As we've discussed in previous posts, due to its great computational abilities, our GPU client has had a great scientific impact so far. In our most recent FAH paper (also see the movie), the GPU clients play a star role... (...)

We needed to take one physical server down, but that takes down several interfaces, including vsp07, vsp07v, vsp07b, vsp17, vsp17v, vsp22, vsp22v The machine is fscking now, so it may take a few hours for it to come back. UPDATE... (...)

One machine (vsp08) and its interfaces (vsp08a, vsp08b, vsp08c) is down. Our sysadmins have been notified. Their response is slower on the weekends, so this may have to wait until Monday to come back up. (...)

We're low on jobs for machines w/o SSE capabilities. We are working to fix this. By the way, I often get asked "how come FAH can get low on jobs?" This is a good question, considering that since FAH studies... (...)

We've been working on the WU shortage issue and have some positive items to report. First, we have greatly improved the AS logic so it uses more information about the CPU. This information is only available in the v6 client... (...)

One key SMP server is down (vspg9), which brings down all of its associated interfaces (vspg9a, vspg9b). This is making us very short on SMP WUs. We are actively working on this one, although our IT staff has told me... (...)

Here's an update on our v7 client efforts. The v7 client is a complete re-write in order to make the client more reliable, simple to maintain, and easier to include features that donors have requested. The first versions will not... (...)

With Folding@home (FAH), we have the computer power to tackle challenging problems involved with protein folding. One of the interesting folding-related problems has to do with how proteins (and their conformational change) catalyze viral infection. While viral infection is not... (...)
