PS3 Folding@home accounts for 56% of total project power

Update Mar. 25: Looks like the PS3’s are now hovering around 75% of the total power of the Folding@home project. Very impressive!

With the most recent update from Sony, PlayStation 3 owners now have the ability to run Stanford’s Folding@home distributed research project, and what a difference they’re making already! Statistics pulled from Stanford today show that the mere 13,000 or so PS3’s out there who have begun running the Folding@home program are now accounting for around 56% of the project’s total computing power. There’s several million PS3’s out there, so it should be amazing to see what will happen with this project once those others get their consoles up and running! [via Gizmodo]
