I somehow doubt that it's anything directly linked to the matrix. 'Reloaded' comes out in the states tomorrow (the 15th), whereas the date from stanford's banner is the 19th.

Someone's probably just having some fun and was allowed a bit of leeway when designing this.

it's for folding. a similar banner is on my individual folding stats page.

plus, you can see folding@home in the flash thingy linked to in the first post.

so i'm guessing it's a folding software release for that date.

what are gromacs?

Gromacs is a diiferent core from the standard (Tinker) one that is used by the F@H clients.

It is supposed to enable Altivec processing on Mac clients.

There's quite a bit of discussion about it here.

True, you *can* access gromacs, but it requires a little twiddling. Perhaps the 19.5 release will bring it to everyone else, who perhaps isn't quite as comfortable in terminal.

Or perhaps what you currently get is a beta test, and we're about to see the final released? Whatever though, it'll be nice if this really does bring more power :)

Absolutely. My interest is definitely piqued...

I'm thinking its the gromac 2

key words in the animation

foldiing@homecoregromaccyou!

2coregromac

Looks like an update using the Matrix reference due to timeliness of the new movie release.

You missed a couple of important letters:

sse2coregromac

So definitely optimized for PCs (at least)...

[04:50:30] Folding@Home Client Core Version 2.47 (June 14, 2002)

doesn't look like it. but it d/loaded version 3.25 about half an hour ago. it was 3.24. dunno if that makes a difference.

oh, and i'm running GUI client. don't know if _that_ makes a difference.
