I'm at NIH today for the IMAG meeting on the Impact of Modeling on Biomedical Research.  IMAG stands for the Interagency Modeling and Analysis Group and it constitutes all of…

Two key parts of FAH technology — OpenMM (the software that powers FAH on GPUs) and MSMbuilder (the algorithms that FAH uses to stitch together hundreds of thousands of donor…

The scientific code underlying our research has a lot of dials and switches.  It can be very tempting to play with those switches to optimize the calculations.  However, many of…

We are preparing for the public release of a new work unit category: extra-large advanced methods work units. Some background information is provided below; we'll update this thread with more details as…

Next week, we will be having a Molecular Dynamics (MD) workshop (see http://simbios.stanford.edu/calendar.htm for details) for three main pieces of Folding@home-related software, namely OpenMM (the GPU acceleration code behind the FAH GPU…

Today (January 8, 2008) at 4pm, I'll be giving a talk at PARC, giving an update about Folding@home.  If anyone is local to the Palo Alto area, you can be…

We're happy to announce a new Pande Group paper (paper #61 at https://foldingathome.org/English/Papers).  This paper describes a new computational screen to identify important mutations in influenza: Combining Mutual Information with…

Jim Clark has been a major donor to Stanford and his great contributions has had a huge impact on my group's work in general and on Folding@home in particular.  Jim…

We have another paper that came out recently (paper #60 at https://foldingathome.org/English/Papers).  This one describes the PS3 client in FAH: Accelerating Molecular Dynamic Simulation on the Cell processor and PlayStation…

I am very happy to announce that a first key work (paper #58 at https://foldingathome.org/English/Papers) from the Folding@home project on Alzheimer's Disease (AD) was just published Simulating oligomerization at experimental concentrations…
