This thread I address mainly to the '4P' mafia members, but anyone with interest and a good idea is welcomed to participate.
Although I've had a year to get ready for BigAdv's ending, I'm still not ready. The 48-core machine building, Linux learning, molecule modelling adventure has been a wonderful experience for me, as I hope it's been for you. What will you do? What will I do. Here are some ideas off the top of my head. I'd appreciate your comments, ideas, criticisms, and what have you.
Leonardo at Overclockers
Leonardo at Folding
1. Do nothing. Just fold whatever Stanford chooses to through at at system configured for -smp, -bigadv.
2. Save a pile of money each month; quit Folding@Home.
3. *Sell the 4Ps on eBay and build multi-GPU machines for Folding.
4. Transition to other distributed computing projects that optimally utilize a 48-core system's capabilities. (I think there are a couple BOINC projects.)
5. Put the 4Ps in storage and look at them every now and then with a smile and tear in one eye.
*Find a good eBay seller with a good rep, let him sell my gear with a commission (I've never sold anything on eBay).
