Saletelligence donates computing power for the Folding@home project

We at SALETELLIGENCE have decided to donate a part of our computing power, which we normally use for our analyses and statistical models, to the Folding@home project. This way we make an important contribution to the increase of scientific knowledge about COVID19 and other diseases (Alzheimer’s, cancer, Parkinson’s, etc.).

The Folding@home project uses the unused computing power of various computers worldwide to simulate protein folding. Existing scientific calculations and simulations are broken down into subtasks and then processed on different computers. The computing power generated in this way far surpasses the fastest supercomputers in the world:

With our
collective power, we are now at ~2.4 exaFLOPS (faster than the top 500
supercomputers combined)! We complement supercomputers like IBM Summit,
which runs short calculations using 1000s of GPUs at once, by spreading
longer calculations around the world in smaller chunks! pic.twitter.com/fdUaXOcdFJ

The SALETELLIGENC team has already completed more than 550 workunits for the project and is among the top 5% of over 250,000 teams worldwide. We would like to encourage you to participate in the project (also in our team) to find important answers to COVID19 and other diseases.
