F@H to reach dev peoples for help in the fight?

Please confine these topics to things that would be of general interest to those who are interested in FAH which don't fall into any other category.

F@H to reach dev peoples for help in the fight?

Post by dominatorpc »

Hello FoldingAtHome!

I really like your idea and supporting you and sharing the info to friends and more.

I would like to suggest you something. Would it be possible for you to contact peoples which are very good at programming, biotech stuff to help you in the fight of the coronavirus and etc? That will be awesome and you will get faster solutions. I am sure that there will be a lot of those good skilled guys.

For example: George Hotz he is very skilled programmer and currently posting videos about the coronavirus bioinformatics and programming. You can check his github project for covid-19:

Both the CPU science and the GPU science code is Open Source, anyone can improve it who cares to.

Yes, but why dont F@H get to know with more very skilled programmers which will help them in their project. All will unite in one cause which i think is better and will be more quick in finding cure. Because we all are donating resources from our CPU's and GPU's. A unite from everyone will be very powerful at this moment.

Very few programmers will be skilled at molecular modeling via SIMD using massively parallel systems. Those who are, have heard of F@H. Those who aren't, will need months of training. Right now, I bet everyone is REALLY busy.
