Public/Live Projects
1) SETI@Home http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/
Is a scientific experiment that uses Internet-connected computers in the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI). You can participate by running a free program that downloads and analyzes radio telescope data.
2) Einstein@Home http://einstein.phys.uwm.edu/
Is a program that uses your computer's idle time to search for spinning neutron stars (also called pulsars) using data from the LIGO and GEO gravitational wave detectors. Einstein@home is a World Year of Physics 2005 project supported by the American Physical Society (APS) and by a number of international organizations.
3) Climate Predictor http://www.climateprediction.net
Is to investigate the approximations that have to be made in state-of-the-art climate models (read more about this). By running the model thousands of times (a 'large ensemble') we hope to find out how the model responds to slight tweaks to these approximations - slight enough to not make the approximations any less realistic. This will allow us to 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. This will allow us 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. By using your computers, we will be able to improve our understanding of, and confidence in, climate change predictions more than would ever be possible using the supercomputers currently available to scientists.
4) Protein Predictor@Home http://predictor.scripps.edu/
Is a world-community experiment and effort to use distributed world-wide-web volunteer resources to assemble a supercomputer able to predict protein structure from protein sequence. Our work is aimed at testing and evaluating new algorithms and methods of protein structure prediction. We recently performed such tests in the context of the Sixth Biannual CASP (Critical Assessment of Techniques for Protein Structure Prediction) experiment, and now need to continue this development and testing with applications to real biological targets. Our goal is to utilize these approaches together with the immense computer power that can be harnessed through the internet and volunteers all over the world (you!) to address critical biomedical questions of protein-related diseases.
5) LHC@Home http://lhcathome.cern.ch/
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is a particle accelerator which is being built at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, the world's largest particle physics laboratory. When it will switch on in 2007, it will be the most powerful instrument ever built to investigate on particles proprieties.
The LHC@Home project produces results that are essential for verifying the long term stability of the high energy particles in the LHC.
6) Rosetta@home http://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/
To determine the 3-dimensional shapes of proteins in research that may ultimately lead to finding cures for some major human diseases. By running the Rosetta program on your computer while you don't need it you will help us speed up and extend our research in ways we couldn't possibly attempt without your help. You will also be helping our efforts at designing new proteins to fight diseases such as HIV, Malaria, Cancer, and Alzheimer's.
7) SZTAKI Desktop Grid http://szdg.lpds.sztaki.hu/szdg/
Brand new general purpose grid, mainly aimed at Hungary. But don't let the language scare You away, feel free to join. The aim of the project is to find all the generalized binary number systems up to the 11th dimension.
8) SIMAP@home http://boinc.bio.wzw.tum.de/boincsimap/
The Similarity Matrix of Proteins. SIMAP is a database for the precomputed homologies of protein sequences and provides specialized retrieval tools for effective use of that data. The publicly available web based SIMAP presentation module provides variuos search tools.
Beta Testing Projects
1) Folding@Home http://fah-boinc.stanford.edu/
Is a distributed computing project which studies protein folding, misfolding, aggregation, and related diseases. We use novel computational methods and large scale distributed computing, to simulate timescales thousands to millions of times longer than previously achieved. This has allowed us to simulate folding for the first time, and to now direct our approach to examine folding related disease.
2) Astropulse http://setiweb.ssl.berkeley.edu/beta
Still under development used also for SETI Beta Testing
Alpha Testing Projects
1) SETI@Home http://isaac.ssl.berkeley.edu/alpha/
See Public version for description
2) Climate Predictor http://cpdn.comlab.ox.ac.uk/alpha/
See Public version for description
3) LHC@Home http://lhcathome-alpha.cern.ch/
See Beta version for description
4) BURP - Big Ugly Rendering Project http://burp.boinc.dk
Aims to develop a publicly distributed system for rendering 3D animations.
5) Orbit@Home http://orbit.psi.edu/
Is a project based on BOINC and ORSA, monitoring the orbit of all the asteroids passing near the Earth. Every time a new asteroid is discovered or re-observed, the orbit of the asteroid is updated and propagated in future to check for possible impacts with the Earth.
As bigger and better telescopes are built, the number of orbits to update every day increases, so more computing power is needed in order to do it. It is at this point that the distributed computing philosophy enters and helps doing the work. The basic idea is the following: each different client can work with the data relative to a single asteroid, because there is no correlation between asteroids (excluding extremely rare cases, like asteroid-asteroid impact or gravitational perturbation; both these cases can be handled in an improved version of orbit@home). If the number of clients available is greater than the number of orbits to update (times a redundancy factor), it is possible in principle to update all the orbits in the same time needed by a single computer to update a single orbit. This is what makes the orbit@home project so appealing.
6) Lattice Project http://lattice.umiacs.umd.edu/boinc_public/
Runs many subprojects like:
a) The Laboratory of David Fushman will be running proteinrotein docking algorithms on Lattice. When driven by experimentally derived constraints, these will help in modeling the structures of large multi-subunit proteins, and the interactions of such proteins with various ligands. CNS is the featured Grid service in this project.
b) Floyd Reed and Holly Mortensen from the Laboratory of Sarah Tishkoff have use a number of MDIV simulations through The Lattice Project. These are studies in molecular population genetics that seek to use DNA sequence polymorphism to estimate the times of divergence and migration rates among ethnically diverse human populations in Africa.
7) ALife@Home http://alifeathome.dyndns.org/
Short for 'Artificial Life at Home' is an effort to conduct scientific experiments regarding neural networks and evolution on the computers of volunteers. This way, unused computer power in many homes, and therefore wasted electricity, could be used for something meaningful. At the same time, the researcher can do experiments that would otherwise be unfeasable due to the amount of required computer equipment. If you are interested, you can read some general introduction to the field, you can read about the research done at ALife@Home, you can read something about the technical details regarding distributed computing, or you can go straight ahead and open an account to donate computer power to ALife@Home.
8) CrashCollection http://winerror.cs.berkeley.edu/crashcollection/
Ever wonder why your machine crashed for no apparent reason? Researchers at U.C. Berkeley's Recovery-Oriented Computing Group are gathering data to find out! Join Crash Collection to send us data about your computer.
9) Resource Measurement http://winerror.cs.berkeley.edu/resourcemeasurement/
What idle resources are available on your computer while you are working? At the Recovery-Oriented Computing Group at U.C. Berkeley, researchers are collecting statistics to measure resource availability.
10) Cell Computing http://www.cellcomputing.net/simple/index.php
Japanese biomedical reserch project.
11) Brake The Forum http://boinctest.axpr.net/
To test the BOINC forums.
12) PrimaGridMessage@Home http://message.boincstats.com/
Currently under development, as is PerlBOINC. Message@Home is PerlBOINC testing project, trying to recover message, encoded with md5 algorithm. The message is split into parts of 7 symbols of length, and each part is encoded with md5. Message@Home software will try to brute-force the message parts, and to recover the full message. PerlBOINC is an attempt to implement BOINC system in Perl programming language.
Future Projects
1) PlanetQuest http://www.planetquest.org/
The scientific mission is the discovery, by PlanetQuesters, of thousands of new planets in our galaxy within the next five years. Over 150 planets around other stars have been discovered since 1995. The difficulty is that planets around other stars are too small and faint to be seen directly. Their presence must be determined indirectly through a process that requires careful analysis of very large amounts of astronomical data
2) Nano@Home http://www.nanoathome.org/
Is an open source project, as much as it is a science project, to help advance nanotechnology. Specifically it is set up to help in the design of nanometer-sized molecular machines that will make it feasible to manufacture just about anything that is possible within the constraints of the laws of nature. The process of building stuff with nanomachines is also called "Molecular Manufacturing" and is the ultimate goal of nanotechnology. Nanomachines will build with atomic precision and with an efficiency that we can only dream of at present. We will be able to produce new materials, faster and smaller computers, better and more efficient running appliances and other consumer products... Nanomachines will also be able to repair stuff. They will be so small that they can work inside your body repairing cuts and bruises and broken bones, fending off viruses and bacteria by attacking and killing them. They would probably be able to defeat cancer and perhaps even aging. Nanotechnology holds the promise of a new era.
3) BIFI@Home http://bifi.unizar.es/research/computing/bah/index.php?lang=1
Is a small application which uses the idle cycles of your computer to perform calculations which contribute to the research done at the Intitute of Biocomputing and Physics of Complex Systems at the University of Zaragoza.
4) HEP@Home http://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=228&confId=0
High Energy Physics experiments at CERN. Documentation >> Here << (http://oct31.de/tmp/hep%40home.pdf)
5) Translate@Home http://autotranslator.net/
Used in the translation of books into languages that would not be economically viable to translate manually. Making knowledge freely available to communities that otherwise could not read the texts. You can participate by running a free program that downloads and analyses lexis data. Objectives are to create a world class electronic repository of freely available non-fiction books; To translate these books into numberous languages through the use of BOINC software; To make these new translations freely available via the Internet to everyone.
6) FightAIDS@Home http://fightaidsathome.scripps.edu//
Is the first biomedical distributed computing project ever launched. It is run by the Olson Laboratory at The Scripps Research Institute, and uses your computer to assist fundamental research to discover new drugs, using our growing knowledge of the structural biology of AIDS.
