Distributed computing experiments

[hornet]

Anyone here ever joined up to a distributed computing project? I've been reading about SETI and how you can
lend your processing power to their network to help with the number crunching (as much as you can on a desktop PC) and I like the sound of it. Trouble is, when I try and find something UK based to possibly get involved in (probably involving cosmology and/or particle physics), everything goes geeky and I don't understand a word of it!

Anyone here ever done this sort of thing?

I've been a member of Seti@home for just over 5 years now. in that time I have processed 1608 units for what its worth. I belong to a group called 'Lookers' Lol I not quite sure whether or not I want them to get a result

Aye, I ran SETI for a while, and then ran a cancer cure search app..

Rebuilt my machine and haven't got around to re-installing either...

Have a look here for a list of current projects..

I'm running SETI@Home and doing a unit every 2hr40m.

I am also running Folding@Home on the second processor.

Used to run Seti@Home, did over 1,000 units for team OcUK, no longer bother now.

Caught a guy at my last company who had kindly installed this crap on all of the servers that he looked after......Your own CPU's and bandwidth are one thing but the companies are for MP3's only!!!

I've done a few hundred SETI units. I happened to notice last night that I've apparently used over 10,000 hours of CPU time - that's, erm, a lot!

[xsaravtr]

1064 SETi Units with over 9.5k hours!!!

1016 units in just over 3000 hours here, and I only joined last October, and only run it on weekends when I can safely leave the Mac on!
