    What is BOINC
    The Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing (BOINC) is an open-source grid computing infrastructure which provides open access to a global volunteer-based distributed computing network. To date, BOINC has been the driving force behind numerous computationally intensive research programs, such as pulsar identification, the creation of patient specific cancer treatments, the simulation of candidate molecules for next-generation solar panels, along with many others. While BOINC has been used primarily for science and mathematics, it can host data from any open or commercial field so long as the data can be formatted for BOINC’s processes. Examples of projects include tasks on engineering, cryptography, rendering, weather and climate prediction, as well as social, market, and resource analytics. Enigma@home, for example, worked to break remaining WWII messages encrypted by an Enigma machine.

    What is Gridcoin?
    Gridcoin is a multi-incentive permissionless blockchain initiated in 2013. It mints and distributes cryptocurrency in relation to the processing power a network participant directs toward data-driven analysis and scientific discovery, as well as through a proof-of-stake reward mechanism. The Gridcoin blockchain monitors processing contributions to the Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Networked Computing (BOINC). BOINC hosts major institutional computing projects such as IBM’s World Community Grid, SETI, and CERN, alongside projects developed by students, enthusiasts, mathematicians, researchers, and citizen scientists. Access to Gridcoin's computation resources is free, while computation contributors are incentivized with cryptocurrency minted by the Gridcoin protocol.

    In this episode we answer the questions:
    What would happen if everyone could choose from a market of societal incentive structures and economic systems?
    What would happen if economic systems were built and managed via an open-source organizational model?
    What would happen if the value of economic variables were rules-based?
    What would happen if the transition out of a failing or unpopular economic system was not only possible, but seamless?
    What would happen if anyone could start their own economic system at any time with a few lines of code?

    What does GPUGRID do?
     
     
    GPUGRID is a project that runs molecular dynamics (MD) simulations for scientists in the fields of cancer, HIV/AIDS, neurological disorders and general scientific and lab simulations.
    GPUGRID does things a little similar to Rosetta@home but where Rosetta focuses on mainly folding and proteins, GPUGRID does all sorts of things from docking, to folding to just "what happens if this happens" types of experiments with not only proteins but also smaller molecules. To learn more about how proteins work, check out my other Project Brief on Rosetta.
    What is MD?
     
     
    Molecular dynamics is the physics of molecules and atoms and how they interact at the tiny scales where they live. The animation above is a little bit fast but it shows how one big molecule interacts in a sea of smaller water or gas molecules.
    It is a little hectic, and that's how it is in reality (just we can't really see it). All that jiggling around is what we call heat, the hotter it is, the more it jiggles and the more chance it has to separate a material (for example, turning water into steam).
    This jiggling is important to incorporate into simulations like folding or docking, because that way, the possible drug or cure that is being tested is in the most realistic situation it can be.
    Why GPUs and not CPUs?
     
     
    For those of you that don't know, CPUs are what makes your computer run, it does the maths, it manages your memory and files and all the general stuff. CPUs usually only need a couple of hands (cores) to do a bunch of complex things because usually you will only be doing a couple things at a time on the computer.
     
     
    The GPU is usually an extra card or component within the computer that puts stuff on the screen. Now the key thing about this is that to put stuff on the screen, you can have lots and lots of little hands (cores) doing very simple things to bring one big thing together in the end (ie, the picture on the screen)
    This fact is why GPUGRID only uses GPUs, because they are really really good at lots and lots of really small calculations. Much like lots and lots of molecules all bouncing around.

    What is BOINC? Pt 2
     
    What is BOINC?
    The Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing (BOINC) is an open-source grid computing infrastructure which provides open access to a global volunteer-based distributed computing network. To date, BOINC has been the driving force behind numerous computationally intensive research programs, such as pulsar identification, the creation of patient specific cancer treatments, the simulation of candidate molecules for next-generation solar panels, along with many others. While BOINC has been used primarily for science and mathematics, it can host data from any open or commercial field so long as the data can be formatted for BOINC’s processes. Examples of projects include tasks on engineering, cryptography, rendering, weather and climate prediction, as well as social, market, and resource analytics. Enigma@home, for example, worked to break remaining WWII messages encrypted by an Enigma machine.
