Dear friends.
----------------------------------------I regret, that it takes quite a long time to portate projects (most important: COVID project) to GPU. Although unfortunately, I am not able to code myself, I think that there certainly are a lot of similarities between the code used for portation of Microbione Project to GPU and for example the portation of Fight Aids at home to GPU. What if the code necessary for portation to GPU was published here in a new forum named "programme code necessary for portation of WCG projects"? Maybe programmes could re-use, "recycle" code lines, and portation of future projects to GPU would be accelerated? Thanks for the consideration of this proposal. All the best MS [Edit 1 times, last edit by Martin Schnellinger at Jun 23, 2020 3:37:20 AM] |

Hi Martin,
----------------------------------------This thread is interesting in the OpenPandemics - COVID19 forum here at WCG: Mandatory "Request for Project to be Ported to GPU" Thread There is already work being done to have AutoDock run on GPU. The code is open source and published on Scripps GitHub. You can follow announcements from the Forli Lab on Twitter: https://twitter.com/ForliLab/status/1261194223811887109 Since OpenPandemics-COVID19 and FightAIDS@Home Phase 1 use AutoDock and are hosted by Scripps Research, this could benefit both of those projects. As for GPU for Microbiome Immunity Project, that is protein folding and uses the Rosetta application developed by The Baker Lab at University of Washington. I do not know of any progress for any other WCG subprojects to run on GPU. WCG already has a GPU Support Forum, but I believe you are looking for a place to house code? Something like GitHub is one of the most popular places for that, and Git is widely used by programmers to keep track of changes to code. I share your intent though and wish we had more GPU projects so we can help find cures faster.

Thank you for making this clear and structured post with all the good links.
In my view, it is the developpers to decide and to choose their development environment. I whish, however, that they would consider adding a comment to their code, which indicates that this code might be useful not only for the portation of one single project to GPU but several. An extesively explained and documented code can be of dubble or multiple value..... I regret that I cannot code...... All the best, thanks for crunching and commenting in forums. MS |

The thread
https://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/forums/wcg/viewthread_thread,42470 will hopefully help not only the Open Pandemics Project, but all existing and especially future distibuted computing projects so I post it here in this forum, too, and ask for diskussion. Thank you, fellow cruchers. Greetings MS |
