It has been mentioned before that Dr. Baker's lab has many different projects and methods being investigated by various reasearchers on the team. It has also been mentioned that many of them are waiting for enough capacity to submit their work to Rosetta@home. We've seen the project TFLOPS go from roughly 15 to roughly 55, and we've seen addition of Amyloid Fribrils, RNA, and DOCK tasks. And have heard about work being started on design of an enzyme to capture CO2. ...so I was wondering, if the project TFLOPs went to 100 tomorrow, what additional projects would we see being released on Rosetta@home? Sometimes things like this are like the chicken and egg problem. So I am hoping that if people gain an understanding of the projects that are still waiting for TFLOPs to run, it might intice them to spread the word and get their friends to crunch. Or to increase their resource shares. Add this signature to your EMail: Running Microsoft's "System Idle Process" will never help cure cancer, AIDS nor Alzheimer's. But running Rosetta@home just might! https://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/ |

Given the lack of an answer to your questions (in the two plus months since you asked it), and the fact that the Project has so far ignored my repeated requests for a brief answer to one or two questions related to the parallelization of the Rosetta code and how it could work (as it has for other projects) on gaming consoles (PS/3)... I guess it was a misunderstanding that the Project desires increased (tflop/pflop) capacity.
