And it’s exploded recently to where their servers are literally choking on the data coming in from the participants. It is real, and real powerful, and has helped tremendously in the past. Download it and start folding protiens with your computing power when your not using it. Default settings “any...” prioritize covid work units when available.
Sure, your PC and all GPUcores will run 1100%...or 50 if you desire. But now, we have so many cores in our computers its orders of magnitude more powerful that it was just ten years ago. Ive got 8 cores on it at 4.2ghz each.
Everyones on the train to help this problem go away.
Check it out.

I’ve been working from home so my gone laptop is running it 100% 24/7 and my work laptop is running it 100% whenever I’m idling.
My desk sounds like a server room now.

I’ve been running this on three machines at work for the last week. The majority of the time it’s sitting there waiting for new work units. Which is a good thing. It means they aren’t CPU bound.

Its taking 20 minutes to get new WU’s, that’s how saturated servers are. Awesome!

Ma ybe it helps, but I’m not sure how smart it is now. 20 years ago computers ran full power anytime they were on so running this sort of distributed computing project was essentially free. Now their low power states are pretty low power, so there’s the question as to whether the resources to run the project would be better spent in some other way.

Only 20 minutes? Maybe they just don’t like my slow work machines. Two of the machines had 15+ attempts to get a work unit. Then again, they are a Core i3, Core i5, and an older Core i7.

Think of donating a bit of coin to the project through your electricity. Besides, looking at that vs. how many cores at a time are knocking it down it pretty impressive.

just signed up my old machine. its nothing special but it has 32 gb of ramm and 2 xeon quad cores

That makes 0 sense... They ran at full power so extra computing didn’t consume power? Wtf...
To the second part. Are you trying to be the eco guy? Everyone can do whatever they want with the energy they pay for. Could you maybe appreciate that for once the power is used to contribute to an actual research? Or are you one of those who i s glad if there will be less people to “destroy the planet”.

Guys, any machine with a GPU AMD or NVIDIA is going to bo 5x faster than most CPUs. I have a 16x and 2080 I will start up in a day or so. I am sure that FAH is scrambling to add more WU servers since this cause is critical. Their pre vious ones als I important. There arr rumblings of more server clusters going online in the next days (100k+ GPUs total). So they need a WU server oor two ust for that.

I’m giving it a try. Remember that SETI thing many years ago?

Watch a recent Linus tech tips video on this. Explains a lot. Yes the gpu is awesome, if you have a great one. Otherwise my 16 threads will crunch really well. For the money, a 2060 can’t be beat, and if someone built a dedicated rig, 4x2060 would be very cost effective plus a 6 core basic chip and minimal memory. Perfect rig.
