Lawrence....how does FAAH requirement compare to HPF2? Could adding this project to their profiles not reduce this idling of machines......when members have UD agent only, they'd automatically get any new project work when 'in-spec', whilst installing BOINC not necessarily results in members linking into WCG. The FAAH at WCG is so much smoother than e.g. F@H engine.

Hello Sekerob,
HPF2 has been optimized to the point that it uses the same minimum requirements as FAAH, except that it needs more disk space. Still, it is a squeeze. Watch the allocated memory creep up another 30 MB on Task Manager as it allocates and unallocates array space. These all-atom models of molecules are really big by normal standards. Lawrence |

for HPF2, the bar was put higher, so a 500mhz might not get any..... see Computers Usable on HPF2 project There's more life left in the slowest one yet. I shifted the 500MHz to BOINC and it can run FAAH and HPF2 now. It takes awhile to complete a workunit, but it's still active.ciao Some other BOINC projects only require 64Mb memory and any Pentium class, so there's even more useful life left in the old bird even if WCG gets too big. (UD device name=VULTURE) When you want to move a mountain you don't call up 10,000 guys each with a spade and a half ton truck. You do if you are Amish or live in China. A barn raising is done in one day with enough workers WITHOUT power tools. Chinese workers with gunpowder and wheelbarrows built the Central Pacific, now the western part of the Union Pacific. When we run out of oil and electricity we will revert to that philosophy one of these days. Horsepower will be measured with horses again.
