Well folks, the other thread was getting a bit long again, so here we are, a new one.

Just like to wish everyone a jolly good holiday.

Have fun and be safe.

Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and, if I've got my dates right, which I rarely do, Happy Hannukah!

Merry Christmas cantoria :wave:

hmmm think we may need to get the decs up in here :)

Merry Christmas everybody, and thoughts especially to those who don't or can't celebrate with us.

Good job too or the local economy would probly collapse! I am thinking How about a parachuting course for SP? hehehe I always quite liked the idea of parachuting only never got around to it :doh: - So as he is our prodigle son I think he should try it first :hehehchortle: - NB I was watching the HD TV demonstration in Curry's yesterday - They had some dude leaping out of a plane on a snowboard!!! Now that looks like some serious fun!!!

Happy New Year Fadbeens and other crunchers :)

Happy New Year one and all.

No long and convoluted thread this Saturday (Rather late Friday post actually)

Just a video wishing you all a very happy new year from the FaDBeens

I hope you all enjoy it.


Probably the coolest team in ze vurld!

Happy new year all. finaly came up with my plans for DC projects.

I am Happy to be with FaDBeens and am still sorry that FaD closed.

My Wife and I run various DC projects that we are interested in. We originally started with Seti and then went serching found UD then went to FaD, When FaD closed we headed over to BOINC and have decided to run a large aray of projects.

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
