1) Message boards : Rosetta@home Science : Boinc/Rosetta on the Xbox 360? (Message 40824) Posted 12 May 2007 by ATV_Distributed Post: I think it's a great idea to put resources into making crunching clients for game consoles or for that matter, any consumer electronic with a processor. I just posted a HOWTO for installing BOINC on the Apple TV. The thing just sits there idling all day, and only uses some CPU power when it's actually playing a movie. It's 1GHZ, so it's not much, but there is power in numbers! The best part is when I play a movie, BOINC just slows down, and my movies do not skip. In case your interested, here is HOWTO setup BOINC on the Apple TV: http://www.appletvbbs.com/showthread.php?t=123 I don't own the development kit for xbox 360, but it seems trivial to compile one of the existing BOINC clients with XNA. Is there some other hardware/software limitation to stop this from happening?

(Message 40815) Posted 12 May 2007 by ATV_Distributed Post: I started crunching Rosetta earlier this week on 3 of my computers. This morning I woke up and none of them were crunching. The server does not seem to want to send me any more work. What's going on? Is there a problem with the server today?
