I’m getting close to not bothering with FAH and shifting to Rosetta, even though it doesn’t have GPU support.

Re: F@H websites need some TLC!

I’m trying to help the project to engage enterprise IT and cloud service providers, and I can’t find any information about who’s running this project or who I could connect to contacts I have at CSPs. The director of FAH is Professor Greg Bowman. So if you plan something on a large scale and not @h...

Re: F@H websites need some TLC!

I share your concerns. I’m trying to help the project to engage enterprise IT and cloud service providers, and I can’t find any information about who’s running this project or who I could connect to contacts I have at CSPs. Im guessing the team doesn’t understand that they’re not offering this in a ...

Re: Enterprise and cloud service provider participation

https://stats.foldingathome.org/os Perfect, thanks Bruce. I'm hopeful that CSP and enterprise donors will have enough idle capacity to significantly help. I'm assembling a team within my organization, and one ways we hope to help is by connecting contacts at Azure, Google, Amazon, etc. with FAH lea...

Re: Enterprise and cloud service provider participation

Any 'automatic' install is going to be misused by hackers wanting to inflate their score. F@H is very clear that you need the permission of the owner of the hardware. It also 'serializes' the install so it can't be imaged. All this is not particularly IT friendly, but keeps the software honest. I a...

Re: Enterprise and cloud service provider participation

I think you underestimate the cost of managing and maintaining large numbers of folding units. This is exactly the problem proper automation and deployment solves. And the cloud providers' "idle resources" may sound like it would be free for them to be folding but it's also a quite seriou...

Re: Enterprise and cloud service provider participation

Thanks for getting back to be Bruce. I've mined crypto and can relate to the performance difference FAH would experience between GPU and CPU. It's no surprise that GPU time is considerably more expensive than CPU time. Since I'm new here, I'm curious just how large the processing power already is, a...

Enterprise and cloud service provider participation

I'm new to FAH and have near-zero medical/ science knowledge. I gather that given enough computing resources, FAH can make a material difference in the fight against coronavirus. If that is incorrect please let me know. By way of introduction, I'm a cloud solution architect and I assist my employer ...

Re: 2019-nCoV

Unfortunately, the options are hard-coded in the client and releasing a new client is a big deal for Development. The only real choice is "other" and the servers will set the priorities. Given the urgency and global impact, isn't that effort warranted? Frankly, not being able to focus cyc...
