Just as Bell Labs helped create the digital revolution, the Institute for Protein Design will work to fuel the protein design revolution. By expanding the Institute, doubling its faculty and training a new generation of scientists, IPD will accelerate the pace of discovery and dissemination of new protein technology ID: 90689 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

I hope this means they will send us a wider variety of work and more of it. I will upgrade my machines as needed. ID: 90694 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

The Ryzen 3000 looks interesting. It will have better double precision at least; maybe better AVX2? You are too ambitious! I'm satisfied with the sse2 (p.s. SSE2 was released for first time in 2000 from Intel and 2003 from Amd, 16 years ago!!) and it's used in a lot of projects (Tn-grid, Seti, Lhc, etc). Boinc supports detecting Sse2 (on Windows) since release 6.10.19 (May 2010), so it's not a boinc's infrastructure issue. But this is an old story ID: 90733 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

I just want them to feel guilty, that's all. If you are interested, there is a very good thread on this argument (with rsj5 clarification on optimization) Optimization ID: 90736 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote
