Grid Computing on a massive scale.The University of Oxford/UD.com Screen Saver Smallpox Project

The presentation highlights computational chemistry results from the two-year project between the University of Oxford and UD.com. This project has covered three areas: anti-cancer drug discovery, anthrax poison cures, and recently investigating smallpox virus enzymes. With over 300,000 years of computing time invested by more than 2 million project members, public interest in science and computing is strong. Questions covered include what results do these types of Grid projects yield and what are the benefits and what sorts of e-science grid projects will researchers be developing next?
