I've been BOINCing for quite a while (especially on [email protected]) and i've recently gotten interest in folding, for everything that can be learned of folding proteins, and possibly developing cures for diseases.
If i were to fold, i'd do so for 6-7 hours a day, at least 4-5 days a week (give me a couple days to play and liberate stress, if i get bored i'll fold again
) on my i3 ridge (I'll dedicate my HTPC to being an HTPC and SETI BOINCing). I plan to use both video cards and my i3 to fold. I'll be also keeping HT on to fully take advantage of the 4 threads this can handle. I also plan to see if i can get a higher overclock on this processor, as i've got cooling under control with my H50.
I've been reading the client guide, ans i've got a couple questions about all of them:
- When folding on CPU, given all the time frame i can fold and the processor power, should i still pick the Unicore or do you think i could finish a couple SMP WU's?
- Is there any difference between using the Unicore or the SMP client, besides of the bonus points?
- To fold on GPU, do i still need the GPU client for Fermis or is there any way to configure the same CPU client that you recommend me?
So far those are all my questions (for now). I hope to start folding next week, after the BOINCers gone Bonkers event
