A blog about computers, science and some other things

BOINC and distributed computing

Posted by JLP on October 20th, 2004

I’ve been runing distributed computing projects on my computers for several years now. I started out with SETI@Home (which was the first of its kind and is still extremely popular), then I switched to D2OL (drug design and optimization) and now I decided to switch to one of the projects that run using the special BOINC client. There are several projects to choose from and I decided to join two of them for now: ClimatePrediction.net and LHC@Home (helping to build the Large Hadron Collider). I will also join Einstein@Home (helping to detect gravitational waves) when it becomes available. If you have some excess computational power, I encourage you to donate it to the science.
