Distributed Computing
Hey peeps...

actually, i've been using my laptops (the previous one(dead) and the new one) to run programs computing stuffs for a better tomorrow... no joke... it's a 'sacred' task to dedicate your otherwise unused and idle computing power to do stuffs like computing the next largest Mersenne Prime with GIMPS, or to find a factor witjh Seventeen Or Bust, or to folding protein with Folding@Home...

As to check a really huge number... 2^7digit number - 1(which is millions of digits long number) to be a prime or not, it takes a relatively fast computer(with high clock speed) about a month(if u let ur computer to run 24 7...

so, uptil now, afer running the GIMPS' Prime95 for like almost a year... i'm the top 10000 producer... does it really matter?? haha... nvm...

anyway, as it takes way too long to complete a number, i've decided to contribute in another way... Folding Protein... so... fold and fold... well... at least it only takes me(more like my laptop) 2 days to produce a work unit...(wonder how significant, or insignificant that is)

at least i can see 'much' progress.... watever it means... but really... ppl perceive that by keep going, moving, walking or doing watever u were doing as progressing... just like when ppl cannot decide on wat to eat or wat to do at a shopping mall... they will keep walking and walking until some genius come up with a brilliant idea which is normally back to the first idea suggested by someone else... (i'm digressing here... but, think about it... Does this happen to ur fren and u too?)


anyway... so, currently, I'm running the Folding@Home application... under the team Folding@Malaysia... u might wanna check it out... Just google for it...
