Planet Geek!: Join our BOINC team! Again!
Feb. 25th, 2008 09:41 pmI suppose it's okay to mention every two years or so that I have a BOINC team that is collectively pooling all idle computing power and using those idle cycles for scientific research and analysis. Since 2 years ago, the number of projects that use the BOINC software has increased and diversified widely, though the core projects (SETI@Home, Folding@home, etc) are still extremely active.
If you have a machine that's frequently idle, why not consider installing the BOINC client on it, and signing up to join our team? I've recently re-started many of my idle clients in an effort to shore up some of the sliding numbers (many of our long time computing partners have stopped submitting updates, due to job changes or just disinterest.)
At our best, we were ranked # 662 about a year ago. Currently we ranked #935 in the world (out of 71,588 teams), according to our page on Boincstats.com.

If you'd like to join, our SETI@Home project page has signup information, though we also have teams at Rosetta and Predictor, both great projects.
