Could someone make a summary of the other available projects including a description of the project goals and an estimate of the time to complete a workunit? I hear about so many other projects but unable to find much information on them. Boinc....Boinc....Boinc....Boinc.... ID: 157667 ·  |

Boinc's home page has a list of projects in production with useful links at http://boinc.berkeley.edu/ Also Boinc Synergy has a similiar list plus some of those in alpha/beta testing http://www.boincsynergy.com/ As for times I only know Einstein. An Einstein WU takes 9 hours on my system compared to 3 hours for a SETI@home WU. ID: 157671 · |

Here are two that I have joined: http://einstein.phys.uwm.edu/ For me, where a *good* SETI unit takes about 3 hours CPU time, the standard Einstein unit (and unlike SETI there is not much variability in units) takes about 6 hours on the same system (Win2K AMD XP2500 512M RAM). http://www.climateprediction.net/index.php This is a different animal -- to complete a unit takes hundreds of hours, but the configuration there yields trickle credit on the unit once or twice a day for me. Both of these projects tend to run with a regularity and stability which we've definitely NOT seen in SETI BOINC. In terms of relative scope SETI has generated about 2.3B Credit with 180K plus users and 390K plus hosts. Einstein has generated about 440M Credit with 55K plus users and just under 100K hosts. Climate has generated 760M plus credit with 48K plus users and 93K hosts Could someone make a summary of the other available projects including a description of the project goals and an estimate of the time to complete a workunit? I hear about so many other projects but unable to find much information on them.

This is a good place to look for info on all DC projects. http://www.distributedcomputing.info/projects.html Here is a description of the various Boinc projects. http://www.distributedcomputing.info/platforms.html#boinc ID: 157681 · |

The Boinc Wiki has several tables list the projects active or soon to be active via Boinc

Wonder how Einstein and CPDN would do with as many users as SETI? May see these problems thare also it they did. LHC solved that by limiteing the number of users, than they ran out of work. (with no work the RAC for LHC is dripping like a rock, even faster than SETI) Ray  Pizza@Home Rays Place Rays place Forums ID: 157799 · |

Not sure about anyone else but I joined and tried attaching to https://cell.cellcomputing.net/chronos/ and BOINC keeps telling me "You entered an invalid URL" Anyone know of a way to fix this? ID: 157877 · |

yea I tried that and it didn't seem to download anything :( The current regular version of BOINC is not set up for HTTPS, cellcomputing has a special verion of BOINC for themselves. This should be fixed in future versions of BOINC.  My movie https://vimeo.com/manage/videos/502242 ID: 157912 · |

yea I tried that and it didn't seem to download anything :( That's why I changed the URL. I'm not attached to Chronos, so I couldn't give the correct URL. I knew that BOINC wasn't set up for HTTPS yet ;-) ID: 157923 · |

Note that differences in speed between applications may vary significantly whether you use a Windows based platform or a Linux based platform (and I also believe Mac etc). Difefrent compilers with different levels of optimisation. Last time I ran Einstein it took ~10-11 hours on same hardware. I read recently that the Linux client has been optimised and now takes a lot less, some data I saw for an XP2600+ suggests that the reduction is 20-30%, i.e. nice. Howveer on same hardware running Windows Einstein would complete in 5 hours or so. For SETI this difference existed as well, but optimised clients have reduced it significantly. Running Linux on an AMD XP2800+, I now complete SETI in 2 hours (Ned Slider's optimised client).

Currently I'm running UD Agent http://www.grid.org/download/gold/download.htm the work are used to develop treatments for diseases, it usually takes 5 - 12 hours to complete while BOINCseti takes 1 hour. Information can be found here http://www.grid.org/about/ Tomas ID: 157997 · |

This seems like a good a thread as any to re-post a link worthy of bookmarking. For a fairly comprehensive list of available projects try Distributed Computing Join TeamACC Sometimes I think we are alone in the universe, and sometimes I think we are not. In either case the idea is quite staggering. ID: 158083 · |

yea I tried that and it didn't seem to download anything :( The secure routines in the latest developement version will allow you to contact the secure schedulers of the cell computing projects. However, since their schedulers are based on version two of boinc, you can not attach to the projects. ID: 158465 · |
