Revolutionizing Benchmarking and Scientific Research

How Fibrenetix Uses Folding@Home to Validate Equipment Reliability and Performance

Discover how Fibrenetix leverages cutting-edge technology to support scientific research and combat diseases like cancer. Explore our innovative use of Folding@Home and learn about our commitment to reliability, performance, and global health.

Our Partnership with Folding@Home

Folding@Home is a distributed computing project that helps scientists simulate protein folding and molecular dynamics. By participating in this initiative, Fibrenetix contributes valuable processing power and storage to aid in the fight against diseases.

Supporting Cancer Research

Cancer remains one of the most challenging diseases to understand and treat. By simulating protein folding scenarios, scientists can gain insights into how proteins behave and misbehave, leading to breakthroughs in cancer research.

Beyond Cancer: Other Diseases

Our efforts extend to other diseases such as neurodegenerative disorders, viral infections, and bacterial diseases. Advanced computing plays a crucial role in these areas, providing the computational power necessary for complex simulations.

What is Folding@Home?

Folding@Home is a global distributed computing project that uses volunteers’ computers to perform complex protein simulations. This initiative accelerates scientific research by harnessing the collective power of CPUs and GPUs from around the world.

How It Works

Participants download the Folding@Home software and donate their computer’s spare processing power. These combined resources create a supercomputer capable of performing extensive simulations that individual researchers could not achieve alone.

State-of-the-Art Technology

Fibrenetix provides robust video servers and storage solutions, perfectly suited for Folding@Home’s computational demands. Our systems combine powerful CPUs and GPUs to handle intensive tasks efficiently.
