Iphrojekthi yekhompuyutha esabalalisiwe i-Folding@Home, esebenzisa amandla ekhompuyutha amakhompiyutha abahlanganyeli ukutadisha i-coronavirus ye-SARS-CoV-2 futhi yakhe izidakamizwa ngokumelene nayo, ihehe amavolontiya angaphezu kuka-400. UGregory Bowman, inhloko ye-Folding@Home isinyathelo, ukhulume ngalokhu.
“Besinabasebenzisi ababalelwa ezinkulungwaneni ezingama-30 ngaphambi kobhubhane lwe-coronavirus. Kodwa emasontweni amabili edlule, amavolontiya angu-400 ajoyine i-Folding@Home,” kusho uMnu Bowman, eqinisekisa ukuthi iphrojekthi ibone ukwanda kwe-000% ekubambeni iqhaza esikhathini esifushane kangaka.
Ake sikukhumbuze ukuthi i-Folding@Home initiative iyinkundla yekhompyutha esabalalisiwe lapho amandla ekhompyutha abahlanganyeli bephrojekthi esetshenziswa khona ukwenza ucwaningo lwesayensi nolwezokwelapha. Ekupheleni kukaFebhuwari kulo nyaka, abamele i-Folding@Home bamemezele ukwakhiwa kwenethiwekhi yamakhompiyutha yomhlaba wonke ukuze kube lula ukuthuthukiswa kwemithi yokulwa ne-coronavirus. Ngokwemininingwane etholakalayo, amandla ekhompuyutha abahlanganyeli bephrojekthi okwamanje asetshenziselwa ukutadisha ukusebenza kwama-molecule amaprotheni abandakanyeka ekucindezelweni kwe-COVID-19 ngamasosha omzimba. Amandla ekhompyutha we-Folding@Home ake asetshenziswa ngaphambilini ocwaningweni lomdlavuza webele, isifo i-Alzheimer's, nezinye.
Esikhathini esingeside esidlule kumenyezelwe ukuthi umvukuzi omkhulu we-cryptocurrency we-American Ethereum u-CoreWave uqondise kabusha amandla ekhompuyutha angu-6000 wamakhadi ayo evidiyo ezidingweni ze-Folding@Home. Ngokwezinye izilinganiso, amakhadi ehluzo azinikezele akhiqize amandla e-computing ezingeni lika-0,2% yenani eliphelele le-hashrate yenethiwekhi ye-Ethereum. Emasontweni asanda kwedlula, abanye abavukuzi abakhulu be-cryptocurrency bajoyine iphrojekthi ye-Folding@Home, futhi umenzi we-graphic chip uNvidia walandela okufanayo ngoMashi 14, ecela abadlali begeyimu ukuthi babambe iqhaza esinyathelweni sokulwa ne-coronavirus.
