A few ideas:
Evolve nontrivial software with genetic programming.
Voxel worlds at retina resolution.
Fold proteins and simulate entire cell bio chemistries in silico.
Find bugs in complex apps by exploring large chunks of their combinatorial space. (Think fuzzing at scale.)
Lots and lots of other very scientifically interesting huge combinatorial searches: superconducting materials, novel theories of physics (mathematical combinatorial space), etc.
- netcan 12y agoHow resource constrained is simulated protein folding? Do you have any idea what we could do if it wasn't?
- api 12y agoI know it's immensely compute-intensive and takes on the order of days to weeks to compute a single protein fold. If we could do that in seconds, we could do things like take a genome and "compile" a cell and then simulate it to some degree of accuracy. That might finally unlock the latent potential of genetics.
- netcan 12y agoReally? With enough computing power we could compile a genome? If this is for real, this is definitely in the world changing things that Moore's Law will produce category. Is computing power really the main thing missing?
