Folding @ Home is an initiative that has been around for many years, and that includes a computer loan of our graphics cards (any small supplement it adds) to analyze proteins related to various diseases such as cancer, Alzheimer's either Parkinson & # 39; s. Now the project has been added Coronavirus and, in fact, provide you with the most important part of the project to try to find a solution as quickly as possible.
NVIDIA invites all users
As we mentioned, the Folding @ Home project uses the unused potential of our NVIDIA graphics cards to measure and analyze related proteins, in this case, with COVID-19 to help researchers find a solution.
NVIDIA has invited all users to participate.
PC Gamers, let's use those GPUs.
Join us with our friends at @OfficialPCMR in support of home @ wrapping and supplying unused GPU computing power against COVID-19!

In fact, they have been calling on other products such as SteelsSeries, Razer or NZXT, but also to their "enemies," AMD and Intel.

And this request is not going to look good, because in the Folding @ Home project they already have many plans to fight Coronavirus, but have announced that they are close to being able to help and use it AMD or Intel processors.
You too can help to find a solution
Anyone can help with this task, even though they are obviously themselves users with a gaming PC and especially with NVIDIA graphics, which is a great contribution, because the system that captures the power of graphics comes from the GPU to perform the necessary calculations for analyzing the most beneficial proteins in the CUDA cores of the NVIDIA graphic.
In any case, below will show you how to make your own engagement in your home:
The first thing you should do is to access the project website and download the software. Once you install it, it will tell you if you want to start anonymously or sign up. That depends on you and how much you want to work with.
If you want you can choose a name and select "group" "PC Master Race – PCMR" with number 225605 Although not important, the important thing to know is that right now, in the drop-down area when choosing which disease you want to work with, check "Any disease", because Coronavirus does not yet have a specific one.
This software is web-managed, and will allow us to choose how much we want to operate under the POWER part, and whether we want it to run all the time or only if we don't use the PC on the WH part.
Note: even if you close the browser, the program will continue to run in the background, and if you want to disable it you will need to uninstall it.
So, you know that. If you want to collaborate on Coronavirus treatment, you can now do it with your home PC with ease.
