Rosetta@home screensaver | Rosetta Beta 5.89

Thanks for response. So let me get this right because I'm a little new to these programs, but Rosetta is for the purpose of trying to discover the dynamics of protein folding, am I correct?

@benthemiester

Yes, "trying to discover the dynamics of protein folding" is a good description of the work being done at Rosetta@home..

Does anybody know how much of a load this puts on your computer. I know that Einstein Home doesn't really slow your computer down, but not sure about Rosetta.

@benthemiester

I think Rosetta's load is comparable to Einstein's. I run both on some very old computers with no troubles. Even if the load was felt in any way, BOINC has various settings to minimize its presence.

I'll be honest, this screensaver function is about half the reason I dl'd the software :D

Hi, can you please tell me how you launched the screensaver in a window, i am desperately trying to record it but neither fraps nor camstudio is able to record the boinc screensaver sucessfully.

I would thank you alot für an answer :)

@Freigeist20789

If you're using BOINC Manager, launch it and click 'Show graphics' under the 'Tasks' tab.

@AlexPiskun thank you soooo much...

I'm going to make a little promotion video fpr rosetta seti etc....you helped me :)

What about just Folding@Home?

[AlexPiskun]

Folding@home is a beautiful distributed computing project and ran well for me when I was active there (during times that I ran out of SETI@home work) many years back.

For a short time F@h tried the BOINC platform which I also ran, but BOINC was abandoned by F@H.

I lost touch with F@H at that time because BOINC and the multiple projects are way more fun for me.
