500

On July 3, Team Tony reached another monumental achievement -- it has now entered into the Top 500 teams list, with over 4800 work units folded, and nearly 800,000 points scored. That would be roughly equivalent to nearly 9 months of non-stop calculations on a supercomputer. This is an amazing achievement, considering that there are nearly 50,000 teams in the Folding@Home program, and that the team is only 10 months old.

Activity on the team has slowed in the last few months, but we still had enough inertia to pass through this amazing milestone.

If you haven't browsed the Folding@Home news lately, the primary Investigator for the program, Vijay Pande, won the Irving Sigal Young Investigator Award from the Protein Society for using distributed computing as a means to speed up research for protein-folding diseases.

Of course, if you haven't joined the team, perhaps now is your chance.
