SETI@home - Yes 2. Einstein@home - Yes 3. SETI beta - Don't know! Will the work units display a screen saver? What other projects have a screen saver? CPDN? Rosseta? seasonal Attribution? World Comunity Grid? Predictor? LHC@home? Any of the number or maths projects? ID: 656702 ·

How many BOINC projects have a screen saver? 1. SETI@home - Yes 2. Einstein@home - Yes ... Others that have are: CPDN Rosetta LHC Any more? And for some venues, the pretty screensaver is 'all important' for getting the software accepted!

Last modified: 9 Oct 2007, 15:00:29 UTC Pirates Champ is pirates a test project for Einstein or some other project? Kinda just like the SETI@home Beta screen saver will be the same as the regular SETI@home work units! For unique screen savers i can kinda cross SETIbeta off the list as it is the same screen saver as the main SETI project. ID: 656792 ·

LHC@home - Yes Is my list correct now? Or is there only 5 projects with screen savers! ID: 656796 ·

QMC@home Climate change experiment are have ss's. I don't really look at the screensavers, but BBC Climate, CPDN Climate and SAP Climate all have their own screensavers (not the same). CPDN Beta also has a screen saver which is different to CPDN regulo, well it was the last time I crunched it. flam ing balloons ID: 656973 ·

Einstein, but the Screen saver look very well. Eric Myers at Pirates tests different things, sometimes it's some small bits of code, other times it's graphics, and board features are tested as well.

Einstein@home - Yes : Pirates@home - Yes... Same screen saver No, not since EinsteinÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s Ã¢â‚¬Å“sextantÃ¢â‚¬Â screensaver was released on its own project AFAIK. Beginning sometime before I began participating in it, Pirates@home has (sporadically) been testing a number of apps with various displays, none of them resembling E@hÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s. ID: 657115 ·

LHC@home - Yes 10. QMC - Yes 11. Malariacontrol.net - Yes 12. Laden Clasical - Yes 13. Spinhenge - Yes Anymore projects with screen savers anyone? This is a valuable list, would be nice to record it as ML1 has suggested! With a nice screen shot of each. I only run the screen saver from time to time myself, just to remind me why i am doing this. But projects with a screen savers do attract more users! If anyone reading this would like to take a screen shot of these project screen savers and post the pictures, that would be cool. Then we can create a wiki page for them. ID: 658163 ·
