Lifemapper - team recruiting

[GeorgeCredland]

Hi,

The Lifemapper project is the perfect compliment to SETI@Home
in that it aims to work out where known life on Earth can live.

Project web site is www.lifemapper.org


The Lifemapper biodiversity project went live around April, and an
AnandTech team was founded by TA_Andy. Since then our
participation has been relatively low, and we're
currently placed 10th as "best of the rest".

The screensaver/background program process workunits at a
fast rate (1 hour for 1GHz Pentium3, 20mins for XP3000+), so
its not a long slog to take part.

The project is providing immediate benefits in terms of detailed
maps showing where species can survive. As a member you
also get a detailed log showing the last 500 workunits returned
along with CPU times, links to species maps, and even images
of what the creatures look like.

All in all its great fun.

Come on board and lets get crunchin.

George

Thanks George for your active support.

Also, many thanks to LyNx01 for sticking to it and providing daily Lifemapper stats in this forum.

I would be more in to it if it was not a screen saver. I always prefer my distributed computing programs in a CMD-line version.

 

[GeorgeCredland]

Good news. A cross platform cmd line client is coming soon.

The next version will apparently also feature workunit caching
to benefit people with dialup connections.

You can set it to run all the time, and just keep it minimized in the system tray.

Yep, that's how I run it.

 

[Bateluer]

CMD line versions usually run faster though.

I really like the lifemapper client and plan to run it again in the near future. Right now I really want to find the next prime number with sob.
