Background

OpenPandemics - COVID-19 was created to help accelerate the search for COVID-19 treatments. You can learn more about the details of the work on the research team's website.

GPU version of OpenPandemics

Both the research team and World Community Grid tech team are continuing to make progress on porting the software that powers OpenPandemics to GPU.

The researchers are working on performance improvements for an OpenCL version. Meanwhile, World Community Grid has submitted the code for IBM's Open Source review and a security review. We don't currently know exactly when the IBM reviews will be done.

AutoDock Suite at 30

The research team recently published a paper on the history of AutoDock, which is the software that powers OpenPandemics, FightAIDS@Home, and other projects that have searched for potential treatments against various diseases. You can read the paper here.
