BOINC participation update

Harrison — Sun, 31 Aug 2008 23:27:44 +0000

Finally, got my original 3 projects that I have been running for a while above 95% ranking.

I added 3 more projects a few weeks ago. Mainly due to a lot of down time on my other projects from maintenance issues. I added:

Malariacontrol.net
ABC@home
SZTAKI Desktop Grid

These projects are running on 4 different computers that I own. Two of the computers are older and are dedicated to only running BOINC.

over 100,000 credit using BOINC

Yesterday I finally achieved 100,000 credit on my 3 combined BOINC projects.

If you have available computing time and power download the BOINC client and support a project that could find extraterrestrials with SETI@home or cure some human disease with Rosetta@home.

over 50,000 BOINC work units

I finally completed over 50,000 BOINC work units. Not bad when 80% of that is done on a 6 year old Mac G4. My next goal is to get under 100k on total world postion – currently 120k. Also get all 3 of the projects I participate in over 20k.

SETI and BOINC

I have been a supporter of SETI@home for about five years. When I started there was not an easy way to participate in multiple projects. A few years back BOINC (Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing) was developed for the home user to volunteer their personal computing power and time.

See the basic info below from the BOINC site.
