I would like to see direct drug design in the future :)

As exciting as that prospect might sound to all contributors to public distributed computing projects such as this one it will never happen.
The reasons for this are many and you may like to read this

There is always the inconvenient fact that few (if not all) scientists have little confidence in public distributed computing.

Question related to the thread-title:

any idea when an app for Windows will be available?
Further, will there be a version for XP as well?

I know you're not directing your question at me but as far as XP is concerned read this post https://gpugrid.net/forum_thread.php?id=4552&nowrap=true#46982

I know this thread and it's content. Still I don't stop hoping that they may have changed their mind and provide once more an app for XP.
So, we'll see ...

The only reply I can give to someone who asks a question that they already have read the official answer to is "dream on"

But confidence in what? It may not be used for developing commercial drugs, but for basic science the results could be quite useful.

That really depends on how relevant the questions are that the researchers are asking. The real limitation is that in the academic world, they may not know what issues to investigate that are most relevant. A tie-in between the university and industry (as in an advisory board) might help that.

Well guys... It doesn't work that way. Science as a "whole thing" is so complex and unpredictable that we can't even assume what is going to be important and what is not.
One hundred years ago Maria Sklodowska Curie found out that some strange piece of scrap is destroying photographic film. Who cares, right? There was war, people were hungry and have others "big and now" problems. But she studied it and now we have radiotherapy, MRI, gamma knife and many others things. Who could ever know?

We also had nuclear bombs, nuclear fission reactors and, hopefully, fusion reactors. Science can make both good and bad fruits.

Yea, but relax ... we are the good guys. Claims to the contrary are FAKE NEWS! ;)

I would love to see HCF1 protein folding and interaction simulations to help my little boy... someday.

Are we? I read the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists. USA have 4850 nuclear warheads, 160 of which are stored in Italy, 20 at an air base 200 km from my home. Russia has the same amount, and I don't mention UK,France,China, India,Pakistan and Israel.

We can withdraw the U.S. ones from Europe. Then the Russians will be free to move in theirs.

I don't think UK and France would allow it. They have nuclear warheads too.

Let's keep the explosions on-topic -- Let's talk about exploding GPUGrid apps and tasks :)

Why not keep it totally on topic -- shutup and wait for an announcement that the damn thing is fixed!!

hi Gianni

doe you know how it is possible to brake an application, there are back ups

i think it may be conveniant to push towards the linux application/ broken windows gpu application ? > for me it doesn't feel like scientific truth and want some more answer of what happened please

if you want me to switch to Linux please say it

regards

That was a bit unnecessarily rude. I also hope that they can fix it.

@ GDF, Toni, Stefan ...

any vague idea when the Windows app will be available?

We are working round the clock to restore it... sorry for the delay. It's not easy. By the way the cuda65 app should be ok, although there are no WUs.

We know you're doing your best, be strong and good luck!

Don't listen to the haters.

It works on windows xp.

It should work as before. I sent some test WUs. Work to come.
