I work at an open science NGO that has been approached by a developer who is interested in making a public portal !boinc@sopuli.xyz BOINC project. The basic idea is that scientific researchers could submit workunits for a number of popular science apps (molecular modeling etc) to be distributed and crunched by volunteers using BOINC. Essentially, a way for them to harness the petaflops of free processing power offered by the BOINC network without having to run their own BOINC server.
In order to make the proof-of-concept, we are looking for an science app which:
Bonus points for:
Any suggestions?
If you would be interested in helping with development for this project (Python/React, Remix (Vercel or Netlify)) let us know too
The Computation Moonshot is a competition for high schools which encourages students to learn about data science, computer science, distributed computing, and a wide array of fields in science by having them contribute to real, useful outcomes for researchers in an exciting competitive atmosphere. We utilize the Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing !boinc@sopuli.xyz to connect students to groundbreaking scientific research projects around the world. This year we are running on the World Community Grid project which studies, among other topics: climate science, genetics, cancer, and tuberculosis. We call processing data for these research projects “crunching”.
Our goal in 2024 is to reach 50,000 donated hours of computation to research.
The competition is free to all and requires no special knowledge or skills. We provide setup guides for teachers and students, along with educational resources on the research to which your computers are contributing.
Compete for over $6,000 in prizes for schools and students, all while doing science!
More information on the competition, including how to register your high school, can be found at https://computationmoonshot.org/

We continue our work on characterizing lung cancer biomarkers identified in the MCM1 project. This update focuses on ADH6, a gene associated with smoking status and lung cancer prognosis.
