Re: Is folding based on BOINC?

It was this wiki
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supercomputer

Thank goodness for the history, I went back to check it and saw it was changed. Thought I was going crazy.

Is folding based on BOINC? [No. FAH came first.]

I thought folding was not compatible with BOINC. On the website it says they stopped development on it 2006.

In the wiki on super computing, it says Folding is based on BOINC.

Just curious.

Resistance...to FAH

I may not be the most persuasive guy, but I find telling people about FAH I am met with astonishing resistance.

Often people think I am a complete idiot for bothering.

Does anyone else encounter that kind of thing?

Re: Will F@H finish?

Folding@Home has been around for a number of years now, and I was just starting to wonder, is this project something that can be completed, or will it be ongoing for the rest of the foreseeable future? If this project has a finish line, how close are we to reaching it? I may be talking out the wron...

No, sorry perhaps I was not clear.

What I am asking is, for a project like 2653, how long would it take the researchers to complete it without the distributed computing....

How long would a project take.... say 2653

2653 seems to be talked about a lot on the forums. I guess it is a big SMP WU. I am curious to know in general terms for a project like that, how long would it take without FAH? If Dr. Pande and collegues were scratching about the basement of a biology building with a small Best Buy budget for compu...

I am running the standard release client on my laptop. I tried the SMP and it wasn't working out. I have subsequently learned that there are graceful ways apparently to shut it down. I will keep track and look for an SMP release client. Till then it is churning away on whatever the standard client ...

I quit running the SMP on my lappie because it didn't like being turned off and on all the time. When I was at work and just left it on, it completed WU's just fine within deadlines. I like to look at it differently. You quit running the Beta client on your laptop because it didn't like being turne...

I will have the Quad reconfigured back to a single SMP client.

The above sentence says 'one FAHcore per CPU-Core' Does that mean one Client per CPU? If I have a quad core, which is effectively 2 dual cores.... is running the SMP client twice on a quad core what Dr Pande is asking us NOT to do? Or is he asking us not to run two clients accessing a single core.....
