Distributed computing

Off topic for the blog but on topic for the current climate.  For those of you writing up your thesis and other academic work then why not consider using your spare computing power to look for the achilles heel of COVID-19?

I’ve signed up to folding@home – a distributed computing model that utilises spare CPU and GPU power , why not give it a go?  All you old bitcoin miners out there dig out the rigs and put them to use again!!folding

    Funny you should mention this, Atkins just sent an email telling everybody not to run it on work laptops, but encouraged its use on personal computers. Slightly mixed messaging, but nothing I haven’t come to expect.
