Distributed Computing Project List

Phoenicis is one of the few people who actually have credits in the project. He/she should be able to create the team and then pass ownership.

OK, @phoenicis, let me know when you're ready to hand off the TeAm.

Citizen Science Grid
The Citizen Science Grid is dedicated to supporting a wide range of research and educational projects using volunteer computing and citizen science.
Jan. 2017 Working Project. CPU only. Windows, Linux, Mac and Android.

I think their Android support ended when the subset_sum project concluded. It's now Windows, Linux, and x86 Mac only.

Collatz Conjecture
Study the Collatz Conjecture, an unsolved conjecture in mathematics
Jan. 2017 Working Project. CPU, NVIDIA, AMD and INTEL GPU. Windows, Linux, Mac, Android.

Their Android application was last seen on a course towards the Bermuda Triangle.

Thanks, I will look into these and the rest.

Private GFN Server is open to the public now. If TAC wants to start a team, it might gain some members

OK. http://boincvm.proxyma.ru:30080/test4vm/team_display.php?teamid=30

Use this address to attach to the Private GFN Server project: http://boincvm.proxyma.ru:30080/test4vm/

Need to create an account on the web site first (can't create in the BOINC client) using the invitation code PrimeGrid before attaching.

Read this thread for attaching and configuration instructions: http://www.primegrid.com/forum_thread.php?id=8504

DENIS@home and Enigma@Home have, to all appearances, been abandoned.
Free-DC is managing them still like active projects, but Boincstats shows them as "retired".

(Oh, and SETI@home is on its way into its indefinite hiatus.)

Edit, NumberFields@home and SRBase now have AMD GPU and NVIDIA GPU applications.

Edit 2, Rosetta@home and Universe@home have Android applications.
Universe@home does not have an active AMD GPU application anymore.

PRIMABOINCA (http://primaboinca.com/) is closing shop at the end of May.
Agrawal's and Popovych's conjectures remain.

(Found while browsing the SETI.Germany forum for Pentathlon intel.)

RakeSearch is about to end soon:
https://rake.boincfast.ru/rakesearch/forum_thread.php?id=230
The last batch of WUs were sent to hosts a few days ago. The site will stay online, but no new tasks will be generated anymore. The findings of the project are public.

"Olivia" will be taking over for "Josh", in MindModeling.

Minecraft@home is a new project with a GPU app.

"Minecraft@Home studies questions related to Minecraft, such as the properties of worlds that can be generated from different random seeds."

"Currently, this application only supports Windows 64-bit clients with an Nvidia GPU, this will be expanded to cover the majority of other platforms soon."

I joined the project but cannot create a team until I have completed a task, and the project apparently doesn't have any work available (or just doesn't want to give me any) right now...

Thank you for the update. Always looking for new projects to add to the stats collection!

Edit: Tasks have been received and completed, so now the team has also been created.

New project SciEnterprise.

电来来电动自行车充（换）电柜信息安全&智能物联管理系统

boinc.scienterprise.cn

Accounts must be created on the site. Not in the BOINC client.
The invitation code is: um-sjtu

The TeAm has been created.

Project description from the site: Welcome to Science@Enterprise! Nowadays, enterprises own a lot of idle computing resources in their private cloud, while research projects are restricted by limited computing power. In this project, we aim to decrease this imbalance by building CloudTides, which is an elastic platform on idle cloud resources. Enterprises can donate their idle cloud servers, and individual organizations or research groups can make use of these resources.

There are Windows, Linux, and Mac OS applications with VBox. Also several native Linux applications.
No work has been created yet, as of 1/29/2021.

 

[Fardringle]

Beef@Home has tasks available, and the team has been created.

The project is still in testing and I don't see any information about the intended purpose, but for now, the application "finds prine nunbers".

Thanks for the update. I'm always looking for more small/new projects to join!

For anyone else trying to join, it took me about a dozen attempts of only getting "The project is temporarily unavailable" trying to attach a Linux VM to the project, but it did eventually work.

We'll need a TAC member to created a TeAm for this project.

 

[Fardringle]

I'm not a member of TAC, but I went ahead and created a team with the standard format. If/when someone from TAC gets online, they can take ownership away from me.

I just noticed this and made an account, but I'm not able to select a team, and I'm not able to add the project to BOINC...

As I mentioned a few posts up, it took about a dozen attempts to get my first computer attached, but it eventually did work. I'm not sure about joining a team since it joined me automatically when I created the team..

 

[StefanR5R]

@crashtech,
isn't there a green [Join this team] button at the team page…?

(I wouldn't know; I haven't created an account.)
