questions about maping cancer markers.

First of all sorry for my bad english. sad

But i have a couple of questions

What i'm curious about is. How big is this project? Do we have numbers?

Is there a possiblity that we can see how much of this project is already completed just like by the HIV/AIDS projects.

How much time would it take if you have to do the whole project it at 1 machine?

If we know this than we can promoted it better by our family and friends and get more support!

Have a nice day !

Re: questions about maping cancer markers.

First of all sorry for my bad english. sad

But i have a couple of questions

1) What i'm curious about is. How big is this project? Do we have numbers? - Techs do not know the batch count total, but estimate it to take several years to complete [HCC1 of same team took ~5.6 years]. It finished several years faster because the GPU implementation accelerated the project by a factor > 10. Actually the average GPU task did a task 18x faster than a CPU. The hope is a MCM GPGPU version will be developed in the future.

2) Is there a possibility that we can see how much of this project is already completed just like by the HIV/AIDS projects. - Something was promised by WCG in terms of progress tracking, but how to do that if work volume is unknown [very big]?

3) How much time would it take if you have to do the whole project it at 1 machine? - Same as 1/2 cannot be computed, but since we did last night 152 CPU years equivalent, that's 1 quad core running 24/7 for the next 38 years or so. If we stay doing 152 Years every day for the next 2 years, that would be 28 thousand years on 1 quad.

4) If we know this than we can promoted it better by our family and friends and get more support! - No project is started without some end in view. Even if it takes 5 years, then this reference database will leap diagnostic capability forward [wanna help?]. Been crunching 9 years now. No plan to stop in the next 9 either. Crunching is for the long haul, slow, methodical and tedious, but that's how science has always worked. Maybe after mapping for the next 6-12 months, some mass data insight will speed things up [scientist learn from the output as we compute on]. Several projects completed much faster, one by some smart programming insight finished in 6 months instead of 2 years.

Have a nice day !

Interesting. I remember only one project with GPU. One wish more for GPU from my side. love struck

Re: questions about maping cancer markers.

I know another university (stanford) in USA who use the bennefits of GPU. I have quiet crunching for them because them most projects were not cancer related and impossible to select for. Thats why i support you guys. But is it possible that you meet with each other and they can explain how they did the crunching with GPU! because if we can use it ! that will bennefit the research to the markers!

Its only a sugestion?

Re: questions about maping cancer markers.

Hi vinbeer.

The Help Conquer Cancer project which ran until April 2013 was GPU enabled for for a while. But not all projects are suitable for GPU computations. MCM1 was only launched a few weeks ago and, thus, it's too early to say if it will be GPU enabled.
