RESEARCH: CORE22-BENCHMARKING
FOLDING PROJECT #17106 PROFILE

This project tests a new program called core22 on different computer hardware. It uses short tasks to find problems and make sure core22 works well on all types of computers.

This project contains a variety of benchmarking systems (with adjusted numbers of steps per system to give equal time/WU on an RTX 2080) to test and benchmark core22.

These WUs are very short and just used to detect issues with various hardware to ensure we can continue to improve core22 on all hardware.

benchmarking

The process of evaluating and comparing the performance of a system or component.

Benchmarking is like testing the speed and efficiency of computer hardware or software. It involves running specific tasks and measuring how long it takes to complete them. This helps identify strengths and weaknesses, allowing for improvements and comparisons between different systems.

hardware

The physical parts of a computer system.

Hardware refers to the tangible components of a computer, such as the processor, memory, storage drives, and graphics card. It's what you can physically touch and see.

RTX 2080

A high-end graphics processing unit (GPU) by NVIDIA.

The RTX 2080 is a powerful graphics card designed for gaming and other demanding visual tasks. It features advanced technologies like ray tracing for realistic lighting and shadows.

WU

A unit of work assigned to a computer processor or GPU.

A Workload Unit (WU) represents a specific task or calculation that needs to be performed by a computer. It's a common way to measure and distribute workload in distributed computing systems.

core22

A specific software or algorithm being developed and tested.

Core22 likely refers to a particular piece of software under development. It could be a new version of an existing program or a completely original piece of code.
