gaetannoah/malaria-exp repository overview

⁠OpenMalaria Simulation Container for Volunteer Computing

⁠🦟 Overview

This Docker image contains the OpenMalaria epidemiological simulation software, specifically configured for distributed computing on volunteer machines through the VC-UY1⁠ (Volunteer Computing - University of Yaoundé 1) platform. It enables large-scale malaria transmission modeling by breaking down complex simulations into smaller, manageable tasks that can run across multiple volunteer computers.

⁠🎯 Purpose

• Primary: Testing and validation of the VC-UY1 volunteer computing system
• Secondary: Real-world OpenMalaria epidemiological research and experimentation
• Educational: Demonstrating distributed computing concepts with real scientific applications

⁠🔧 What's Included

• OpenMalaria: Latest stable build of the malaria transmission simulation software
• Pre-configured Environment: Optimized for containerized execution on volunteer machines
• Input/Output Handling: Standardized data flow for distributed computing scenarios
• Resource Monitoring: Built-in performance tracking for volunteer computing metrics

⁠🚀 Quick Start

⁠Basic Usage

# Pull the image
docker pull gaetannoah/malaria-exp:latest

# Run a simple simulation
docker run --rm \
  -v /path/to/input:/input \
  -v /path/to/output:/output \
  malaria-exp:latest
