Folding at Home and Rosetta at Home are both distributed computing platforms organized and put together to provide researchers with an alternative high-compute platform. These services take advantage of crowdsourcing and dormant computing power ranging from full server environments to last decade’s netbooks. Both services work to compute the complex and diverse ways that proteins assemble themselves by folding. Proteins assume a particular shape in order to perform their various functions and interface with each other. By understanding more about the ways that proteins fold, the medical community can better understand the cause and effect of different proteins and develop better drugs and treatments for all kinds of diseases. ...

Check out the Repo and Readme on GitHub: Ceres on Github I built Ceres as part of my time with the Campus Web Services team at the University of Arizona to monitor our vast portfolio of sites. Ceres pays attention to the site connection over HTTP and if it detects a problem it will log the potential outage in a DynamoDB table and notify a specified Slack Channel. Once it detects the end of the potential outage it will update the database entry and notify the channel again. ...
