For nearly two decades, volunteer distributed computing projects have helped advance scientific research and understanding of infections and hereditary diseases. Scientists need to understand how diseases work to formulate therapies to fight them. One key way to arrive at this understanding is to create models and run multitudes of molecular dynamics simulations.  These simulations are huge and resource-intensive. Even with the help of big cloud providers and onsite clusters, scientists still need computation resources to power these simulations. Using client-server systems like BOINC, volunteers run simulations called work units using…

First of all, with a New Year, we wish everyone to start 2015 on the right path to success and happiness! Having no options for employment and career building is one of the common themes I'm hearing from Software Engineers in the Ostrava region. There is a few employers with a limited variety of technology projects. We are introducing a new alternative you can consider: innovative engineering projects for agile software houses in the Silicon Valley. Would you consider it? (more…)

The demand for profiq's services from Silicon Valley based hi-tech companies is increasing. This brings new opportunities for technical talent in the Ostrava region. People started seeing us as a competitive alternative to existing IT vendors on the job market of the region, even before moving to Ostrava. Opening a new engineering center in Ostrava increases our dedication to being the alternative. Most of all, we are now even closer (couldn’t be any closer than that :) ) to university students to enable them to work on technically challenging projects. We…
