Re: [ccp4bb] CCP4 for iphones

In a sentence, primarily due to cost and power constraints mobile devices don't (currently) have the horsepower to do any serious *generic* number crunching, as would be required for anything of interest to this community. On the topic of using otherwise-idle compute time, our group has a publicly

Re: [ccp4bb] CCP4 for iphones

I've been curious if there has been discussion about moving data processing and refinement to a software as a service (SaaS) deployment. If programs were web accessible then it may save researchers time and trouble (maintaining and installing software). In turn, one could then process data via

Re: [ccp4bb] CCP4 for iphones

Well, maybe building a distributed computing network （Like Fold@Home) by iphone is an improvement of the clusters. Let's think about a phenomenon, the most common functions of our iphone are calling, playing music, and maybe gaming, so most of the time the phone is idle. Why don't we try to use the

Until tcl/tk gets ported, this might tide you over: http://www.readpixel.com/remotetap/index.html It is a VNC display optimized for iPod/iPhone/iPad use. -- Bill - On Feb 25, 2011, at 11:54 AM, Jacob Keller wrote: > Hello All, > > is there a ccp4 app for iphones yet

Re: [ccp4bb] CCP4 for iphones

Hi, Your idea is very cool, but i think it's difficult to run CCP4, Coot or Phenix on iphone/itouch. Because the CPU of iphone/itouch is very slow and the graphics engine is also not good enough for these programs. But I think we can install an SSH client app on iphone/itouch/ipad, such as iSSH,

Hello All, is there a ccp4 app for iphones yet? Has any structure been solved on an iphone? I know BR uses an iphone to drive his robots, but what about structures? (A question for Friday afternoon...) JPK *** Jacob Pearson Keller Northwestern University
