PlayStation 3 to Help Cure Cancer

Partnership with Folding@home will use idle Cell Processors to model protein panacea.

Éste es el procedimiento:
"Thanks to new computational methods that are able to use streaming processors like the PS3's Cell, and before long, ATI graphics cards, Folding@home believes it will be able to take its research to a higher order of magnitude. The Cell Processor is expected to perform calculations for Folding@home on the scale of 100 gigaflops. With 10,000 PS3s churning away, Folding@home expects Petaflop performance (that's a Quadrillion--1,000,000,000,000,000—floating point operations a second). There are currently only 200,000 actively processing Folding@home computers today, which means an influx of millions of PS3s capable of joining the project could massively expand the capabilities of the Folding@home, enough so that project leaders are now considering expanding their simulations to study Alzheimer's and Huntington's Diseases and other forms of cancer.

No entiendo muy bien el procedimiento, solo que cuando no estemos jugando, la capacidad de cálculo desperdiciada se podra utilizar para esta tarea. Si alguien sabe exactamente como va o sabe traducir el texto, adelante.
