while since I've posted on this topic, so I thought it would be a good time to talk about the long term vision for FAH.  In the…

As of last Monday, the GPU2 projects (both NVIDIA and ATI) have been in production mode, which means that we've moved on from testing to direct research on them.  The…

We’ve been working behind the scenes for a while to find the right way to share the raw data results from Folding@home.  We’ve partnered with the Simbios National Biomedical Computing…

There was a good question in the forum that I thought others would be curious to hear: From Vijay’s blog entries it would seem that the SMP client has some…

On Friday, Stanford launched the Pervasive Parallelism Lab (PPL).  There’s been lots of press describing it.  The general plan for the lab is to develop a common paradigm for programming…

We’ve teamed up with Simbios (an NIH Roadmap center at Stanford) to start making key technologies in Folding@home available for others to use.  Our protein folding work has been named…
