This project may be "trasversal" to all simulations/projects?? All simulation will have advancements?

Great!! Thank yourafwiewiora wrote:Will do for sure, should get to first trials of this in Oct, Nov maybe we'll have something on BETA.
I don't think I understand. You mean there is a surplus of computation being done relative to the ability to sort/make sense of the data? Similar to how the planet is warming because there is more CO2 being produced than the plantlife can absorb.rafwiewiora wrote:I have been wondering about that a bit indeed - no good answers until we see how this works in practice though. The crucial thing here is that we're not only increasing the computational power this way, but (in fact this is the more important motivation for me) we also will drastically lower the amount of data we have to collect to answer the same questions. The computational power already is far beyond our still not automated (we're pushing on that front too) data analysis speed and it's a bottleneck. So my hope is that a single researcher will be able to also address an order of magnitude (say a protein family vs. a single protein) more scientific questions and the computational power will be fully used. Will know more after first experiments!
Not at all, insofar as I can see. It is just research. If it were production, it would be done in-house by a pharmaceutical company for proprietary reasons.tcaud wrote:I'm a bit surprised. It sounds like the researchers are doing this almost haphazard,
Not at all. The calculations required to model ever possible state of even a single protein and identify how it can mis-fold would take more that a lifetime. The key words in the paper mentioned above are "modeling of most biologically relevant systems and timescales [are} intractable."tcaud wrote:I'm a bit surprised.
