Below is a PDF document outlining information about where to find online COVID-19 status updates from government and educational sources. It is in the format of a one page document that you are able to download and save, or download and print so that it can be referenced at any time.
Finding a cure for COVID-19 requires enormous computing power. Too much for any single computer. That’s why TechServeTO is providing a computer to team up with Folding@home to expand their global “supercomputer,” which consists of thousands of individual computers. We’d like you to join us.
Developed at Stanford University in October 2000, Folding@home is today one of the world’s largest computer networks dedicated to finding cures for various diseases, from cancer to COVID-19. It brings together everyday people like you who volunteer to run simulations of protein dynamics on their personal computers. This data then helps scientists to develop cures.
TechServeTO has also dedicated part of our infrastructure to help bolster the project. All together, Folding@home has surpassed 1.5 exaflops of computing power, making it the largest supercomputer in the world. But we still need your help.
Simply install and run Folding@home’s software. You’ll be lending your computer’s muscle to a global network dedicated to curing COVID-19. The data created by your computer will be sent back to Folding@home to analyze and add to the pool. The more computers we have, the faster we can beat this disease.
