Where are the Folding@home donors located?

Update: May 2008 FAH donor world map

We've updated our map by hand in May 2008. Click on the map to get a larger version. We're still looking for ways to reliably automate this process. Thanks to Geostats for help with this map.

The above map shows the distribution of IP addresses used by F@H2.0 users in cities across the world. Blue dots indicate 1 address, green indicates 2-5 addresses, yellow indicates 6-25 addresses, orange indicates 25-100 addresses, and red indicates more than 100 addresses used in that town or city. The location of the dot indicates the location that the IP address is registered, and therefore is frequently the location of the internet service provider, not the user. Below, we have additional maps for the distribution of Folding@home IP's from the U.S., Canada, and Europe. Occasionally, there are some errors in the geographic assignment. We are working to update these maps (although other areas have taken precedence).

The NetGeo Perl module was used for the IP-to-location mapping tools (thanks Frank de Lange for pointing it out), and the maps were generated with the GMT mapping tools.

Out of 34542 unique IP addresses, 31206 addresses were mapped to 2605 different locations in 94 countries across the world.
