These server software is extremely old, outdated and obsolete.

Where do you see this?

will rosetta use cuda/gpu crunching? my gtx295 is begging :-D

i have my i7 920, and my work computer and server rockin rosetta@home.... but i want to get those extra gpu's going... without running those on a different project....


any ideas?

I was referring to RAC. You are using a credit per MB of BW system. So, yes, I'd expect that the more factors you can play together that reduce MB of download will improve your credit per MB. But, it will not make a material difference in credit per day of crunching, which is what RAC amounts to.

I'm curious too, how did you measure your bandwidth? Are you using a proxy server that recorded that? I'm not questioning your figures. Just looking for more ways to measure it my self :)

Yes virtual, I wouldn't "sell it" as a RAC improvement. It should be basically unmeasurable. And, as you can imagine, if a new protein come in to study during your test, then you had an extra couple of 2-3MB files to download. It really varies. So, it isn't even really intended to be much of a bandwidth saving. I really boils down to the number of hits on the scheduler. After that, the specific file transfers are not the main focus of changing these values.

You can also reduce file transfer bandwidth (and scheduler hits) if you keep more days of work on your machine. If you say connect about every 3 days for example, rather then the 0.1 days default, that can make a nice reduction in hits on the servers. Not that setting to .1 days means you actually always do 240 hits per day, but the higher value will reduce the number of requests.

Is there some interest in developing a GPU version for the project ??
