In spite of what I said this morning in my blog, I am glad to see a portion of this national resource going toward my personal preferred project.

BTW, according to boincstats, there are 77,159 active hosts running on Rosetta as of today. If we assume these average just 8 hours of a single CPU to Rosetta per day, that is over 200 million CPU hours per year. Dwarfing the federal award.

BakerLab has so many things going on. They run protein models for other research organizations for free under a program they call Robetta (note the "b" as in robot). I suspect the awarded CPU hours will be used to help process this work.

CONGRATULATIONS!!! I don't see where they tell you HOW to use the 50 million hours, that is a good thing, a pure grant of time on a Super Computer!!!

I can't get my mind around the technical aspects of this machine, but Blue Gene has something like 48 or some odd processors per node board? And how many node boards per rack? 50 billion process hours are going to go quick. But the computational speed of these boards is just amazing! Makes all our systems look like snails! lol
