1) Message boards : Number crunching : Download failures (Message 12009) Posted 15 Jan 2006 by Nasher Post: Well it looks like my computers may have grabed some files and i was hopefull till i saw these messages right now im at work (24 hr duty day) so i cant check my computers to see if they downloaded ... but i hope they did so i can be crunching here also... Good luck to you all and happy new LHC work
2) Message boards : Cafe LHC : LHC@home needs more publicity (Message 11889) Posted 11 Jan 2006 by Nasher Post: I also recomend rosetta. it is a nice project personaly i run lots of projects to balance my work load and my intrest in them attached is a list of what i am running Rosetta@home <- love the support, this project works on optimizing the Rosetta code and help in the research to fight diseases (our prime choice ~ 50%) Climateprediction.net <- goal to investigate the approximations that have to be made in state-of-the-art climate models improve our understanding of how sensitive our models are to small changes and also to things like changes in carbon dioxide and the sulphur cycle. To explore how climate may change in the next century under a wide range of different scenarios. In the past estimates of climate change have had to be made using one or, at best, a very small ensemble (tens rather than thousands!) of model runs. (~ 15%) Predictor <- an effort to use distributed computing to predict protein structure from protein sequence and to test new algorithms and methods of protein structure prediction. This development and testing with applications to real biological targets. (~7%) Einstein <- I love Sci-fi and outer space so searching for spinning neutron stars (or pulsars) using data from the LIGO and GEO gravitational wave detectors. Sounds nice so I also picked this project (~5%) Primegrid <- always wanted to do some math factoring stuff. This project is a PerlBOINC testing project, trying to deal with RSA Factoring Challenge - trying to split the 193-digit number into two factors that multiplied form the original number. (~2%) SZTAKI Desktop Grid <- currently searching for generalized binary number systems. This program aims at finding many generalized binary number systems. These may be used in data compression, coding or cryptography. (~2%) World Community Grid <- a further split under boinc that will run various scientific research. (~2%) SIMAP <- a public database of pre-calculated protein similarities that plays a key role in many bioinformatics methods. containing about all currently published protein sequences and is continuously updated. SIMAP calculates protein similarities for biological research projects. (~2%) Seti <- Neat graphics, The Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence. By using radio telescopes to listen for narrow-bandwidth radio signals from space. Such signals are not known to occur naturally, so a detection would provide evidence of extraterrestrial technology. I started with DC and like to continue to crunch the occasional work unit (~2%) UFluids <- Space propulsion (pre-alpha project) so anyone taking part should expect a few problems a massively distributed computer simulation of two-phase fluid behavior in microgravity and microfluidics problems. To design better satellite propellant management devices and address two-phase flow in microchannel and MEMS devices. (~2%) The other 10% will probably be used by the other projects running or upcoming LHC <- Large Hadron Collider. LHC@home helps the construction of LHC. It simulates how the particles travel trough the 27 km long tunnel. With the help of the calculated information, the magnets that control the beam can be calibrated with greater precision. Lots of time has no work. BURP <- just like the name of it (pre-alpha project) BURP aims to develop a publicly distributed system for rendering 3D animations. (currently out of work) Malaria control <- Africa @ home. Simulation models of the transmission dynamics and health effects of malaria are an important tool for malaria control. They can be used to determine optimal strategies for delivering mosquito nets, chemotherapy, or new vaccines currently under development and testing. PlanetQuest <- will look for planets around other stars. Will analyze telescope data to detect the presence of planets around stars and to learn more about the stars. Project participants who discover planets will be credited with the discovery in the project's planet catalog. The project is currently in development and internal alpha testing Orbit @ home <- will use the Orbit Reconstruction Simulation and Analysis (ORSA) framework "to monitor the impact hazard posed by Near Earth Objects pre alpha
