The project uses statistical simulation methodology that is a paradigm shift from traditional computing methods. The project has pioneered the use of graphics processing units (GPUs), PlayStation 3s, Message Passing Interface (used for computing on multi-core processors) for distributed computing and scientific research.

This is of interest to medical research into Alzheimer's disease, Huntington's disease, and many forms of cancer, among other diseases. Its main purpose is to determine the mechanisms of protein folding, which is the process by which proteins reach their final three-dimensional structure, and to examine the causes of protein misfolding. was developed by the Pande Laboratory at Stanford University in 2000. But when they misfold, there can be serious consequences to a person's health.Ībout the (FAH or is a distributed computing project for disease research that simulates protein folding, computational drug design, and other types of molecular dynamics. We rely on the proteins to keep us healthy and they assemble themselves by folding. Downloading is completely free, easy to install and safe to use.įolding refers to the way human protein folds in the cells that make up your body. While you keep going with your everyday activities, your computer will be working to help us find cures for diseases like cancer, ALS, Parkinson's, Huntington's, Influenza and many others.įind the version of the software you prefer and get started. The software allows you to share your unused computer power - so that we can research even more potential cures.
