Folding@home is a program on the PS3 that if installed will run when you are not playing games, watching movie, ect. it aids Stanford University by running protien folding simulations, these help in the seach for cures to deceases. the program doesnt take up much of you internet bandwith, its gets a simulation runs it and sends back results.
i just started the Folding@Home program on my PS3, the counsol has 5 times the processing power of the conventional pc. and if you are wondering about power consumption, after doing the math i figured that running Folding@home for 24/7/365 would cost you 150-250$ depending on electricity cost, but the program has a auto shutdown feature where you can set the time or have it shutdown after the current assingment. i figured each folding will last 2-3 hrs
