    This is good news! My gtx 1080 will be turning five years old and though it's still a capable card, I want more of its potential to be utilized. Switched back to Team Wilders (54406)--sheesh, is anybody folding here?

    Thought I would donate a little cpu/gpu time to a worthwhile project, plus enjoy the stink of hot metal wafting from my machine. :-* Today, it's potassium ions (selected a high-priority project).

    It seems that Google's AI is slowly making distributed folding projects obsolete?

    DeepMind AI handles protein folding, which humbled previous software

    No Thanks! Was big time into FAH, & posted question here "hardware", to max out my 4 folders. I quit with 2 billion points, with just my machines. Donated money to FAH. IMO & (Bruce FAH forum leader), folders are, pretty much taken for granted. I had 21 solar panels those machines ate, all that power. Emailed with project submitter, for FAH analysis. Gave many presentations on FAH. I contributed glad i did. Knowing what I know about FAH. I wish I had chosen Rosetta instead.

    I ran 4 dedicated machines 24/7, I updated the machines, thank you to Bill @ the hardware section. F@H works, just look at the number of papers published in Journals.

    Since they wrote "We will provide further details early next week" on 23 May, I was expecting a new news update. But sofar there seems to be no more news. Maybe more delay, maybe later. I don't know at the moment.

    About the WCG migration and BOINC:
    While the Website and forum are now up, the BOINC service is not running yet.
    I don't know when that is going to happen. I assume that they will announce it, and that users will post about it on the forum (some are asking about it on the forum).
    So, let's be patient.

    @elapsed Where are those cures? Cures come sooner by folding! At publication Journals, that new knowledge is in the "open domain" meaning anyone can use it Free. This new knowledge can help speed up the process, new drugs. After publication, new knowledge is everywhere, & becomes hard to track what journal paper cured and you made it what. It may be more than one paper that leads to a new drug. Also 'grant' money from NIH has many strings attached. The scientist cannot use Fed. money quit, & start a new company. Time limits are imposed. VJ panda founder of F @H, complied with fed requirements, then went to work for a private company.

    Universities want to attract the best of the best, so they courted give perks; I was at CALTECH, and they got Einstein in addition to research, he had to teach classes. Publish or perish in academia! F@H has many peer-reviewed papers at Stanford, and those papers gave incite to big pharma on how to bring a new drug to fight disease sooner. MD's here treat symptoms, cures may happen.

    Example: Proteins have a 3D shape, and must fold properly, misfolding happens, we can now slow the protein folding process down, see where the error occured, then design small molecules to insert, to avoid the misfold. F@H was a biggie, in the covid moonshot. Which brought the vaccination.

    F@H never chose to be BOINC, & BOINC gives a little 'spare cycles' to many; non-boinc get's all the resources like F@H.

    F@H & Rosetta - have two different strategies or approaches to the same problem; both can complement the other! What's very nice in academia, the knowledge gained is free to all. In biz it's incorporated into products, which are proprietary & guarded. Win-Win

    upload_2023-2-18_5-58-41.png \\ folding name ricoocks

    I used 4 'junk' PC's, with the help of long time member, who always posted in, "Hardware", I cannot recall his name. he was my guiding light for turning JUNK into a Hot Rod, folding 24/7. My mission now, not so much for points or WU's, I now focus on, spreading the word, & planting a seed.

    When you look full circle, idea hatched in academia to a conclusion, a new pill, is very elegant nicely designed, no wonder Biz cozies up to academia!

    More choices for BOINC List of volunteer computing projects - Wikipedia for me I never wanted to spread CPU/GPU, just one F@H. On the subject of giving, it's amazing how little money flows from some large chaities to where it's needed. This is nice more bang for your donated bucks:
