Si Anne sir. 2 CPU nya 100% lagi.

Anne is the name of one of our servers. In Engrish, “Two of Anne’s CPUs have 100% utilization all the time”.

Wala yun ask Peter. That is only because he uses the free CPU for the crazy molecule bending project.

Peter,

Why is Anne always 100% CPU? Please explain.

I have folding@home running and it uses idle CPU cycles on one of the cores. Yes, crazy molecular bending for Cancer research.

Be a mad scientist and install the FAH client on your desktop!

    Yes. It runs at the background utilizing your idle CPU. FAH uses distributed computing for protein folding. The processed data can be used in Cancer research.
