Gridcoin and the GPUgrid project. Volunteer computation for building protein models.
Proteins build up every living organism and in order to prevent protein breakup and other anomalies, medicine have to understand them entirely and find out what causes their anomalies. Of course, building these models needs a lot of computation power and many endless GPU related simulations. Of course, you can take part of these too!
Finding new medicines requires knowing the process of breaking up proteins, and of course their behavior in different occasions. These scientific models are very complicated, so Gridcoin encourages volunteer computing by rewarding the volunteers with some coins. Do you want to be a part of building these complex models?
The scientific team has a lot of GPU power in their laboratories, but also are in favor of the BOINC's GPUgrid.net distributed computing environment. All the instructions for participating in this project can be found on the website of GPUgrid (https://www.gpugrid.net).
Of course, your free resources of the device or the computer won't harm overall performance, because the software automatically detects the resources, which are not used or needed for the current CPU and GPU usage and if the processes of the main usage are excessive, the work for the project is automatically suspended.
Some of the main topics, covered by the GPUgrid modelling are aimed at helping
- Cancer
- HIV/AIDS
- Neural disorders
And there are much more!
We are in an age of scientific progress, and computers can help a lot. It's up to you to decide whether or not will you share your device's unused resources.
Of course the main advantage of decision to help the project is receiving some rewarding coins. Gridcoin kindly helps all these projects and its network makes sure the "miners" will stay happy.
Of course, when you have some coins, you will be happy to stack them, because Gridcoin is a POS currency. Keep your coins, and watch them grow. Currently the Gridcoin is priced about $0,065 on the markets. Of course it will rise a lot in price (imho), so it's better a wiser idea to hold your coins.

So think over your crypto investments and your medicine and science-aimed computer resource volunteering. You definitely won't regret it, and will at least know where to all of this GPU usage is going.

Just joined Rosetta@home project. Looks great so far.
I like helping the World be a better place for all!
