Markov state models (MSMs)
Folding@home lets us generate a lot more simulation data than is typically possible otherwise. Historically, lots of simulation studies have relied on a few simulations, let’s say one to ten.…

The Bowman Lab Rig
Folding@home is an unmatched resource for running molecular dynamics simulations on a massive scale. The need for significant computational resources doesn’t end with data generation though, as analyzing all the…
Read moreNew software release!
We’re delighted to announce the full release of our new client software! We named this release “Bastet” after the Ancient Egyptian goddess associated with protection from disease. You can download…
Read moreUpdates thread
For some time, we've been keeping an updates thread with information for every change that we do to the FAH backend (new WUs, servers on- and off-line, etc). However, many…
Read moreHow does FAH code development and sysadmin get done?
One of the more common question I get asked is how we do our client/server/core programming and backend system administration. Also, others were curious about updates on various core projects.…
Read moreUpdate of the EULA
We have added one word to the End User License Agreement (EULA), but it is an important word. The EULA can be found at https://foldingathome.org/English/License We added the word "written"…
Read moreWhat does the SMP core do?
Our SMP core is very different than the way other distributed computing projects handle multi-core CPU's, and I thought it might be interesting for the FAH community to hear about…
Read moreMore info about the GPU1 to GPU2 transition
There's been several questions regarding the GPU1 client and why we decided to shut it down. I hope I can shed some light here at least on why we're doing…
Read moreHow the GPU2 core works
There have been some misunderstandings on how the GPU2 core works. In particular, for small proteins like villin on GPU’s with large number of stream processors (SP’s) like the 3850…
Read moreHow FAH works: Thermodynamic alchemy
One of the remarkable strengths of thermodynamics is that it is in many ways more general than many of the laws of physics. One of the key concepts in thermodynamics…
