Way to represent the community! Congratulations on your achievements overall, especially considering that WCG is so competitive.

Yup, sometimes getting tasks for some projects is hard, but hey, the important thing is that I support this project and their research. For me, it's the best project to participate and contribute 🙂

Congrats on another 20 years badge! I'm really happy to see you supporting WCG, which has arguably the best research in terms of wide applicability with a large impact.

Would not expect anything less from IBM...

I've been a WCG supported for years now. Definitely it's one of the projects I like to contribute, running it on all my machines.

You have some unusual machines though right? Server boxes?

2 Intel i7 CPUs, AMD Ryzen 7 1700, and a Dual Intel Xeon X5670 server. The rest are Android tablets and some Intel Atom boards.

I'd be super interested in what kind of performance you are seeing from your tablets, if you had the time to work it out and write something up. =)

I personally think that rosseta is more important, but they both come close. CSG is also quite good. And so is TN-grid.

Good call - Rosetta is also very valuable. The key difference is that Rosetta sub-projects require vastly more compute to reach their goals than the average WCG sub-project.

IBM has just days ago announced that they found the minimum energy state of beryllium hydride on a quantum computer. That is a phenomenal achievement, and that largest molecule for which this has ever been done. Soon, quantum computing will be mainstream enough to complete all Rosetta and WCG work in hours. The general public does not grasp what is about to happen to the compute power attainable from a quantum system.

What I like of WCG is the variety of subprojects that they run 🙂

Wow impressive again @moisemcardona ! You are really putting together quite a showcase of ribbons and badges there. Keep it going we will change the world for the better ! Go gridcoin go moisesmcardona!

Thanks! Of course I'm going to be cotributing to the projects. Right now I have a bunch of OpenZika and FightAIDS@Home tasks to crunch 😁
