Folding Forum

I haven't received any work for my Intel GPU for a few weeks now.

Same here, when my WU finished my pc stays on. A few months ago this didn't happen.

I kind of get OP's point.

Communication is key to motivate us folders. But honestly, FAH is already doing a pretty good job on this. With Rosetta@Home, you have no idea what you're crunching and the research very rarely reply on questions on the forum.

I'm fine thank you.

FACTS: The Intel iGPs are extremely slow compared to other GPUs. Also if you also fold with a CPU slot, it will slow down, increasing your total throughput only slightly. In other words, don't expect much. Speed it really important to FAH projects and slow GPUs do slow down the whole project. There...

That's a relief

The Moonshot isn't the only Covid project running in Folding@Home though. There are other Covid projects being run, and also projects looking at other diseases. The active project list is here: https://apps.foldingathome.org/psummary Since OP is a CPU folder, look at the core A7 projects (afaik, on...

FAH put a lot of work into preparing data for the COVID Moonshot project. (We were only one team of many working cooperatively.) I was disappointed when I heard that project was cancelled. I'm not sure of the details. (Reasons might have included the non-patentability of FAH's results or project fu...

I think he's a CPU only folder - the projects he's describing are the same I'm getting on my CPU.

If the Covid Moonshot finds a compound that it shown to work in an in vitro assay and is safe in animal testing, and can be synthesized in an economical way, then many drug companies can start clinical trials without paying for a patent. It would be ethical to credit the Covid Moonshot if they use ...

The fall-off among Active Users since the April high is significant but the Monthly Points totals have actually held up much better and appear to be holding for now at roughly...

No CPU shortages here

@MFicek: We hear you, and we primarily use Folding@home to work on cancer! You can check out more of what we do here: http://choderalab.org Much of the lab has been pitching in on our COVID work to develop a new small molecule therapy with the COVID Moonshot ( http://postera.ai/covid ), but we shou...

For question 2, as far as I know FAH has done no work on vaccines. They're mainly focused on finding druggable sites in the virus' proteins and and developing an antiviral (the COVID Moonshot project).

I do believe the Intel GPUs are still in beta, so you'll need to continue to use the beta flag.
