TOPIC: Fighting Covid with Distributed Computing (you can help!)

Just a quick bump. Several papers are in prepublish state from data generated from folding at home data. Pretty technical reads, though, but find them here:

Most notable is that covid has been modeled for an unprecedented 0.1 second - it took tens of thousands of computers several months to generate that .1 second model, so it you’ve got a computer you could add, please do! While you’re at it, join team True Dungeon - we are on the cusp of breaking the top 2000 teams.

Pure storage blog has a nice interview with Dr Bowman about folding at home.

Cuda support has been added to folding@home to increase performance of Nvidia video cards - anywhere from 15% to > 100%.

Just a reminder that you can use your home computer to contribute computing power to research covid antivirals through several projects. See first post for details.

For recent updates, open pandemics has begun lab testing on 25 promising compounds identified through contributions from home computers - see more details here:

Another bump.

Note, that at this time, your computer contribution would be aiding the creation of anti viral medications that can be taken at home, NOT vaccines. Given the unfortunately low uptake of the vaccines, and the spread of new variants like Delta, it looks like we are going to need anti virals before things can really go back to normal.

Team Statistics:
truedungeon.com/forum?view=topic&defaultmenu=141&catid=8&id=251023&start=0

We have a total of 3 active participants. Maybe we can get that to a dozen? The more participants, hopefully the faster we get the antiviral, and the faster things recover con wise.
