The GPU2 code beta test is going well so far.  While there are some issues to deal with, it looks like this client is significantly easier to use than GPU1. …

Folding@home has been honored as a Netxplorateur in France (see http://www.netxplorateur.org/ for details).  This award has been given to FAH based on our work in developing a distributed computing network…

It’s Thanksgiving Day in the US — a holiday where we eat a lot food, play some football, and most importantly think about the previous year and everything we’ve been…

We have another new paper to come out in the Journal of Molecular Biology (paper #53 on our results web page).  This paper is on protein folding and is Dan…

We have a new work that just came out in PLoS Computational Biology on lipid vesicle fusion.  I talked about previous work in a previous post (when I talked about…

One area we’ve been putting a lot of attention into is understanding how folding may be different in the cell than say in a test tube.  This is a pretty…

Here are some pics from SC2007.  Stanford has a booth there and FAH/PS3 is featured at the Stanford booth (along with lots of other interesting Stanford exhibits, including the original…

FAH will have a presence at Supercomputing 2007 in several places.  Stanford University has a booth and FAH will be pretty prominently displayed there.  Also, we’re hoping to have a…

The anonymous team went over 2^31 points (over 2 billion) last night.  That’s a lot of points.  When we wrote our scripts some years ago, we didn’t expect to reach…

As many of you have heard, we’ve passed a petaflop in performance for FAH.  A petaflop is 1 million-billion floating point operations per second, i.e. 10^15 operations per second or…
