Boinc

Hi,

Are there any people involved in BOINC based projects. I'm running Seti (again) and Climate Prediction. I must say that the BOINC client is straight forward and does its job quitte well, however the stats pages are very userunfriendly for large groups at the moment. I heard rumours that Folding@Home is one of the next projects to be transfered to the BOINC platform. Can somebody "confirm" this?

as far as i know folding will be added very soon. there is something very similar to folding already on bionic, i just can't remember what it is called. i want to run bionic when the folding part of it comes out.

You mean Predictor@Home? http://boinc.berkeley.edu/

I wanted to know what other projects were out there besides Seti and Folding. BOINC is the perfect means to really distribute work for computing. Not only you can run one project but also 2 or more of your liking. I think BOINC will be one of the most revolutionary tools for Scientists. (for processing purposes that is)

I also heard that IBM is starting BOINC like project. Here is a link http://www.planetary.org/news/2004/w...grid_1124.html

Btw the Climate Prediction project is not very succesfull in my PC, it's starting over and over again. I don't know why, but I tend to investigate.
