i have just joined the world community grid. this is pretty cool.

"World Community Grid's mission is to create the largest public computing grid benefiting humanity. Our work is built on the belief that technological innovation combined with visionary scientific research and large-scale volunteerism can change our world for the better. Our success depends on individuals - like you - collectively contributing their unused computer time to this not-for-profit endeavor."

"Grid computing joins together many individual computers, creating a large system with massive computational power that far surpasses the power of a handful of supercomputers. Because the work is split into small pieces that can be processed simultaneously, research time is reduced from years to months. The technology is also more cost-effective, enabling better use of critical funds."

i have previously contributed to the seti@home project, though not for quite a while. both use the Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing (BOINC) software platform.

i'm now involved in the FightAIDS@Home and the Human Proteome Folding projects. bioinformatics. yeah!

the bbc's climateprediction.net project is also neat.
Mood:: 'jubilant' jubilant
Music:: triplej
