Has this project obtain any scientific achievment?

Hello:)
Your question echoes what is in my mind lately. I have been searching all reports concerning the projects we are crunching. I could not find anything that points to meaningful result that relateas to disease cure or leading to it. The aim of the project is very appealing because it relates to cure for human diseases.
Right now I am thinking of SETI which has been going on for many years and it has not find what it is looking for. Correct me if I am wrong. So I am thinking that it may take many years, 10, 20 or more before Rosetta find a cure for any human diseases.
I am doing this volunteer distribted computing as part of my computer hobby. I will stop it when I give away all my 5 quad computers to my grand children.
Have patience, with luck, our project may yield great results. The key is that you are enjoying the volunteer work.

I turned off my 5computers when I went on vacation. When I return today, I can not upload work. Need work units to run computers.

Yes and no.

Yes, in that it will probably be a long time before you can put data straight into the Rosetta algorithm and come back with a perfect answer to cure the disease you are targeting.

No, in that Rosetta is used right now by researchers to help understand proteins and take the first steps in finding cures to diseases. One public project that makes use of the Rosetta software is the Human Proteome Folding project at World Community Grid.

Part of the problem in your search for distributed computing research is that Scientists STILL don't think it is 'cool' to say 'well I got help from 50,000 other people thru DC' when they write their papers. DC has been written up in a few papers but they are very few among the many, MANY that are written. Also Scientists in big Universities don't like to acknowledge the facts about DC and what it can do to help, or even care to know if it can help them. My son does research, in Chemistry, on his way to his PHD in the US and his Professor will not even discuss the subject. He says their research is 'too specific and would not be helped by a bunch of computers'.

And don't take Boinc off the computers when the grandkids get them, make them a part of Boinc!

I agree with you. I am also volunteering one of my computers to run projects with World Community Grid. I like the way they report back projects. RH and WCG are the 2 researchers I like very much. Because of my dc with RH, I am receiving HHMI Magazine on scientist researchers. If you don't receive this yet, check it out. You can request it for free.
