What is it?

A volunteer distributed computing project

It is a novel distributed supercomputing infrastructure made of many PlayStation3 and NVIDIA graphics cards joined together to deliver high-performance all-atom biomolecular simulations. This project gives a new powerful computational tool to scientists and you are an important part of it.

Be part of it

If you enjoy science, you can participate by donating computing time to scientific research. Simply follow the instructions below to start, gain your credits for the results you return, join a team, meet and exchange experiences with other participants in the forums.

Want to know more?

Visit our Learn page and find out how PlayStation3 and NVIDIA graphics cards can help biomedical research.
And visit our Gallery to know more about what we do through our pictures and videos.

What do we do?

This particular example is the simulation of the interaction between two proteins. This kind of studies may lead to better understanding of the molecular processes of cell function, and hopefully serve as a tool for designing new drugs.
