When we start distributing vaccine design calculations, these will require more memory. CASP7 is coming up first though. there may be some larger proteins where more memory is required.

I hope these different types of WU's will only be sent to machines with adequate memory? Founder of BOINC GROUP - Objectivists - Philosophically minded rational data crunchers.

Last modified: 18 Mar 2006, 22:55:38 UTC The project is designed to run in 512Mb or less to allow systems of that configuration to run the project. I thought you had adamantly stated earlier (I'm sure I remember this...) that 512MB was the MINIMUM configuration - has this changed now?

Since you appear to speak for the project, perhaps you could clarify this. Proudly Banned from Predictator@Home and now Cosmology@home as well. Added SETI to the list today.

That statement would mis-lead people into thinking that less than 512MB would be fine for running the project. Proudly Banned from Predictator@Home and now Cosmology@home as well.

I don't know if that is unusual or not. If it's not unusual I hope that fact is made clear to most new users. Founder of BOINC GROUP - Objectivists - Philosophically minded rational data crunchers.
