Folding@home On The GPU
Most of us have heard about the people at Stanford working on making a folding at home that can be run not on your computers CPU, but on its GPU (your graphics card). They said the graphics cards processors are much more powerfull than todays greatest processors (upto 10x better) at crunching numbers. Finally someone has decided to release some real world number comparision of a CPU vs. GPU in folding at home.
