See also: This category in other languages: - Distributed computing project for finding abc-triples related to the mathematical A+B=C, or ABC conjecture. - Boitho distributed crawler (BETA). Goal is to make a general internet search engine with a thumbnail picture of all the pages. - Large-scale simulation where each participant is given one slightly different scenario to run. Those that successfully model past weather patterns will be more likely to accurately predict the future. - Includes client software download, computation records, and project description on its research into mathematical problems. - Long annotated list. - Founded to support the digitization of public domain books. Originally conceived to assist Project Gutenberg, Distributed Proofreaders is now the main source of PG e-books. - Modeled after the Digital Proofreaders project, this variation focuses on digitization of works considered to be in the public domain in Europe. - Kirk Pearson's directory of current distributed computing projects as well as news articles and related materials. - Uses a computer's idle time to search for spinning neutron stars (also called pulsars) using data from the LIGO and GEO gravitational wave detectors. - Distributed computing program for evolutionary biology. - GPU is an Open Source Gnutella/Pastella client that allows users to share CPU-resources on a truly P2P based cluster. Applications include a Landscape Generator able to generate movies and an experimental Distributed Search Engine. The client is under development. - Research project developing a software infrastructure for distributed computing on a world-wide scale. - A distributed computing effort by the United Devices Global MetaProcessor with the participation of over 2 million PCs worldwide for cancer, anthrax, and smallpox research projects. - Project pays select computer users to run a client that tests internet performance. - An annotated directory of projects combined with commentary and illustrations or screenshots. - Research project homed at the University of Virginia. An open specification and prototype for a worldwide virtual computer. - BOINC project, dedicated to general classical dynamics for any scientist or science student. - Distributed Computing Project aimed towards building the largest search engine index on the Internet using Distributed Crawlers. - Research project developing tools and middleware components to coherently share and manage data and metadata in a Grid or distributed computing environment. - Uses PC idle time to simulate and design a particle accelerator. - NGrid is a .Net open source grid computing framework written in C#. NGrid provides a transparent multithread and garbage collected programming model for grid programming. - Project goal is a single run-time environment that ties together several networked supercomputers. Intended users are the community of scientists and engineers addressing "grand challenge" computations. - A distributed project to find short Post Correspondence Problems with large shortest solutions. - The system allows the management/use of the computational power of idle computers in a network. Based on a client-master-slave architecture, using message based communication. - News and resources on grid computing. - The SDSC Matrix Project performs research and open-sourced development to deliver the grid workflow protocols and workflow language descriptions necessary to build a peer-to- peer infrastructure for Grid Workflow Management Systems. - Currently searches for generalized binary number systems. - Screensaver program tries to find divisors of Fermat numbers. - SIMAP is a public database of pre-calculated protein similarities that plays a key role in many bioinformatics methods. It contains about all currently published protein sequences and is continuously updated. - Distributed network chess experiment. Intends to create a single playing program using donated time. - Aims at developing novel data management techniques to deal with the challenge of global computing. - Software for the long time scale simulation of solids. From University of Washington Chemistry Department. - Explores distributed file sharing through BitTorrent and experiments with the GNU Compiler for Java. It also produces a regular BitTorrent client, torrent creator and tracker program. - Research and Development collaboration aiming at development, maintenance and support of the free Grid middleware known as the Advance Resource Connector (ARC). News, documentation, downloads, and background information. - Engaged in research, design, and development of Grid technologies that help in solving large-scale compute and data intensive science applications in the area of molecular biology. - Mission is to create the largest public computing grid benefiting humanity. Currently supporting the Human Proteome Folding project to provide scientists with data that predicts the shape of a very large number of human proteins. - Global computing infrastructure to provide the production and analysis environments for the LHC experiments. - Project of a postdoctoral fellow in Brian Kobilka's lab, in the Molecular and Cellular Physiology department, Stanford University running large calculations, the purpose being to modelize the conformational changes of the beta 2 adrenergic receptor and have a better understanding of its pharmacology. Runs through Mac OSX-only software called XGrid. How to install and configure the software, news about the project, and a FAQ. - Article discusses the "early days" (pre-1998) of distributed computing projects, explains the basics of how they work and how to get them to work well, describes some early successes, and considers how CPU cycles may someday become a commodity to be bought, sold or traded.
