Together we are Even More Powerful: GPU folding gets a powerup with NVIDIA CUDA support!
As of today, your folding GPUs just got a big powerup! Thanks to NVIDIA engineers, our Folding@home GPU cores—based on the open source OpenMM toolkit—are now CUDA-enabled, allowing you to run GPU projects significantly faster. Typical GPUs will see 15-30% speedups on most Folding@home projects, drastically increasing both science throughput and points per day (PPD) these GPUs will generate.
I’ve been folding Covid 24/7 for 6 months. GPU folding does most of the work. CPU only has 8 cores against 2300 GPU cores.
