[KWSN - News]

New work should be ready this evening. The 0.3x version of dTASSER for the Intel and PowerPC Mac are ready. The new application has checkpointing. In tests the new work units took just over 6 hours on a new dual core machine to 18 hours on a single cpu hyperthreaded machine. The new and old applications do not mix. You need to make sure that you are running dtasser-0.30 before you start any new jobs or the work will not validate. If you still have any t0348 or t0377 jobs please cancel them. New jobs will require 70Mb RAM for the first 80% and 770MB for the last 20%.
