Re: Help out science by lending unused computer resources
Re: Help out science by lending unused computer resources As reported by [motherboard]:Holy folding batman! People have contributed so much processing power that it now dwarfs even the worlds most powerful super computers, contributing a whopping 1.5 ExaFLOPS (aka 1,500,000,000,000,000,000 floating point operations per second). For perspective, The US Department of Energy, IBM, NASA, and MIT pooled their respective super computers, amounting to 16, for Coronavirus related protein crunching.

Re: Help out science by lending unused computer resources For everyone having issues with reloading pages, use something that is not chrome (based). Ff seems to do just fine with the whole web control. And yes, some times it takes a while for some portions of the page to show up, that's due to either your client needing time to add some info, or their servers not up to handling the massive amount of increase.

There's a fairly accessible app for windows, if you stick to the web controlem and linux is doable if you don't mind searching a lot...

Re: Help out science by lending unused computer resources Ok here is my explanation, as I understand this.For example, trying to research the cure for cancer needs alot of computer power for calculations and what ever else and for sure, you can't do it with a single computer and super computers, the ones who can do this are super expensive, even for scientists.So from all of our computers, they use the power to simulate a super computer and do this job.Hope I am clear and I hope that I understood it correctly.

Re: Help out science by lending unused computer resources
Re: Help out science by lending unused computer resources Hi there,I can recommend Boinc as well. It's a nice program. Selecting a project is as easy as adding it from a list of available projects. Then you can track in real time, what kind of tasks is your computer currently processing. It downloads few from each project, some of them get the computing status, others wait until their time comes. After a task is finished, it is set to wait to be returned to the server. During the computing, you can see percentage of completion for each task, as well as get informations about the estimated remaining time required to finish it.Plus there are various configuration options such as how many % of your computing power should be used in total, whether to pause computations when you use your cpu heavily, or whether to use gpu as well or not.There are various kinds of available projects. During my time, my computer was solving for example the LHC project, aimed to help to renew Large Hadron Collider in cern, Enigma m4 project, which's goal was to crack three messages captured during WWII, which were said to be uncrackable, or Mind modelling project, which was created to simulate processes in human mind.All of them are still running, although I don't really get what is m4 currently doing, as its goal was filled about 10 years ago if I remember right.Best regardsRastislav URL: https://forum.audiogames.net/post/508999/#p508999 -- Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com https://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector

Re: Help out science by lending unused computer resources
Re: Help out science by lending unused computer resources @Brad if you're curious about how it works, maybe this and this would help?As for scientists having their own computers, no, not really. Supercomputers -- computers with enough processing power for these kinds of projects -- are very, very expensive. Most research teams simply cannot afford them. Meanwhile, there's a billion PCs in the world, most of which are not being used all the time. So they realized that all these computers that would normally just wait around while not being used could instead help out by completing tasks. In addition, being able to help out with scientific research will get more people interested in science, which is always a good thing. For more reasons to why scientists don't just use their own computers, check out the last question on Folding At Home's FAQ.@devinprater, that's not going to happen and you know it. Is it truly necessary to make up such conspiracies to make scientists seem like villains? Also, isn't helping someone out of the kindness of your heart, not for money, the exact opposite of capitalism?And yes, it is accessible. Don't you think that if it wasn't, there wouldn't be all these VI people recommending it?

Re: Help out science by lending unused computer resources
Re: Help out science by lending unused computer resources World community grid uses Boinc, which is fully accessible on both Windows and Linux with only minor fiddling (use simple view on Linux, and advanced on Windows). I can't speak for other projects, but essentially the premise behind WCG is that researchers are able to obtain computer power faster than they otherwise would (it runs about 500 years of computing a day), since traditional supercomputers have long wait times. You can find more information on their currently running projects at:https://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/rese … rojects.doCurrently the list includes climate research (predicting rainfall in Africa for farmers), two different cancer-related projects, a search for AIDS drugs, an examination of the human microbium, and a study of TB.

Re: Help out science by lending unused computer resources Thank you for sharing this! It is a shame so many people are automatically distrustful, but hopefully, at least a few will decide to help out.You can find even more scientific research to contribute to on BOINC, an open source platform designed specifically for such jobs, which you can find here:https://boinc.berkeley.edu/You can choose which research you want to help out with yourself, or, if you don't feel like setting all that up, use Science United to just select which areas of science interest you the most (which is what I did).https://scienceunited.orgIf anyone decides to give the scientists a hand, thank you.

Re: Help out science by lending unused computer resources World community grid was run by Berkeley, and had the blessing of many well-known organizations, so I trusted it.this one seems like it has been adopted quite widely as well, and unless there is something specifically pointing to it being sketchy, I wouldn't assume that. after all, condemning distributed computing in general just because it's the same method botnetss use is very similar to condemning the bit torrent protocol because it's used for piracy.Frankly, I for one am more than willing to take the risk if I can contribute something.

Re: Help out science by lending unused computer resources
Re: Help out science by lending unused computer resources @4-5, no, its not. The ratio for distributed computing is, in the mainstream average everyday market, far wider with malware/botnets or companies that aren't transparent at all (e.g.: companies that "pay" you for distributed computing). I'm not saying I distrust this, nor am I saying its evil. What I'm saying is that I would perfectly understand why someone would be hesitant to adopt this.

Re: Help out science by lending unused computer resources
Re: Help out science by lending unused computer resources But, to answer your questions in fairness. Yes you know what the program is doing because you get an overview of what you are simulating, or at least, to what end you are. And, if you really can't resist, there's a protein viewer accessible from the system tray, so you can actually "see" what's going on. As for them being legit, and not evil per say... if a comunity that is part of a 10 mil youtube channel thinks it's fine to join, and if sed channel actually acknowledges this in their live show, as well as activly spredding the way to help, than that sufices for me.

Re: Help out science by lending unused computer resources
Re: Help out science by lending unused computer resources That's nearly the same as saying you should not use office, because hackers use that suite to write their reports and todo lists, and when you press the "save" button, do you really know what happens? Yes, your document is stored on the spot where you want, but is that "really" all that happens?

Re: Help out science by lending unused computer resources
Re: Help out science by lending unused computer resources Its difficult to consider this legit when the same technology is used on a much wider scale by hackers than it is by legitimate people. That, and the fact that most distributed computing programs don't allow you to see what they're actually doing, or present you information that looks legit but actually isn't what the program is really doing. The concerns over the legitimacy of this is definitely valid, especially if the corporation isn't transparent about what they're doing.

Re: Help out science by lending unused computer resources
Re: Help out science by lending unused computer resources it's called distributed computing and it's very legit, scientists use it because there aren't enough super computers for everyone's projects due to the high cost. everything is encrypted, and your results are compared to other peoples to make sure the data is accurate.You can set up how much CPU power you want your computer to use for it, or run it only when you aren't using your computer like a screensaver.The client I used also allowed you to automatically stop processing data as soon as you started using your processor heavily for another task.I hope this client is more accessible than world community grid, that's the one I was trying before. it was really cool to see the numbers going up and to no I was making a small difference, and it was even somewhat accessible…But to really customize it to what I wanted was quite difficult, and it stopped working after a while.

Help out science by lending unused computer resources
Help out science by lending unused computer resources While watching a technology show on youtube this morning, I was made aware of a really interesting piece of software. On the website https://www.foldingathome.org you can find more information on how exactly this is done. In short, you help out science by computing with several thousands of other users, several ways / forms / shapes certain proteins take when interacting with other things, for instance a certain virus with the human body. The more people help compute, the faster results could be investigated, and hopefully, the faster things get along.
