Folding@home - Progress and future
As of September 20, 2005, more than 200,000 CPUs were actively participating in Folding@home (active CPUs are defined as those returning work units within the last 50 days), with over 1,500,000 CPUs registered. This level of participation makes the Folding@home distributed supercomputer one of the most powerful supercomputers in the world capable of a sustained computational level of over 190 teraFLOPS. Shortly following breaking the 200,000 active CPU count the Folding@home project celebrated it's fifth anniversary on October 1, 2005.
There is already cooperation between Folding@home and Google Labs. This comes in the form of Google Compute. However, with the new Google Toolbar, this platform is no longer actively supported, but older releases of the toolbar will still function. [2]
Current research is aimed at accelerating computational power by utilizing a computer's GPU, the graphics processing unit, in addition to the CPU.
Folding@home is currently developing a BOINC version in the hopes of attracting a wider base of users.

Sneak-Peek of Global Oneness Community
Hi friend! The Global Oneness Community, the place for information and sharing about Oneness is not really launched yet (you will see there is still some clean up to do) ...but it is now open for a sneak-peek! And if you wish - please register and become one of the very first members to do so! Jonas
