The Global PC Grid is fighting cancer
With the help of the global PC grid Canadian researchers have been able to squeeze decades of cancer research in about 2 years.
The research team thanks the IBM World Community Grid of PCs and laptops that makes up one of the world’s five biggest supercomputers. With this supercomputer the researchers say that they were able to the data would have taken 162 years t0 analyze. The data is part of a study that focuses on proteins that could lead to cancer fighting drugs.
