  1. Kuwait ha ufficialmente dichiarato il mining di criptovalute "illegale e non autorizzato",il consumo energetico nella zona è diminuito del 55% in una sola settimana.

  2. How good would any of this AI/NPU processor crap be for protein folding? If it was supported? Folding LOVES GPUs, would it love these other designs?

    Also now that I think about it, what about RT and Tensor cores on GPUs too?

    Too bad f@h will never be rewritten to leverage any of it it feels like. Unless developments have been happening :>

  5. @stfn I've contributed off and on to #boinc #foldingathome and other #distributedcomputing projects for many years but now don't want to run up my electric bill or warm the planet for them.
    Are there any data showing energy efficiency of distributed computing options? I can run Folding@Home on just my high efficiency cores 24/7 with #AppTamer but I've no idea if that is "green" compared to a server. BOINC uses high power/low efficiency cores so I uninstalled it.

  6. I tried #foldingathome and #boinc on my M1 and M2 macbook airs to see how they work without fans.
    None of them use the efficient cores of the #applesilicon CPUs, even #einsteinathome, which supposedly is written for these.

    #apptamer can force #foldingathome but not #boinc to run on the efficient cores and #primegrid can use the GPU.

    Makes me wonder again how green is #distributedcomputing compared to projects just building or leasing larger, more efficient computers. #greencomputing

  7. Conoscete già il progetto Foldit? È un gioco installabile sul proprio computer, risolvendo i puzzle che vi verranno mostrati darete un contributo alla scienza e alla ricerca!
