With Folding@home (FAH), we have the computer power to tackle challenging problems involved with protein folding. One of the interesting folding-related problems has to do with how proteins (and their…
Read moreHere's an update on our v7 client efforts. The v7 client is a complete re-write in order to make the client more reliable, simple to maintain, and easier to include…
Read moreOne key SMP server is down (vspg9), which brings down all of its associated interfaces (vspg9a, vspg9b). This is making us very short on SMP WUs. We are actively working…
Read moreThe GPU3 open beta test for NVIDIA GPUs is going well. There have been a few issues uncovered and our team is working on it. However, there haven't been any…
Read moreWe have a new GPU core (core 15) going into an open beta test for NVIDIA clients. This core requires a new client (see below) as well as the latest…
Read moreWe've been working on the WU shortage issue and have some positive items to report. First, we have greatly improved the AS logic so it uses more information about the…
Read moreWe're low on jobs for machines w/o SSE capabilities. We are working to fix this. By the way, I often get asked "how come FAH can get low on jobs?"…
Read moreOne machine (vsp08) and its interfaces (vsp08a, vsp08b, vsp08c) is down. Our sysadmins have been notified. Their response is slower on the weekends, so this may have to wait until…
Read moreWe needed to take one physical server down, but that takes down several interfaces, including vsp07, vsp07v, vsp07b, vsp17, vsp17v, vsp22, vsp22v The machine is fscking now, so it may take a few hours for it…
Read moreAs we've discussed in previous posts, due to its great computational abilities, our GPU client has had a great scientific impact so far. In our most recent FAH paper (also see…
