New paper #63: Accelerating Molecular Dynamic Simulation on Graphics Processing Units
We're happy to announce a new paper (#63 at https://foldingathome.org/English/Papers). This paper describes the code behind the Folding@home GPU clients, detailing how they work, how we achieved such a significant speed…
Read moreFolding@home passes the 5 petaflop mark
Based on our FLOP estimate (see https://stats.foldingathome.org/os), Folding@home has passed the 5 petaflop mark recently. To put it in context, traditional supercomputers have just broken the 1 petaflop mark, and even…
Read moreMain AS and stats down, ETA for fix 10am pacific time
The machine which handles the main assignment server (AS) and the stats update is currently down. We expect that this machine will be back up by 10am pacific time. Since…

It's still early (since this paper was just accepted), but I wanted to give FAH donors a heads up on our work on Huntington's Disease aggregation, which is just about…
Read moreAS code change
We’ve made a code change in the two main assignment servers (assign1.foldingathome.org & assign2.foldingathome.org) to handle a potential problem people have been having with getting through firewalls. For those who…

I've talked about OpenMM before — it's the library we're releasing to allow other scientists to take advantage of the great speed up found in our GPU code. We're now…
Read moreUpdates to the stats system
We have made some updates to the stats code to make it faster and more useful. The recent changes speed web page creation in general and also cache team pages…
Read morenew stats update schedule
We have switched the stats (points) update to occur every 3 hours instead of every 2 hours. The reasoning here is that it takes about an hour to update the…
