I wish this was still available on PS4 like it was on PS3.

not on Android?
i could leave my phone crunching data all day while working, sucks thats not apparently possible.

They're still getting it worked out in the client for the option. There are work units going out to model similar SARS proteins at the moment and more COVID-19 should be coming online shortly.
Bah, that sucks. BOINC is an android folding app that works with a lot of science projects, but Folding isn't one of them.
And it looks like Folding doesn't have its own android app either.
I'm all for people willing to donate their CPU time and electrical bill to good causes, but with how electricity is charged here (peak hours, on demand charges, etc) and the fact that my PC can pull wattage similar to my dishwasher means I can't afford to leave it going 24/7 on something like this.
I'd love to take part (probably letting my PC run overnight, off-peak) but can I customize F@H so my 6700K fan doesn't sound like a jet engine? (limiting/throttling the CPU load, in other words)
I've got five computers here at work that are on all the time anyway, some new, some old. I'll download it for each.
Is there a ResetERA team?

I remember installing it on the PowerMac lab back in college, though they were all MDD G4s and weren't amazing. Still, 30+ of 'em cranking away all day long was amazing.
From what I understand an option for COVID-19 will be added soon. For now just let 'er rip on Any Disease.
Same, as a work study student I went rouge and installed it on a few computer labs..I just signed up and joined your era team
Scientists crowdsource finding the cure to COVID-19 COVID
If you want to get involved, here’s how: https://www.geekwire.com/2020/university-washington-coronavirus-puzzle-game-aims-crowdsource-cure/ The director of the IPD is world famous, I think he’s probably gonna win a Nobel prize soon for basically creating the field of de novo protein design...

This is the first time I heard of this being available outside of PS3. Installing it at the speed of light!
Looks like we have to hit rank 6000 of better, nevermind. :P
The processor in the PS3 was a much more specialty part compared to the rather off-the-shelf hardware (by comparison) in the PS4. It'd be nice if the F@H software worked for the PS4 as well, but there isn't as much reason to get that working when it's not capable of nearly as much, I suppose.
I used folding@home to impress dates back in the day.
I'll download this on my PC. I still have no idea how it works but if it's helpful I'll be happy to help.

Could you imagine how quick this would be if every device could be activated as a folding node? If 10% of people with new devices opted in on activation we'd be flying.
Awesome. Already folding. Joined the ERA team posted above as well. Have it at max settings at the moment. Is there anywhere I can see what my PC is working on exactly at the current moment? I just see the percentages in the client that's it.
Finished at least one work unit but the team page seems to be busted. Hopefully that's fixed soon.
Cool I will install F@H and join sometime this week. 9900K should be fine I'm assuming? I usually run it in Speed-Step/Speed-Shift mode so I hope that won't affect their results too much.
I'm not sure the PS4 is as well suited for this type of raw computational crunching like the PS3 was.
This makes my 4.1GHz 4770k system run really, really hot with both 3/4 CPU and max GPU on the medium setting. Had to undervolt my 1080 Ti to 900mv to manage the heat.
If you dare run this at Full, it would probably be a good idea to turn your whole system back to stock clocks. Make sure your case has good airflow as well.

The PS4 CPU might be too weak to do such processing. The PS4 as a whole is obviously a more powerful system than the PS3 but that Cell CPU can do some extremely powerful calculation and processes and one of them is folding@home
