I am not as wealthy as most people on these Grids. I dont blindly donate a Broadband Internet connection and a very powerful computer running 24/7 without first understanding what I am giving to.
You can do that very easily by doing something the Internet was orginally created for. That is checking links and various websites that have been handed out in abundance in these forums. Your Due Diligence will find that surveying the entire Human Genome using Rosseta is a Grand Scale Computation that is impossible for the reaserch institions to accomplish in house. Remember these were the same people in conjuction with about 30 other institions who were able to sequence the Human Genome in the first place. This effort took 13 years. I belive with a Grid in excess of several million devices you could finish the Genome preditions in one year. But with the current level of participation this will end up being an ongoing effort. |
