Team AnandTech power bills double overnight when GPUs can be used for Folding@Home. After solving F@H, we'll have to solve the climate change problem brought on by the former.

Tell me about it. I had to stop folding this past few months because I was spending so much on power... I should start switching all non-folding tasks to Atom...

 

[petrusbroder]

Yeah, that was an important development!
In both ways.
Climateprediction (CPDN) works on the climate problem, but is also one of the more power draining projetcs ...

8!

On my Radeon HD 4830 power useage goes up by 35-40w (from 235w) running F@H.

 

[petrusbroder]

Bump to get them all in line ...

SETI@home releases the SETI_Enhanced-application, and a new multi-beam receiver is installed at Arecibo.

Climateprediction.net in combination with a serie of tv-programs on BBC releases the BBC/CPDN-experiment, a 160-year coupled model. Due to a bug detected in the models, all models is terminated and new models issued. Still, the BBC/CPDN-experiment is fairly successful, with over 100k users, most users from Great Britain.
