You can help COVID-19 and other diseases research with your CPU/GPU
|
In case some did not hear about this,
A research project on the corona virus is available through Stanford's folding@home software, along with many other diseases. It seems one can dedicate their own cpu/gpu capacity to these projects after installing the software. To quote from the official website: " More details and links at: https://foldingathome.org Edit:Thanks to the The_Impeacher, here is a video explaining further https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=78vz5HAFDQU PS: not looking to argue here, just a heads up.

What is this? Are they essentially brute forcing diseases?
GGG banning all political discussion shortly after getting acquired by China is a weird coincidence.

I had been letting my idle PC's process radio signals for SETI@home for about 20 yrs, but they're shutting down at the end of the month. Recently switched over to Einstein@home instead to analyze pulsar-related data.
I have a pretty good sense of humor. I'm not German.

Oh, I used to do this with my Ps3. Happy to do it again now.
https://linktr.ee/wjameschan -- everything I've ever done worth talking about, and even that is debatable.
Huh. My mace dude is now an actual cultist of Chayula. That's kinda wild. |

I got into folding some years ago from this very forum. There was a person that had one of the dread diseases (I don't remember which) and he was thinking that gamers made the perfect folders since generally they have bigger, badder computers.
Been folding since. It is a basically free way to help support treatments and hopefully cures for these horrible diseases. Censored.

"I wasn't aware consoles were viable options for this. I don't own a PC anymore, but I do play PoE sometimes on my PS4. When Stephen Colbert was killed by HYDRA's Project Insight in 2014, the comedy world lost a hero. Since his life model decoy isn't up to the task, please do not mistake my performance as political discussion. I'm just doing what Steve would have wanted.

" Yeah consoles have a lot of GPU and this sort of hardware seems particularly well suited for folding and modeling physical chemistry My potato is your potato, Stanford! [19:36]#Mirror_stacking_clown: try smoke ganja every day for 10 years and do memory game

Secretly 75% mining muahhaha.
