You may have noticed in the sig area of many forum members a reference to Team AnandTech. If you have found value in the articles and forums on the AnandTech Website, you can show your appreciation by becoming a member of Team AnandTech. We would like to invite you to join us and use the idle CPU cycles of your computer to further various science experiments.

SETI - Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence
Are we alone? Help analyze radio signals from space in mankind's ultimate quest.
This project, Seti At Home - "1," is the largest Distributed Computing Project in the world, will end in the first few months of 2003!
Our Seti Team is currently ranked #6 in the world! We invite you to join us as we make one final big push to go out in a bigger blaze of glory than the recent Leonid Meteor Shower. Our goal is to climb at even higher in the rankings to end this first SETI Project at least #4 in the World while we battle to hold off other SETI teams that are trying to overtake us.
Support the SETI TeAm for the next 2 - 3 months, and you can share in the fame and pride in ending the project among the very best. And because each SETI WU has a unique identifier, you could become famous all over the world for being "the one" to make "First Contact" and find "ET."
For information go to our Seti Team Website: Team AnandTech Seti
We have lots of stats: Team AnandTech SETI Stats
To get started please refer to
SETI Help and Installation and
Sukhoi's Help Index.

OGR
OGR is brought to you by the same people created RC5. In OGR, the goal is to find an optimal golomb ruler, a ruler where no 2 marks are the same distance apart. These OGRs are then used for things like X-Ray Telescopes and other scientific uses. We're currently finding the 25 mark ruler, and we could always use some help to not only keep our #2 spot, but take #1. If you want to do more than just "listen" to radio waves and instead, help scientists see things, OGR might be for you.
Team AnandTech OGR-24 - Team AnandTech is ranked #1 in the world.
Team AnandTech OGR-25 - Team AnandTech is ranked #2 in the world. Help us become #1!

UD
United Devices and Intel have launched a landmark research project that allows people to make a real difference in the fight against cancer.
Team AnandTech and the Intel-United Devices Cancer Research Project are asking you to volunteer your PC to help process molecular research being conducted by the Department of Chemistry at the University of Oxford in England and the National Foundation for Cancer Research. To participate, you simply download a very small, no cost, non-invasive software program that works like a screensaver: it runs when your computer isn't being used, and processes research until you need your machine. Your computer never leaves your desk, and the project never interrupts your usual PC use.
The UD client rewards you based on the amount of time you spend analyzing data, rather than the amount of data you return. This makes UD ideal to run along side other Distributed Computing projects. You won't analyze as much data, but you'll still be helping Team AnandTech work its way to number one!

Folding@Home
The Folding@Home project seeks to understand the process behind protein folding. In order to carry out their function (e.g. as enzymes or antibodies) the protein must take on a particular shape. It makes this shape by folding.
Understanding how proteins self-assemble ("protein folding") is a holy grail of modern molecular biophysics. What makes it such a great challenge is its complexity, which renders simulations of folding extremely computationally demanding, and difficult to understand. The Stanford group has developed a new way to simulate protein folding.
A protein can fold itself in one-millionth of a second. It takes 1000 computers to simulate a fold in the same amount of time. Stanford needs your help, and so does Team Anandtech.

GENOME@Home
Genome@Home along with Folding@Home is run by PandeGroup at Stanford
The goal of Genome@home is to design new genes that can form working proteins in the cell. The 4 main applications are:
Engineering new proteins for medical therapy
Designing new pharmaceuticals
Assigning functions to the dozens of new genes being sequenced every day
Understanding protein evolution.

* Once you've obtained the client, you'll simply need to unzip, install, and then start it up. A readme is included with the parameters. When installing for the first time, you'll need to enter your account info, and here's the important part, join TA by entering the team number when asked: 604374405

Currently TA G@H is fairly small but has still managed to reach No 35 in the team listings, and we need your help!

Distributed Folding
Proteins have a vast number of folds, larger than we could hope to compute, even with distributed computing. Usually only one fold is found in nature. The Distributed Folding Project aims to test our new protein folding algorithm. We want see if it can reproduce natural protein folds after making extremely large samples of many different folds.
With your help, we will create the largest samples of protein folds ever computed. First we will make 1 Billion (1,000,000,000) folds for 5 small proteins; then we will try 10 Billion (10,000,000,000) for another 10 large proteins. By the end of our first phase, we hope to make over 100 Billion protein folds spanning 15 different proteins.

TeAm DF Stats -- What a great page!
TeAm DF is a small group but growing and getting some great results (We are 18th in the world as of November 2002). This Client does a great job of not interfering with your computer tasks and the "readme1st.txt" file in the download does a great job of providing installation and configuration instructions.
Watch for Daily posts in the DC forum to see what we're up to (DF Daily)

SB - Seventeen Or Bust
Did you know that every odd number can also be represented in the form k2n + 1. This form is known as a Proth number and is the type of number being studied by , in an effort to solve the Seventeen or Bust Sierpinski Problem for last remaining 17 values under the previously believed lowest k number
Anandtech is a small Team rising up the ranks very quickly, and with your help we could get even higher.
If you are interested in joining, please visit the download page, install the client. Then enter your desired username, and enter Anandtech as the Team name (case sensitive)
You will find team stats here, and your own personal stats here.

Find A Drug Project
Find a Drug is run on a non-proft basis by Treweren Consultants, the developers of the THINK software used in the United Devices Cancer project. The object is to work on treatments for multiple diseases at the same time. Projects include:
Cancer - working with UD and the University of Oxford they are screening more proteins with the latest release of the THINK software.
Proteme - Screens to find which proteins interact with potential drug molecules. This one runs when there are pauses in the more focused projects like Cancer and AIDS.
Bioterrorism Antidotes - working on antidotes for anthrax, etc.
Methodology - works on improving the software itself. This is done very rarely and only after it has been tested by Beta members.
Projects that will be coming online in the near future:
HIV - They are hoping to seek out molecules that have the potential to inhibit AIDs development in a novel way.
Herbicides and Pesticides - working to develop safer more environmentally friendly pesticides and herbicides.
TeAm Anandtech is currently ranked 21st in the world. This is a small project so even one machine can make a huge difference.
