Distributed computer project: Rosetta@home
When:
You may start working on this project at any time on your own if you choose to download it and start crunching.
I had to give it an actual date for Meetup to take it.
Where:
Your cellular phone, tablet, laptop or desktop computer.
What time:
Anytime.
Costs:
Free to download / the software will need some electricity use from your computer and a wi-fi connection.
Details:
For those that do not know, I have been doing distributed computer projects for Nasa, Cern, Seti, National weather service & biology through "BOINC" for over 18 years with 54 threads & 5 GPU units running in my basement full time 24/7 , 365.
This project is on the "BOINC" platform and like the other programs you can download and work on from BOINC, it uses your idle computers ability to crunch data and reports back to the host.
I am attaching the links to BOINC, the platforms main page where you can download the various programs from as well the link for ROSETTA so you do not have to search for it if you care to go directly to their site to read about what they are doing.
Rosetta is a Biology and Medicine research project out of the University of Washington.
They crunched data during the Covid outbreak to help with research.

BOINC LINK TO ROSETTA@HOME, A BOINC PLATFORM CRUNCHING DATA FOR COVID-19: Rosetta@home
You must first go to BOINC and download the platform and then pick a project to run, sign up for that project, download the software from the site and you can start crunching data for 1 ,2 , 3 or more projects.
There are settings that you can allow a program to run all the time, some of the time or between such and such hours.
You can also control how much use of your GPU / CPU and RAM the program uses so you do not feel bogged down.
IF YOU HAVE 'ANY' QUESTIONS, PLEASE ASK, I WILL BE HAPPY TO HELP YOU AS BEST I CAN AND IF I AM NOT ABLE TO, I KNOW THERE ARE A LOT OF HELPFUL POSTS IN THE 'HELP' SECTION ON THE PAGES.
