Why I fold?

Cancer has had a big effect on my family, and folding is where I feel I can fight back.

I fight cancer on two fronts, my business and folding.

I own a Home Care Business where I send nurses to homes to care for the elderly AT THEIR homes. One aspect of my business is we take care of Chemo-Therapy patients at home also. We take care of their ailments while on Chemo.

In Miami, my parents own a Hospice Staffing Company, where they send Nurses to take care of patients on their last months of life. Those deemed to have less than 6 months to live.

This is where I get my passion for Folding from. Seeing/hearing/talking and interacting with people who suffer from all these diseases makes you want to do something about it.

NVIDIA近期公開發佈了CUDA顯卡通用計算平臺的Folding@Home用戶端,已經有用戶迫不及待的開始為醫療事業做貢獻。以為名叫Nitteo的網友就在overclock.net論壇中曬出了自己的裝備,擁有51塊顯卡的Folding@Home GPU運算超級平臺。
作者表示,他開辦了一家提供家庭陪護服務的公司,經常需要陪護化療過程中的癌症病人,而他的父母也開辦了一家臨終陪護服務公司。他的家庭可以說和癌症有著緊密的聯繫。因此他決定,除了用自己公司的服務對抗癌症外,還要用Folding@Home開闢另外一塊戰場。
他的Folding平臺全部為微星P6N-Diamond主機板,顯卡大部分是GeForce 8800系列。目前有46塊顯卡已經投入工作,還有5塊在等待組裝平臺。以下就是他的部分的裝備(圖中共有32塊顯卡):

感想
只有自己看到過、陪伴過癌末病人才知道生命的無常
才能稍稍體會過家屬的心情
IT的進步如果能幫到人類醫學上一點忙
貢獻自己電腦一點點閒置的運算能力就是好事一件
51張卡,雖然還是很渺小,但很多很渺小的人集合在一起,那個力量就很可觀
大家一起加油吧
