Die Mitglieder unseres Distributed-Computing Teams bei Folding@Home haben es bereits bemerkt: der neue Client 5.00 ist da und kann heruntergeladen werden. Folgende Fixes wurden implementiert:
5.00: - Collection server support. If a client finishes a work unit from a Work server with this feature enabled, then if 2 upload attempts to that server fail, the client will return to the work unit to a Collection server. Pending credit will be given for the unit, becoming final when the Work server comes back up and verifies what the Collection server has received. All work servers will eventually be associated with a Collection server, and many already are. - Configuration option to allow downloads and uploads greater than 5 MB in size, which some new projects will require due to the size of what they are simulating. - G@H configuration option reworded to be "No deadline" option. - Print executable name and launch directory to log. - Fix for bug where queue slot could get stuck "Fetching" - MyFolding links updated. - -forceSSE flag removed, since even with older clients, the flag has become meaningless because recent Core_78's give SSE priority over 3DNow automatically. - Configuration option to pause work when the computer is using battery power (for laptops). - Behavior in response to a shutdown or logoff of the system should be improved (exiting nicely). - Console: Built in service installation support through Configuration, to have the program automatically begin at machine startup. If one wishes, the service can be further configured and interacted with through the Services tool (GUI) that can be accessed through the Windows Settings under Administrative Tools in 2000/NT). The Sc command line tool may also be used. There are known issues with the Net tool. - GUI: Larger window size and more informative display. - GUI: Screensaver configuration option. - GUI: Print a message to FAHlog.txt when ask to network.
Es handelt sich dabei noch um einen Standalone-Client. Der ersehnte Client, der das Folding@Home Projekt ins BOINC-Framework führt, lässt noch auf sich warten.
