For example, a Stanford University
project — which uses many PCs around the world acting together as a supercomputer to assist protein folding - related disease
research — can offload
calculations to the GPU to multiply its performance many times.

Research and Engineering regarding CO2
calculations for the Natuna Gas
Project finding «the total release of CO2 from producing Natuna gas and burning of LNG manufactured from the gas would be almost twice that emitted by burning the equivalent amount -LSB-...]
The
project received funding from the
Research Council of Norway's NORKLIMA programme.The researchers succeeded in reducing uncertainty around the climatic effects of feedback mechanisms, and their findings indicate a lowered estimate of probable global temperature increase as a result of human - induced emissions of greenhouse gases.The
project researchers were able to carry out their
calculations thanks to the free use of the high - performance computing facility in Oslo under the Norwegian Metacenter
for Computational Science (Notur).
