Re: Help out science by lending unused computer resources
Hi there,
I can recommend Boinc as well. It's a nice program. Selecting a project is as easy as adding it from a list of available projects. Then you can track in real time, what kind of tasks is your computer currently processing. It downloads few from each project, some of them get the computing status, others wait until their time comes. After a task is finished, it is set to wait to be returned to the server. During the computing, you can see percentage of completion for each task, as well as get informations about the estimated remaining time required to finish it.
Plus there are various configuration options such as how many % of your computing power should be used in total, whether to pause computations when you use your cpu heavily, or whether to use gpu as well or not.
There are various kinds of available projects. During my time, my computer was solving for example the LHC project, aimed to help to renew Large Hadron Collider in cern, Enigma m4 project, which's goal was to crack three messages captured during WWII, which were said to be uncrackable, or Mind modelling project, which was created to simulate processes in human mind.
All of them are still running, although I don't really get what is m4 currently doing, as its goal was filled about 10 years ago if I remember right.
Best regards
Rastislav
