As a Windows user who is also currently doing GPU processing for Folding@home, I was wondering if there is any anticipated timing for making Windows CPU and GPU applications available here?

Thanks!

Yes, we are currently on it. Difficult to say an exact date, but it should be available after the summer.

So, it seems that Windows is here. What are the requirements of both HW and SW?

TIA

See the FAQ section for the NVIDIA GPU hardware list, added an hour ago. See Front page Link.

For software you need NVIDIA Cuda drivers 177.84 or above. These can be downlaoded from the NVIDAI Cuda Zone. See front page link.

For BOINC You need 6.3.10 or above. See front Page Link.

[EDIT]
Note at this time we are still testing, so expect some problems.

A recent BOINC alpha version, right now 6.3.10 is the latest, an up to date Cuda 2.0 capable Nvidia driver and a graphics card with computing capabilities greater that 1.0
