1) Message boards : Number crunching : Rosetta@home using AVX / AVX2 ? (Message 79422) Posted 19 Jan 2016 by h Post: This is my first post here. The fallout opinion is that the code of rosetta can't go open, simply because there is comparison with other such software mostly proprietary so others will exploit in known ways openness of this code or other way-expose some stolen parts or just ideas which may be covered with patents not owned. Money lead the way and we are just poor volunteers. Because this launch is for free. Developers of rosseta not care about efficiency. Simple look to executable it is just renamed x64 bit, but in reality is just 32 bit as some volunteers mentioned already. I want to raise some thumb about the behavior of the watch dog timer in that application (3.65) No heartbeat from core client for 30 sec - exiting This message cause the Clean Energy Project 2 of world community grid to restart application and nullify time elapsed for example after 12 hours of wasting electricity. I quit from this project. It is just not fair. I must say that I am not for points and badges and other virtual goodies for Pavlov's pet but if project is inefficient just tell the people that this is it and nothing can be done. In which I doubt. Here, at least, for fair play, the elapsed time is being kept correctly. But this, in no way means that time is wasted efficiently. The volunteers processors may just produce huge mass of random numbers and not useful results. So what. Anytime you can switch to SETI and expect close encounter of third kind.
