Much of the current research views cancer treatment as an engineering problem. But there are two major barriers to this work: The first, of course, is finding a potential cure that can be boiled down into numbers. This problem is currently being addressed in research labs around the world, and there are already some promising results. The second barrier is the lack of basic computing power available to carry out the mathematical calculations needed to convert the numbers into real world treatments or even cures.Our organization is working to solve the second problem. We plan to use the vast amount of unused computing power harnessed from data centers, tablets, phones, PC’s, IoT, and Cloud servers to carry out this task, using Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing to access this idle power.
There are approximately 2 billion active global Android devices. With only 1 million active users, BOINC’s available computing power will increase tenfold & provide equal the power of the fastest industrial supercomputer.
“The main problem with the cancer moonshot is that finding a cure for cancer is not rocket science. Rocket science is about translating a big challenge into a manageable engineering problem. When it comes to sending a man or a woman to the moon, this translation may well be complex, but it’s a lot less complex than translating better understandings of cell biology into interventions that make a difference for human beings dealing with a terrifying diagnosis, in ways that are ethically and politically acceptable. Much of modern cancer research is also in effect about turning cancer into an engineering problem: making sense of changing levels of molecules in cell cultures by translating them into flow diagrams that are reminiscent of blueprints drawn up by engineers.
