Damien breaks 100 million on QuChem :)

Yesterday Damien smashed the 100 million barrier on QuChem. Well done that man 
Ah, thank you! I only noticed this morning on Boincstats that I was getting close!
It's a good milestone against a main CPU focus for last year. Whilst I still like the project, I am running out my cache currently and have been spinning up WCG Covid as my main CPU focus for the foreseeable future.
This is an extract from the WCG page:
"Scientists at Scripps Research are doing molecular modelling simulations to look for possible candidates for the development of treatments for COVID-19. The research team wants not only to help find treatments for COVID-19, but also to create a fast-response, open source toolkit that will help all scientists quickly search for treatments for future pandemics. And in keeping with World Community Grid's open data policy, all data and tools that are developed through this project will be shared freely in the scientific community."
The Scripps Institute is one of the top bioscience institutes in the world, so quite a reputable effort against pandemics. Whilst it's not going to win any FB points, it seems the right focus for me.
Cheers!
