agreed

I wanted do drop this thread, but now I cannot NOT re-enter the discussion. Please stop comparing pubblications from numbers, most of all with rosetta Did you read every paper published by Pande Group? How many of those really needed F@H, to be written? On the other hand, Rosetta is a FREE software ...

Don't worry bruce, I'm not trying to convert anyone. In fact, maybe I wouldn't be able, looking at this thread... Anyway I appreciate your answer, MtM and I seem unable to speak to each other :roll: I appreciate the fact that you have considered BOINC, even if I cannot understand why you think that ...

ok, ok... it seems that my words do not pass on you. Why do you think PandeGroup isn't sharing their ability with D.C.? Don't you think that if they were more "open" they would had helped boinc development (back in the days) so that now every project could benefit? More or less (apart from...

I've started with an old P3 667 MHz back in the days... And yes, I have tried BOINC. Is was a piece of junk and the re...

it's different. OpenMM is for the project, not for the platform! BOINC has always supported applications that used "internally" the gpu, but now allows also the use of the GPU as a coprocessor if available, transparently for the user, without requiring user interaction! It's different, am ...

I was under the impression BOINC was LGPL and to become part of it the scientific cores of F@H have to be released under the LGPL too, thereby compromising security... If it was as secure as the current system then SETI would not still require multiple results to validate each other... SETI require...

only two words: why not? Starting from v6 BOINC has: - SMP support Starting from v6.4 there's: - full official nVidia CUDA support Starting from v6.8 (will be out in few months, after final v6.6 that will have a new scheduler): - full official ATi STREAM support. It seems to me that it's a perfect t...
