What are FAHCores? Why do I have 3 of them?

Sorry for the straightforward topic title :)

I had some o/c-related problems a while back, and while everything seems to be fine now, I can't help but notice a larger than usual F@H folder.

I have a total of 3 cores in my subdir: 65, 78, and 82. To the best of my knowledge, F@H quit working on one of these cores when my system went haywire during my o/c adventures.

Is it safe to remove any cores that aren't operating with F@H? I have no idea what they are (other than the fact that the cmd-output looks cool when it opens one up.)

    All of them are used for various types of workunits within the F@H project.

    65 is for tinker (Non-SSE workunits)
    78 is for gromacs (SSE-enabled workunits)

    And I don't know what 82 is for. I think there's a new WU type in development, could be for that.

    Yeah Thrax is right. Some WUs require different types of cores.

    Core 82 is for DGromacs, SSE2...
