THIS PROJECT HAS COMPLETED.
----------------------------------------------
Help Cancer Computer provide computing resources for cancer, or cancer-related projects, on the Open Science Grid, like Dr. Sami Meroueh's Structural Protein-Ligand Interactome (SPLINTER) project.
The SPLINTER project predicts the interaction of thousands of small molecules with thousands of proteins. These interactions are predicted using the three-dimensional structure of the bound complex between each pair of protein and compound that is predicted by molecular docking. These docking runs consist of millions of individual short jobs each lasting only minutes, and are managed by Pegasus.
Each sub-workflow takes about 5.68 million core hours per year. That means, we need 648 processor cores, running at 100%, running at 100%, for an entire year, for four years, to process this data.
Imagine how much it would cost to buy an entire 7 foot rack of servers, and run it in a secured, air conditioned data center, for a year. As you can imagine, very expensive. Your gift helps pay for the hardware and operational costs, to make this a reality. Thank you.
Goal amount is to purchase 41 servers, and run them at a datacenter until Dec 31, 2021.
