We are improving the progress bar for our apps. This is especially important for mdrun where we want to run simulations for several days. With a progress bar that updates every 100 steps of a 5 million step simulation, a cruncher should be more confident that the simulation is running properly if they see th progress bar updating over the course of 5 days. In addition, checkpointing is already a feature native to this app, so if you pause, you should be able to return to the same point in the simulation. -Jack

The group on Drugdiscovery@home project was created at Facebook. It's called: "Drugdiscovery@home - help us making new cures for age related diseases". We'll be glad to invite people interested in distributed computing application for the early drug discovery process.

Our project is back online. We now have a workflow to further analyze docking results using molecular dynamics. We are also on the verge of providing GPU support. Our project needs its volunteers to come back. Your credits can be restored. Just provide us your username, authenticator and email address. We also have account creation temporarily enabled so you can register. -Jack

We are working on several things, resolving problems with certain ligands, experimenting with GPUs and studying the feasability of optimizing gromacs for PS3s for our project. I am also planning another BOINC Meetup. This time a social gathering on the US National Mall to watch Close Encounters of the 3rd Kind. Bring your SETI Shirts http://opensource.meetup.com/84/

Happy Bastille Day! We are now looking at GPU integration for GROMACS. We may need a little help with this integration. Here is a thread I started which includes links to related code. There is a msvc solution for building gromacs and there are various pre-compiled libraries for integrating cuda called OpenMM, read more http://boinc.drugdiscoveryathome.com/forum_thread.php?id=84

We submitted a large batch of flexible docking last night. Almost 200,000 workunits pending. Come and kill this queue and please if there are any Macs, by all means attach. -Jack

Recently purchased a system with nvidia cards and will begin testing cuda code for GROMACS. We will also be running flexible docking simulations in the next few days. And then taking those results and simulating the docking complexes with GROMACS.
