I just emailed the higher-ups on ATS asking them to create an ATS team for the Human Proteome Folding Project on the recently established World
Community Grid. The World Community Grid is based on SETI@Home only it's projects deal with hugely important research where we can actually make a
big difference and will see the results. The current project is difficult to explain but you can find info on the official site:
www.worldcommunitygrid.org...
Or check out a recently posted ATSNN article about the World Community Grid:
www.atsnn.com...
Both the World Community Grid and Grid.org are working together on the Human Proteome Folding Project (though differ slightly), however Grid.org has
been around for 3 years and have 3 million CPU's already at their disposal, it's the recently constructed World Community Grid that needs our
support.
I would say this is more important then SETI@Home. If ATS was to create a team how many would be interested in switching from SETI?
