World Community Grid: The Help Conquer Cancer Project Publishes Paper in Journal of P

The Help Conquer Cancer (HCC) project researchers have published a paper describing their efforts in re-implementing their algorithms to take advantage of Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) hardware present in many of today's computer's. If the algorithms lend themselves to use a GPU implementation, this can dramatically increase their performance. Their work has led to the testing of a beta release of HCC using GPU hardware on World Community Grid. This paper discusses their experiences.
