Folding@Home Reaches One Million Users


Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. announced today that since the PLAYSTATION 3 began taking part in the Stanford University Folding@Home project on March 22, 2007, it's reached a total number of one million registered users.

“Since partnering with SCEI, we have seen our research capabilities increase by leaps and bounds through the continued participation of Folding@Home users,” said Vijay Pande, Associate Professor of Chemistry at Stanford University and Folding@home project lead. “Now we have over one million PS3 users registered for Folding@Home, allowing us to address questions previously considered impossible to tackle computationally, with the goal of finding cures to some of the world’s most life-threatening diseases. We are grateful for the extraordinary worldwide participation by PS3 and PC users around the globe.”

Folding@Home has been a great success on the PLAYSTATION 3. I remind any of you with extra time to let some folding be done.
