[EMAIL PROTECTED] completes the switch to BOINC
----------------------------------------------------
[EMAIL PROTECTED] has completed its transition to BOINC (Berkeley Open Infrastructure
for Network Computing). BOINC, developed at U.C. Berkeley, is a framework for
volunteer computing projects like [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Switching your computer to the new "[EMAIL PROTECTED]/BOINC" is easy. Visit
"[EMAIL PROTECTED] Classic" project on December 15. The workunit totals of users and
teams will be frozen at that point, and the final totals will be available on
the web.
Scientists at other universities are using BOINC to create volunteer computing
projects in areas like molecular biology, high-energy physics, and climate
you donate computer time to multiple causes, divided up however you want. For
example, your PC could spend 40% of its time searching for extraterrestrial
and 30% studying protein folding, design and docking ([EMAIL PROTECTED]:
You can run [EMAIL PROTECTED] 100% of the time if you want. But we strongly encourage
you to participate in other projects. Doing so ensures that when [EMAIL PROTECTED] is
down or has no work, your computer stays busy helping other researchers.
Support [EMAIL PROTECTED]
----------------------------------------------------
[EMAIL PROTECTED] is increasingly reliant on individual donations. Without the support
of individuals like you the project will not be able to continue. We urge all
[EMAIL PROTECTED] participants to make a yearly donation to keep the project going:
