Dr. Baker did mention previously they had won the largest ever award of time on BlueGene I think it was. But it was still only equivelant to about 2 weeks of crunching on Rosetta@home. So, the day-in and day-out contributions of your 1+ machines being there consistently is actually of greater value to the project overall. 2chemp, welcome to Rosetta!

The gamers are quite well representented in our statistics. Distributed computing isn't everyone's cup of tea for various reasons. ID: 24288 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

It's really a team of scientists. So, their PR skills are somewhat lacking. But if you can send out some feelers, and explain the basics to an organization, kind of lay the groundwork, Dr. Baker has always made himself available for interviews. But it saves him TONS of time if you get them calling him wanting to run a story, rather then the other way around.
