OpenPandemics - COVID-19: February update
Preliminary validation of WCG results are very promising.
Project: OpenPandemics - COVID-19
Published on: 5 Feb 2022
Background
OpenPandemics - COVID-19 was created to help accelerate the search for new candidates for the design of COVID-19 antiviral drugs. The project goal is to identify small molecules that bind to SARS-CoV-2 proteins by means of computational simulation. The most promising molecules are selected to be tested in laboratories of the collaborators of the OPN1 team. Molecules with confirmed experimental activity will constitute the starting point for the development of potential drugs.
Currently, there are two small molecules that have been tested in humans for treating COVID-19 showing good results: molupiravir and ritonavir. The insurgence of drug resistance to existent antivirals, as it has been happening with HIV, can be addressed with multiple, diverse antivirals. For that, the availability of multiple alternatives for the design of different antivirals will be crucial for overcoming resistance and address the challenges that new SARS-CoV2 variants may present.
Preliminary results are exciting
As you know from previous updates, the data volunteers have provided the OPN1 team with have led to the purchase and testing of just over 350 molecules against 3 distinct protein targets. And the results they’re getting from collaborating labs have been fantastic, the team has about half a dozen tentatively active compounds against each target they’ve pursued.
Once validated, these tentative positive results decrease the OPN1 team demand for computational resources (at least in the short term) but increase the wet lab work. Again, these results have to be validated, and additional characterization is required. However, as this followup work is completed the cycle will wrap back around: the design of future simulations will be optimized by leveraging the information gathered so far to hone in on what works and expand the set of active molecules.
The goals are to improve other properties, explore the diversity of the chemical space with activity, and characterize the important interactions more completely.

Dear 1695814,
WCG Data Transfer Underway, Stress Test of New Infrastructure Scheduled For Feb 28th
Feb 9, 2022 - We have started to transfer data for all active WCG projects to the Krembil Research Institute. We are gearing up to start testing the whole system on February 28, 2022.Thank you for your support,
The World Community Grid Team
I still have some WCG projects running, but good thing I also have folding @ home installed, so that I can keep kicking COVID’s :donkey: hee haw!

no idea what this thread is about. Are you guys mining bitcoins with your laptops
It’s about the OP.
No. No, we are not.
what are you doing with idle laptops?
Mining bitcoins for other people. They just tell us they are using them to find a cure for diseases.

I’m gonna add a temp project while WCG is being tested.
ETA: Holy 
!!! I have a Mapping Cancer Markers that’s only 25% done after 18 hours!!! WTH???

My personal laptop finished all its tasks this morning; the work laptop has about 1-2 days worth of tasks. Still gonna run Folding@Home while WCG gets transferred.

The main desktop has this for processor and GPU.
Processor AMD Ryzen 7 2700X Eight-Core Processor, 4000 Mhz, 8 Core(s), 16 Logical Processor(s)
Name NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070
But there’s another desktop and a laptop that chip in some too. I had my son’s machine on it while he was out of town for a weekend, and it’s a real workhorse.

Well that certainly changes the question from "can I afford a ryzen 9 processor’ to ‘can I afford not to have a ryzen 9 processor’.
I find it curious how a current mid-range desktop cpu can blow an older high end server cpu right out of the water.
Iv’e got a server sitting idle in the data center, I think maybe next month if my dev has some free time I should get it running on there. Plus I’ve got a spare desktop in my office should get cracking on that. Just waiting for a new cpu fan because the current one is just loud enough that I don’t want it running. And I’ve got a cold-spare server (well, actually I’ve got two) sitting in my office. Not sure how I could get those running, they’re not really something I can run at home because loud, and I’m out of rackspace in the data center. Will need to consider more.

I tried adding Rosetta@Home to my WCG, but it’s conflicting huge with Folding@Home. Gonna detach the Rosetta@Home once the current units finish.
