Home Active Projects SIMAP

Please note: This site has officially become a museum of volunteer computing as opposed to an active site.

When the site was started, there was a need for better volunteer computing information, but I am happy to say that there is enough information available now that this website's mission is no longer necessary. Please see sites listed on the links page for more current information.

SIMAP has a database of about all currently published protein similarities and protein domains. Public databases have accumulated a massive number of protein sequences and these data are constantly being updated. This creates a need for the power the FASTA algorithm to continue searching for similarities. SIMAP uses the BOINC Platform.

    The workunits for the about 400.000 new protein sequences (for the May release of SIMAP) will be available from Mon, Apr 30 (morning). We estimate that the May batch will need about one week of work. Best, Thomas
  • Workunits for April upcoming
    The workunits for the about 380.000 new protein sequences (for the April release of SIMAP) will be available from Fri, Mar 30 (morning). We estimate that the April batch will need about one week of work. Best, Thomas
  • Workunits for March upcoming
    The workunits for the about 485.000 new protein sequences (for the March release of SIMAP) will be available from Wed, Feb 29 (evening). We estimate that the batch for March will need about one..two weeks of work. To allow a smooth distribution of the results to all hosts, the maximum number of results in progress will be continuously increased from 2 to 50 per core. Best, Thomas
