Abasebenzisi bekhompyuter abaqhelekileyo kunye neenkampani ezininzi kwihlabathi liphela baye bamanyana ebusweni besoyikiso esibangelwe kukusasazeka kwecoronavirus, kwaye kule nyanga ikhoyo yenze eyona nethiwekhi isasazwa kakhulu yekhompyuter kwimbali.
Enkosi kwiprojekthi yekhompyuter esasazwe kwiFolding@Home, nabani na ngoku angasebenzisa amandla ekhompyuter ekhompyuter yakhe, iseva okanye enye inkqubo ukuphanda nge-coronavirus ye-SARS-CoV-2 kwaye aphuhlise amayeza ngokuchasene nayo. Kwaye kwakukho abantu abaninzi abanjalo, enkosi apho amandla apheleleyo ekhompyutheni yothungelwano namhlanje adlula i-1,5 exaflops. Le yi-quintillion enye enesiqingatha okanye i-1,5 Γ 1018 imisebenzi ngomzuzwana.
Ukuqonda ngcono isikali, ukusebenza kwenethiwekhi ye-Folding@Home ngumyalelo wobukhulu obuphezulu kunokusebenza kweyona supercomputer inamandla namhlanje-i-IBM Summit, ekwanamandla amakhulu e-148,6 petaflops. Nokuba intsebenzo iyonke yazo zonke ii-500 zee-supercomputers ezinamandla kakhulu kwihlabathi, ngokwe-TOP-500, yi-1,65 exaflops, ngoko ke inethiwekhi yeFolding @ Ekhaya inethuba elihle lokuzidlula zonke zidibene.
Inani leenkqubo ezibandakanyekayo kwi-Folding@Home lihlala litshintsha, njengoko kunjalo nokusebenza. Ukufezekisa i-1,5 exaflops yothungelwano olusasazwayo kwaqinisekiswa nge-4,63 yezigidi ze-processor cores kunye ne-430 yewaka le-AMD kunye ne-NVIDIA ye-graphics processors. Ubukhulu becala, ezi ziinkqubo zeWindows, nangona inxalenye enkulu ikwayinkqubo yeLinux, kodwa iikhompyuter ezikwiMacOS zinokusebenzisa kuphela i-CPU, ngoko ke igalelo labo alibalulekanga kangako.
Ekugqibeleni, sikwaqaphela ukuba ii-supercomputers ezininzi ngoku zizinikele kumlo ochasene ne-coronavirus. I-IBM, umzekelo, yakhawuleza yaseka i-COVID-19 High Performance Computing Consortium, edibanisa ii-supercomputers ezinkulu ezivela kumaziko ophando aseMelika kunye neenkampani zobugcisa ukulwa lo bhubhani. Ukusebenza okudityanisiweyo kwee-supercomputers ezithatha inxaxheba kwi-IBM COVID-19 HPC consortium ngama-330 eepetaflops, ekwaninzi kakhulu.
