4/19/2002 New scientific code for Folding@Home
"We've been working with new collaborators to develop and integrate new molecular dynamics code into Folding@Home. This should greatly speed up our calculations -- for some, perhaps by as much as 20x. We'll still benchmark WUs to score based on how much CPU time was spent, but we'll get a lot more done with that CPU time. Indeed, we'll be using what looks to be the fastest MD code on the planet. There will be some issues with this namely retooling of our analysis backend and some beta testing of the science part, but we're excited. We'll look to be beta testing this in the next week or two and then if all goes well, roll it out in 2-4 weeks.
The users won't need to do anything, as this is all in the Scientific Core code. However, we'll give more details about the vagueries above when we're closer to rolling out. This speed increase will allow us to directly attack problems that even we couldn't do before!"
De optimist in me zegt dat er dus sneller WU's klaar zijn, waarbij de pessimist direct tegenin brengt "dat er dan wel grotere blokken komen". Lijkt me een serieuze boost in productiviteit
