I have a new laptop and of course, I only use a small percentage of available CPU cycles.
Since laptops are reasonably power efficient, I reckon I can afford to donate cycles to some good cause or causes. I remembered PK mentioning boinc, so I went (http://boinc.berkeley.edu/) and learned that this is the (most?) commonly used protocol/interface for public distributed computing. The boinc stuff seems to work with dozens of projects needing CPU cycles. They also have a manager (BAM) that seems useful for keeping track of participation, etc. So.. does anyone here have suggestions and/or favorites I might consider as beneficiary of my excess cycles? I would also like to hear if anyone has criticism of boinc or maybe their project list. And maybe there are other options I should consider? Regards, ..jim PS. Has anyone had any experience with /teams/. Should we consider a kplug team? ..j -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
