Smartphone users can help find a cure for COVID-19 with ARM

The new development means that users of tens of millions of Android phones, ARM-based servers and

Raspberry Pi devices can use these resources to help fight the coronavirus and help find a cure for COVID-19.

Users simply launch an application thatis connecting to the downtime cycles of its device to contribute to large-scale computing projects exploring the structure of the coronavirus, predicting its trajectory and analyzing potential recoveries. The combined power of a vast army of personal devices surpasses the capabilities of virtually all of the most powerful computers available today.

Neocortix works with two software projectsdistributed computing power. They relied on co-computing to conduct their research, but so far they have been limited to volunteers using only non-ARM computing power.

Everything an ordinary citizen needs with a mobilephone is to launch the Neocortix app, ideally during periods of low phone activity, and connect to a huge computer network that handles huge numbers.

In fact, users can evenmake money on it. According to Neocortix, it will pay users up to $ 80 a year if they run the app while their phones are charging eight hours each night. If they have a spare phone that he rarely uses, leaving it on all the time and staying connected for a year can make $ 240.
