Our experience at RAL is that the clients have trouble staying busy with work, so running them as batch jobs seems like it would be rather wasteful. We have however installed them in the background on almost everything we can find with some amount of CPU and/or GPU capacity. I would suggest that if individual sites wish to help out that they install the clients themselves and start donating resources. - James ________________________________________ From: Testbed Support for GridPP member institutes <[log in to unmask]> on behalf of Alessandra Forti <[log in to unmask]> Sent: 20 March 2020 07:38 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: Coronavirus – What we’re doing and how you can help in simple terms – Folding@home What was the objection?

There are also containers circulating now so it would be quite easy to set it up to run at low level at least using the gridpp VO maybe. cheers alessandra On 20/03/2020 00:02, David Britton wrote: > Some scepticism expressed about this on the HPC-SIG email list, so hard > to tell.
