چکیده
Recently, a new computing paradigm has emerged: a worldwide distributed computing environment consisting of thousands or even millions of heterogeneous processors, frequently volunteered by private citizens across the globe (1). This large number of processors dwarfs even the largest modern supercomputers. In addition to the scientific possibilities suggested by such enormous computing resources, the involvement of hundreds of thousands of nonscientists in research opens the door to new means of science education and outreach, in which the public becomes an active participant.

متن کاملParallelized-over-parts computation of absolute binding free energy with docking and molecular dynamics.
We present a technique for biomolecular free energy calculations that exploits highly parallelized sampling to significantly reduce the time to results. The technique combines free energies for multiple, nonoverlapping configurational macrostates and is naturally suited to distributed computing. We describe a methodology that uses this technique with docking, molecular dynamics, and free energy...
