SPARE CYCLES AGAINST MALARIA.
The article discusses Africa@home, a project that utilizes idle computer cycles to research malaria, which kills one million people a year in sub-Saharan Africa and is the biggest single cause of death in children under five. The project was begun by researchers at the University of Geneva, who deve...

The project was begun by researchers at the University of Geneva, who developed a computer model for malaria epidemiology using 40 machines for preliminary studies. The intensive nature of epidemiology requires much more power, so a program that allows anyone to contribute spare computer cycles is available at www.africaathome.org. pubtype: Periodical doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y dt: @attributes: year: 2006 holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
