The folding client obtains work units(WU) from the Stanford servers. The WU obtained determines which core is needed for processing of the WU. The core is a separate program (from the client) that does the actual work of simulating the folding of a protein.

Currently there are 6 cores being used. They are Amber, Gromacs, DGromacs, GBGromacs, QMD and Tinker.

Info on Amber (core 82) core.
Info on Gromacs (cores 78, 79, 7A) core.
Info on QMD (core 96) core.
