do you compute something @home?

[MassacreAL]

if not, and you want to help with some science project, look here http://boinc.berkeley.edu/ :thumbs: its sort of charity, but you give no money, only time of your processor.

ive been computing einstein@home for a year or so, but servers of this project has been down for two weeks, so im computing malariaControl now.

and how is it with you other guys?

[MassacreAL]

i have a little idea. what about to create GM team in some project? :)

really noone is interested in it? im surprised. i guess its unclear what is it about. ok, read this:


Simulation models of the transmission dynamics and health effects of malaria are an important tool for malaria control. They can be used to determine optimal strategies for delivering mosquito nets, chemotherapy, or new vaccines which are currently under development and testing.

Such modeling is extremely computer intensive, requiring simulations of large human populations with a diverse set of parameters related to biological and social factors that influence the distribution of the disease.

The Swiss Tropical Institute has developed a computer model for malaria epidemiology and harnessed its in-house PC capacity, about 40 machines, to do preliminary studies. But far more computing power is required to validate such models and to adequately simulate the full range of interventions and transmission patterns relevant for malaria control in Africa.

This is why MalariaControl.net has been created - to harness the volunteer computing power of thousands of people around the world, to help improve the ability of researchers to predict, and hence control, the spread of malaria in Africa.

Not in the slightest. I don't like the idea that they're tapping into my computer and using it. I realize that this isn't entirely different from installing any other piece of software on my machine, except that with this I know that they're actively using my machine.

I just don't care for the idea.

i had same feelings when my core 2 duo was brand new, i though "o please, it was for my money and they want to use it for free" but now its different. i dont want to see my c2d doing nothing and i know its for good thing. i compute einstein becouse i hope they will discover gravitional waves with it and i compute malariaConrol becouse i want to see africa getting better. it probably wont help much, but i have good feeling about it... somehow my mind has changed and i want to use my c2d as much as possible.

and thanx for answer i was really wondering why is noone responding(i always hate when i post a thread and noone responds for no obvious reason)
