I think that's an interesting way of determining where to put your resources. As far as World Community Grid, see link below summarizing 8 research projects and how far they have progressed. Listing a few examples indicating HUGE amounts of work yet to be done.

FightAids@Home Phase 2 - started September 2015 - 60% complete
Mapping Cancer Markers - started November 2013 - 61% complete
Childhood Cancer - started January 2017 - 53% complete
Etc...

As some of you already know, we just started testing of CUDA Gromacs application for Linux and Windows computers. To use it under Linux you should have Gromacs installed (apt-get install gromacs on Debian based systems).

Under Windows you should have Nvidia GPU with CUDA 2.3 capability and AVX256 capable CPU.

As apps are now under tests, only users with test applications enabled will get tasks. Also, ignore estimated running time reported by Manager as is currently set very high by me for testing purposes.

Lots of discussion about AVX in that thread. Good luck!

Wow that looks brutal, thanks for the info. I trust the new team, but perhaps we'll have to vet the project to make sure we're discovering new drugs, not "a scam project to collect money from investors." LOL...

The cryptocoins featured will be completely changed in near future but at this moment it isn't in our main scope.

What's up with that, a way to finance the project?

One way to check project status is to visit Free-DC.org or BoincStats. Click on a project and you can see how many points it generated daily in the last 28 to 40 days (along with much more info if you click around). For example CAS@Home generated zero points in the last 40 days according to BoincStats.

Einstein uploads are actually kinda-sorta working. Here's advice from a Forum Admin (from the thread Dr. Who Fan provided). Takes longer than he suggests, about 20+ minutes to upload about 50 of 'em.
Open BOINC Manager at the transfers tab. Select them all by clicking the first one and then shift-clicking the last one. Click the "retry now" button. If the process stalls, or if a significant number of the entries reverts to "retrying in ..." just click the retry button again. Rinse and repeat until the entire list has cleared. This might take several minutes for a particularly long list of stuck transfers but the entire list cam be cleared this way.

The last workunits for SIMAP are currently distributed. We assume about 5 days of work distribution left. Beyond these, there will be no more work in this project. Thanks to all of you for crunching protein similarities.

Best wishes

SIMAP will leave BOINC by end of 2014 SIMAP is currently moving towards new algorithms for similarity calculations and scoring. After extensive tests and evaluations during the last months it turned out that the best way to continue SIMAP will be to use dedicated local hardware in our institute. SIMAP will therefore use BOINC only to maintain the current SIMAP database until the end of 2014. BOINC clients for the new SIMAP database will not be released and there will be no workunits for SIMAP after 2014. After 10 very successful years of SIMAP within BOINC this decision was not an easy one for us. However, we thank all users for their support in the past and in the upcoming last period until the end of the year.

Just a reminder there are only 3 1/2 weeks left to crunch this project before it closes. Shall we send Simap off with a major crunch-fest? The Knights Who Say Ni! made this Project of the Month for December.

Looking closer, I've been snagging about 1 WU every week to 10 days for about 2 months. So stay attached to this project, I expect every lil' bit helps at this stage. Shrubbing a large WU now...

I hope VolPex gets their act together soon. If I understand it correctly, this could be an important project that opens up Boinc to apps that allow interaction between WUs on different computers. (WUs communicate by transferring info back and forth to a central server, not directly to each other.)

No contact since 2014-07-25. Anybody has any information?

OProject announced they would be down until 10/8/2014, returning with a brand new faster server. However that date format is ambiguous: since August 10 has come and gone, evidently OProject will be down until October 8 2014.

Fiit currently appears to solve Reversi puzzles? WUs have no checkpointing, crunch time ranges from about 35 to 98 hours. No message board. Alpha phase...proceed at your own risk.
