M644: The Grid in Splash Fall 2012 (Nov. 04, 2012)
Did you know that your computer could be helping to cure diseases, searching space for extraterrestrial life, and crunching prime numbers when you're not using it? The Berkley Infrastructure for Network Computing (BOINC) created a network based on grid computing that allows organizations to crowd-source their computer processing and aggregate TONS of useful data. This class looks at (very basically!) how this works and explores specifically a medical research project called Rosetta@home that is using BOINC to collect and analyze data on proteins. This data can be used to develop cures for diseases like Cancer, Malaria, HIV, and Alzheimers.
