A Convergence for Computing
GizmoQuest Computing Lab is an Open Source, Independent laboratory which currently empowers Decentralized Bioinformatics and AI Research, with the help of three compute servers and workstations (specifications available below) to accelerate computational simulations & intelligence modeling and bring out results much faster with GPUs. The lab has been used to author and publish a book on GPU Computing: https://tinyurl.com/GPU-Computing.
Just came to know that I received my first ever citation last January🥲❤️!

It has been cited on a paper about application of deep learning algorithms on GPU/CPU hardware & analysis at the European Journal of Science and Technology.

Background
This laboratory caters to the growing requirements of accelerated research with a 300 mbps internet connection and is used for a wide variety of research applications. It provides modern computational and facilities currently for all kinds of research. It especially provides support for GPU Accelerated Computing. Likewise, it remains busy 24/7.
Description
The aim of this laboratory is to provide required Computing and Simulations facilities to creative learners, researchers and students in order to meet their requirements of the growing trends in Bioinformatics and Science.
starting to come across a lot of speculative talk regarding a #DeSci future so I think we need to come back down to the tldr for a second: pic.twitter.com/8RE0HJ0Zjp

Current Line of Work
Our primary goal is currently on building a platform for computational research through DeSci with NuNet. We believe in convergence, be it Science or Art! Our founding member, Avimanyu Bandyopadhyay has completed his academic research in Bioinformatics at Heritage Institute of Technology and is currently working as a Systems Scientist at NuNet.
Once NuNet's Decentralized GPU infrastructure is live, we look forward to onboarding all the above machines to contribute on the network and help build a globally decentralized computing economy for researchers!
Envisioning a cycle for a people's #DeSci:
— Avimanyu Bandyopadhyay ☸️ (@iAvimanyu) October 27, 2022
1. Solving computational problems with @nunet_global
2. Rewarding researchers for those solutions with @nano
3. Converting required ӾNO to $NTX
4. Cycle repeats#NuNet #Nano#Decentralization #Science #Computehttps://t.co/voVksuxmQy
Future Projects/Ideas on a Decentralized Network
In the field of genomics, a simple modern run of DNA sequencing can take up to 1 TB per run according to computational biologists. So a 4 TB storage would take care of such requirements. Also, as an example, the transfer rate of the Radeon VII happens to be 1 TB/s with 1:4 FP64 performance at 3.46 TFLOPS (great at the consumer level)!
This Mini Open Source Lab will be open to all diverse computational fields and not just Science. One great example would be Computational Archaeology. Such ideas could help preserve heritage sites such as the Kailash temple at Ellora!
We're very much eager to explore the field of Computational Psychiatry and Computational Psychology especially through Video Games.
