Re: The flop count dropped down to 0.2 exaFLOP?

So I gess the the main reason the flop count have plunged from a top value at 2.6 exaflop down to 0.2 exaflop, a factor of 13, is mainly due to a flawed method to make the calculation and not that the computing power of the cluster have dropped to 1/13 of the power it had recently. imo it is meaning...

Re: The flop count dropped down to 0.2 exaFLOP?

Thank you ajm. So the claim that Folding was a exaflop capable cluster was based on a miscalculation on an order of at least 5 times the real value providing that they got it right this time.

The flop count dropped down to 0.2 exaFLOP?

If I look at the page here https://stats.foldingathome.org/os it seams that the counting power Folding@home have dropped from more the 1 exaFLOP down to 0.2 exaFLOP. Whay is that?

WU stuck at 99.99%

I have a work unit running on a GTX1070 card that stays at 99.99% seemingly forever. I have restart folding several times to try to finish this work unit but the problem remains, it is stuck att 99.99% The problematic work unit is running in in slot FS01 and is a project 14561, FahCore 0x22 work uni...

Re: Why seams the folding of the protein be so slow nowadays

Thank you all. I'm using version 7.6.9. "But I remember distinctly, that 20 years ago, folding on CPU was just a few atoms. Now it's hundreds, if not thousands of atoms in one WU." Yes MeeLee that might bee the reason that the folding seams so slow nowadays, some of the proteins I run nowa...

Why seams the folding of the protein be so slow nowadays?

Why seams the folding of the protein be so slow nowadays? I remember a few years back when you bring up the Viewer and could se how the protein folded really fast but when I take a look at the protein folding in the Viewer now the protein is almost static. When I look at the protein in the Viewer I ...

Re: AMD GPU Error sortShortList on some projects

Fact is that this type of errors was very frequent on my R9 290 cards and close to nonexistent on my Nvidia cards, I have observed a lot of this type of errors on my AMD cards lately an non on my Nvidia cards. I am wondering if this type of work units are sent more frequently to specifically AMD ca...

project numbers are assigned to researchers by numerical order. It started from project 1 now its at project 16xxx. Researchers lab gets group of project numbers (let's say p14500 to 14550) and they use that number :)

What location? Read it one more time and check the link. It says "Map of the mitochondrial genome of Pseudolebinthus lunipterus sp. nov.", that's what the 'location' is related to in my question. Your link gives ZERO information on WHAT the project numer relates to but thank you for tryin...
