This is something we want to do in the future, but in not possible right now with the vendor software we are using.

If you read through the news archives at Predictor@home ( http://predictor.scripps.edu/ ) you will see that they started experimenting with this back in . . hmmm . . ?April? I don't know how it is working out. Maybe there is some discussion on their forum. Anybody have a relevant URL?

http://folding.stanford.edu/console-userguide.html

Folding@home has been using arguments after the executable for the client to request normal or non-normal work units. For example: '-advmethods' is one in particular .

'Request to be assigned work units from new projects, before they are broadly released to the rest of Folding@home. As among the first to try out new advanced simulations, you may wish to post any observations (positive or negative), questions, or issues at the user Forum'
