Sony Computer Entertainment announced that since PS3 took part in Stanford University's Folding@home project on March 22, 2007, the total number of registered users has reached over one million users.

Stanford University's Folding@home program has been recognized by Guinness World Records as the most powerful distributed computing network in the world, in no small with help from the PS3 processing power.

SCEA announced a Folding@home v1.2 application update for PS3 users, adding functionalities and features, including support for Remote Play for PSP, added protein simulations and visuals, as well as a screensaver mode which enables PS3 to consume slightly less power and increases the performance of protein-folding simulations.

Great progress has been made in the one month since PS3 became part of Stanford University’s Folding@home program, a distributed computing project aimed at understanding protein folding, misfolding and related diseases.
