What is Predictor@home?

lcl121

Predictor@home is a world-community experiment and effort to use distributed world-wide-web volunteer resources to assemble a supercomputer able to predict protein structure from protein sequence.Our work is aimed at testing and evaluating new algorithms and methods of protein structure prediction in the context of the Sixth Biannual CASP (Critical Assessment of Techniques for Protein Structure Prediction) experiment.The goal is to utilize these approaches together with the immense computer power that can be harnessed through the internet and volunteers all over the world (you!) to address critical biomedical questions of protein　-　related diseases.Predictor@home is a pilot project of the Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing (BOINC)

什么是Predictor@home？
Predictor@home是一个试验性项目，利用分布式志愿者的资源联合组成一台超级计算机，通过这样预测蛋白质分子排列的结构。在一年两次的第六次CASP（蛋白质结构预测评测技术）试验环境上，我们的工作目标是测试评估新的蛋白质结构预测算法。目标是利用这些方法加上超级计算能力，通过互联网和全球志愿者从事评定生物学关键问题中与蛋白质有关的疾病。Predictor@home是伯克利开放式网络计算平台中的一个试验项目。

Status
Predictor@home is in alpha-test phase. Please consider that we are still fixing minor (and sometimes major) problems and therefore some results might be deleted and some credits reset at any time.

状态
Predictor@home正处于初测阶段。请考虑清楚，当然我们会修改一些小错误（有时会大修），因此一些结果数据会删除，个人成绩会重新计算。
