Just saw on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/BOINC/comments/1heqgsw/is_boinc_dying_or_dead_already/.

Some rightly asks for clarifications and so i do: https://www.reddit.com/r/BOINC/comments/1heqgsw/comment/m274hdm/.

What's going on? Only 2 papers for real in 2024?

CPDN has two this year I know that if not published yet there is at least one more active piece of research going on there that will result in one. Not long ago there was the announcement about the Rosetta@home leader wining a Nobel prize. I suspect some with greater knowledge than I about other projects could point to more. I suspect this is a nonsense post on Redit by someone who has not bothered to check how many papers have been published that involve BOINC computing.

I have updated our CPDN list.
Rosetta@home publications could be added from https://www.bakerlab.org/publications/ but BOINC-based computing acknowledgements are sometimes not easily determined.

It feels like there's not a lot of growth - despite more and more people around the world having access to spare computing power. And more and more of this spare computer power.

With World Community Grid ... having difficulties ... there's not been a lot of new high-traffic research in medical field outside existing projects.

I've been crunching for nearly 13 years but I can't help but feel the future is cloudy.

Thank you Contact for updating the list. I value publications more than credits, so it's essential to keep that page always up to date.

I have checked the sites of the projects I crunch occasionally and not found anything. CPDN I am more likely to know about without checking as I am more involved being a moderator for their forums. If I find anything else in Random checking I will post.
