Re: Wuhan Corona Virus
This is AWESOME ... talk about quick response. Thank you Drs. Chodera and Bowman for getting our community in front of the Novel coronavirus (COVID-19) crisis!

Not yet, the announcement came a bit in advance, the projects are still being prepared.JonazzDJ wrote:Great news! Is there any way we can directly fold the Corona projects? Normally I'm all for general science, but this seems like an exception.

Re: Wuhan Corona Virus
Good news !
I do not think it will be possible to directly fold the WU dedicated to the coronavirus ...Maybe it will be possible to choose the type of cause via the V7 client ?

Re: Wuhan Corona Virus
The project is still in beta testing. ETA for full Folding@home is within a week according to Dr. Chodera .... it will utilize core22 GPU type work units on 7.4.1. Users will likely not be able to select COVID-19 projects specifically ... they will be distributed by priority under the "Any Disease" category. One thing I've noticed about this upcoming project - it has brought out many people to proclaim they ONLY want to fold if it's to help find a vaccine for the corona virus. The question in my mind arises - what's wrong with helping Cancer, Alzhemer's and ebola research concurrently? :-\

Re: Wuhan Corona Virus
Providing a special category for corona virus is probably OK for PR purposes, but I doubt will get it done any faster. FAH will put the highest priority on it anyway.wuffy68 wrote:One thing I've noticed about this upcoming project - it has brought out many people to proclaim they ONLY want to fold if it's to help find a vaccine for the corona virus.

But it might help attract more crunchers, which is probably why they would even consider offering a special category.

Re: Wuhan Corona Virus
Seti@home closes its doors, so maybe some may join foldingAgainstCorona@home
Both were announced on german most popular IT news website.

Just in the nick of time. It was announced on the BOINC forum too.foldy wrote:Seti@home closes its doors, so maybe some may join foldingAgainstCorona@home

If it will affect 60-70% of the population of every country with high amounts of travellers within the next 2 years, multiplied with the population of all major countries and a very optimistic death rate of 0.5% you might realize pretty fast this is a very pressing issue
The question arises why you would even imply that these people don't care about cancer?wuffy68 wrote:The question in my mind arises - what's wrong with helping Cancer, Alzhemer's and ebola research concurrently? :-\

It is very likely that it will become a new permanent disease until we have a vaccine. Nobody ever said they don't want to research cancer, big implication on your end.
Re: 2019-nCoV
Unfortunately, the options are hard-coded in the client and releasing a new client is a big deal for Development. The only real choice is "any" and the servers will set the priorities.

Frankly, not being able to focus cycles on coronavirus would dissuade me from running it. I'm very new here, and am posting a thread shortly with questions regarding corporate participation in this effort. Being able to focus on coronavirus is a must.
Re: 2019-nCoV
How does one choose "other"? I see choices of Any Disease, Alzheimer’s, Cancer, Huntington’s, and Parkinson’s. With those choices, is looks like you have to choose "Any Disease" to have any chance of working on 2019-nCoV.
Re: 2019-nCoV
"Any" is the setting that will give you the best chance for getting a nCoV work unit when they start showing up (afaik, there haven't been any yet). It's not impossible that you'd get one with the other settings, but the odds would be lower.
