Hello all, For anyone who is unaware, the Folding@Home project is a distributed computing project aimed to help scientists develop new therapeutics for a variety of diseases by the means of simulating protein dynamics. This includes the process of protein folding and the movements of proteins, and is reliant on simulations run on volunteers' personal computers. I'd like to encourage everyone who is willing and able to contribute your spare CPU/GPU cycles for Folding@Home to do so (for example, if you have a home server, or a computer that is running fairly often), and if you already are doing so, I encourage you to join the Debian team. I just started and joined the team myself, but our team only has about 7 active CPUs in the last 50 days. It would be great if more people could contribute as part of the Debian community. Here's a link to the team info: https://statsclassic.foldingathome.org/team/2019 For installation, you can download the Debian package from the website: https://foldingathome.org/start-folding/. There is also a Docker image and a vSphere Appliance available. Thanks, Alexis Alexis, I am currently running Fedora 31. Can I participate? Regards -- Bob Crochelt MD, PhD, FACS Ukiah, CA |
