Posted December 19, 2014 Folding for android For the first time, anyone with access to an Android-based mobile device can help scientists perform the critical research that is needed to find a cure for the ebola epedemic,The Project is courtesy of IBM & Scripps Research Institute & is being called "Outsmart Ebola Together" The software used for screenings in the Outsmart Ebola Together project is called AutoDock and AutoDock VINA, developed by the Olson laboratory at TSRI. The app will put their devices to work when the machines would otherwise be idle. With their collective processing power, the computers will form a virtual supercomputer to help The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) screen millions of chemical compounds to identify new drug leads for treating Ebola. IBM's World Community Grid has successfully run other projects that search for drug candidates for both high and low-profile diseases such as AIDS, cancer, malaria, Dengue fever, and influenza. It has enabled multiple breakthroughs, such as helping the Chiba Cancer Center in Japan discover seven new drug candidates to fight childhood neuroblastoma. The project basis is not a new terminology for us, the basic overall procedure is the same as Folding @ Home, except this would be the first time it's been introduced on to a low power processor such as a mobile device, when you're not using your gadget, the grid will tap its CPU to solve a small piece of the chemical puzzle. With enough volunteers, it could potentially saving the team decades of time in developing a cure This citizen science effort is possible through a partnership with IBM's World Community Grid, which has been making similar data-driven health and sustainability initiatives possible for 10 years as a free, philanthropic service to the science community. As of now anyone can download a safe and free app that will put their devices to work when the machines would otherwise be idle. With their collective processing power, the computers will form a virtual supercomputer to help The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) screen millions of chemical compounds to identify new drug leads for treating Ebola. Meanwhile, the devices will remain fully available for normal use by their owners. Volunteer computing project announced today is being run by the Ollmann Saphire laboratory at TSRI, which has mapped the structures and vulnerabilities of the proteins comprising the Ebola virus. The Scripps Research Institute(TSRI)also invites members of the public to support Dr. Saphire’s crowdfunding campaign at www.crowdrise.com/CUREEBOLA to secure resources needed to analyze the enormous volume of data generated by Outsmart Ebola Together. Crowdsourcing this citizen science effort will dramatically accelerate the process of identifying a cure. if you register your tablet, smartphone or computer, the system will add you to the list of 680,000 volunteers and nearly 3 million devices. a sensational news , Do post your thoughts & comments down below.. & to get started you need to register at this: http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/ give proper details later download the App (for mobile/tablet & PC) Then carry on with application install & the rest will be done by the app in th background Original Link: http://www-03.ibm.com/press/us/en/pressrelease/45594.wss Other links: www.crowdrise.com/CUREEBOLA http://www.scripps.edu/ http://www.citizenibm.com/ http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/ News Link: http://www.engadget.com/2014/12/19/ebola-scripps-ibm-world-community-grid/ Details separate people.

Posted December 19, 2014 Wow! I'd love to do tha... wait, iphone. Folding @ Home for the masses is a good idea, but only if you can choose when to do it. I wouldn't want to be on 20% battery and trying to get through an entire day with it Folding when i'm not using it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted December 19, 2014 As someone with a phone powered by the god awful Tegra 3 processor, it is either 1.5GHz all the time on all the cores or overheat and nearly combusting. I kid though. Our Grace. The Feathered One. He shows us the way. His bob is majestic and shows us the path. Follow unto his guidance and His example. He knows the one true path. Our Saviour. Our Grace. Our Father Birb has taught us with His humble heart and gentle wing the way of the bob. Let us show Him our reverence and follow in His example. The True Path of the Feathered One. ~ Dimboble-dubabob III Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted December 19, 2014 WTF? They manage to create app smart enough to beat ebola. Why do not they create something usefull app that can be sold on google play, play store and for that money buy Titan Z. Wich alone will blow out of the water like 1000-1500 samsung NOTE IV with it's computing power when that smartphone is in idle state! OR use fucking supercomputer that can calculate anything. something like this http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/269070-the-world%E2%80%99s-most-powerful-computer-3120000-cores/ Fuck logic!

Posted December 19, 2014 Is there one pc with windows millenium on it doing the reaearch or what the actual fuck ?! Warning, rant: I call BS on this. If there was any intention to cure that shit the whole world would focus on it. There would be no point inmaking this app in the furst place. Someone should make a virus that doesnt spread and inject every single high priority person in every government in big countries. The whole "finding the cure" would happen so much faster if them greedy pigs cared about some ebola.... Sorry for going on the rant on my own.

Posted December 19, 2014 The project basis is not a new terminology for us, the basic overall procedure is the same as Folding @ Home, except this would be the first time it's been introduced on to a low power processor such as a mobile device, Both HTC and Samsung have apps that let you fold on your phone. Anyway it's for a good cause so I don't see any reason to be mad at them like some other people in this thread. They are kind of working backwards though if they haven't already released a desktop program. But smartphones are better than nothing, right?

Posted December 21, 2014 You wake up and unplug your phone from the charger, when you arrive at work you have 50% left. Using processing power when Idle is not a good idea.

Who would pay for that app? They were hoping the idea takes off like F@H and get exponential computing power compared to just using a single workstation. --- This would only work if the app did its computations when the phone's charging, otherwise the battery's just going to drain.
