Meet new FAH GPU programmer Yutong Zhao

We have had an unfilled spot in our GPU programming team for a few months and I'm happy to announce that we recently made a great new hire: Yutong Zhao.
Yutong completed his undergraduate degree in Math, Chemistry, and Biochemistry from the University of Toronto, and a Masters degree in Computational Chemistry from HKUST, focusing on GPU-powered clustering algorithms. Previously, he has also worked on projects such as FoldIt! Currently, he is the lead developer of the Folding@Home GPU core and aims to extend functionality while increasing maintainability. He also plays a key role on the OpenMM side, he works on devising parallel algorithms to speed up MD simulations. He also maintains a blog detailing some of his algorithms and problems on www.proteneer.com .

For those of you interested in the older 6.41 client, we've updated the download links for the 6.41 GPU client. Please find it in the normal place:

http://folding.stanford.edu/English/DownloadWinOther

This is likely only of interest to a very small community as we highly recommend most people to use the latest v7 client.



Windows XP/2003/Vista/7 GPU3 (required for Fermi) System tray client with special viewer for NVIDIA GPU's (installer msi).

6.41
Windows XP/2003/Vista/7 GPU3 (required for Fermi) no-nonsense console client.

6.41

Happy Folding, Ray......

Wow, so TL;DR, starting in May of this year BigAdv minimum core count is 24 cores.

Then, on January 31st 2015, BigAdv will officially be retired.

Looks like the main focus from our perspective then will be GPU.

It would be good in light of this, if going forward we (as a team), could come up with some standard recommended folding rigs. Either based on price bands and/or PPD bands and/or power consumption bands. What do you think?
