New Distributed Computing Project On Scene For Cancer

"A new F@H-like project has been started in order to help cancer research"

I thought F@H was going after Cancer too, just like the many others....??

[WC Annihilus]

F@H deals with protein folding. Cels@Home deals with cell adhesion. Two different types of research that can affect the same thing. Probably didn't word things too well >.>

Be nice if we could just have something like Research@Home where all you do is install one application, have a tickbox for what causes you want to help, select the % of CPU idle cycles you want to assign to each one and then just leave it at that.

Cancer imo is one of the main killers and if it proves more productive than F@H - perhaps we could setup a team if not move to it?

mind u i doubt they have gpu client, ps3 etc.

Maybe with the popularity of these things, we could one day end up with a package that they could all agree on. Even Seti, F@H, C@H, and the other ones out there, where u could do exactly that. Have a ratio thing going on or a % assignment, and u could work on 1 or all of them with ur cpu/gpu cycles.

I`d prefer that tbh. Other wize we have people thinking which one is the only one I`ll adopt.

Ha god that would be nice.

You in dream land today though? As what you've said there is like in an ideal world. We never get stuff that simple!

Man... Tickboxes FTW!!

But back on the C@H... I think I would use that. I don't use F@H at the minute and was gonna dedicate some GPU time to it but if they can get GPU working on C@H that would be my preference I reckon.

[PP Mguire]

I say its all rubbish.

[Bungral]

Ya reckon there is some dude just sat somewhere sucking up everyones CPU power rendering images and transcoding / encoding files for his own use. Everyones leccy bills peaking just so a little scrote can get his porn on his in nanoseconds.

Im sticking with F@H, they have more companies backing them up and its from Stanford Uni.
