Cosmology@Home

Einstein@home

  • URL: http://einstein.phys.uwm.edu/
  • Institution: Albert Einstein Institute, University of Wisconsin at Milwaukee
  • Official launch: 19-11-2004
  • Platforms: <platforms>http://einstein.phys.uwm.edu/</platforms>
  • Description: Search for spinning neutron stars (also called pulsars) using data from the LIGO and GEO gravitational wave detectors. Einstein@Home is a World Year of Physics 2005 project supported by the American Physical Society (APS) and by a number of international organizations.

Leiden Classical

  • URL: http://boinc.gorlaeus.net/
  • Institution: Leiden University
  • Official launch: 05-12-2005
  • Platforms: <platforms>http://boinc.gorlaeus.net/</platforms>
  • Description: Surface science calculations using Classical Dynamics. In contrast to other projects, Leiden Classical allows volunteers, students and other scientists to submit their personal calculations to the grid. Each user has his own personal queue for Classical Dynamics jobs. In this way students have used the grid to simulate liquid argon, or to test the validity of the ideal gas law by actually doing the simulations through the grid.

LHC@home

  • URL: http://lhcathome.cern.ch/lhcathome/
  • Institution: CERN (European Organization for Nuclear Research)
  • Official launch: 01-09-2004
  • Platforms: <platforms>http://lhcathome.cern.ch/lhcathome/</platforms>
  • Description: The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is a particle accelerator which is being built at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear research, the world's largest particle physics laboratory. When it switches on in 2008, the LHC will be the most powerful instrument ever built to investigate particle properties. LHC@home simulates particles traveling around the LHC to study the stability of their orbits.

SETI@home

  • URL: http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/
  • Institution: Berkeley Space Sciences Laboratory, University of California
  • Official launch: 22-06-2004
  • Platforms: <platforms>http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/</platforms>
  • Description: SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) is a scientific area whose goal is to detect intelligent life outside Earth. One approach, known as radio SETI, uses radio telescopes to listen for narrow-bandwidth radio signals from space. Such signals are not known to occur naturally, so a detection would provide evidence of extraterrestrial technology.

  • Institution: Purdue University
  • Official launch: 19-09-2005
  • Platforms: <platforms>http://www.ufluids.net/</platforms>
  • Description: The uFluids project simulates two-phase fluid behavior in microgravity and microfluidics problems. Our goal is to design better satellite propellant management devices and address two-phase flow in microchannel and MEMS devices.

Cels@Home

  • URL: http://cels-at-home-dev.dyndns.org/cels/
  • Institution: University of Texas at Austin
  • Official launch: 25-02-2008
  • Platforms: <platforms>http://cels-at-home-dev.dyndns.org/cels/</platforms>
  • Description: Cels@Home is a research project that uses Internet-connected computers to do research in cell adhesion. One of the many applications of this is in cancer research, as the point at which cancerous cells quit staying in place, and instead break free to move throughout the body, is a critical event that makes the disease much harder to treat.

Docking@Home

Malariacontrol.net

  • URL: http://www.malariacontrol.net
  • Institution: The Swiss Tropical Institute
  • Official launch: 19-12-2006
  • Platforms: <platforms>http://www.malariacontrol.net</platforms>
  • Description: Simulation models of the transmission dynamics and health effects of malaria are an important tool for malaria control. They can be used to determine optimal strategies for delivering mosquito nets, chemotherapy, or new vaccines which are currently under development and testing. Such modeling is extremely computer intensive, requiring simulations of large human populations with a diverse set of parameters related to biological and social factors that influence the distribution of the disease.

Predictor@home

  • URL: http://predictor.chem.lsa.umich.edu/
  • Institution: University of Michigan
  • Official launch: 12-06-2004
  • Platforms: <platforms>http://predictor.chem.lsa.umich.edu/</platforms>
  • Description: Protein structure prediction starts from a sequence of amino acids and attempts to predict the folded, functioning, form of the protein. Predicting the structure of an unknown protein is a critical problem in enabling structure-based drug design to treat new and existing diseases.

PS3Grid

  • URL: http://www.ps3grid.net/
  • Institution: University Pompeu Fabra
  • Official launch: 12-05-2007
  • Platforms: <platforms>http://www.ps3grid.net/</platforms>
  • Description: PS3GRID is a volunteer computing project on the PlayStation3 for full-atom molecular simulations of proteins.Your contribution is very important because our CellMD software runs over an order of magnitude faster on the PlayStation3 opening the way to innovative scientific experiments.

RALPH@Home

  • URL: http://ralph.bakerlab.org/
  • Institution: University of Washington
  • Official launch: 15-02-2006
  • Platforms: <platforms>http://ralph.bakerlab.org/</platforms>
  • Description: RALPH@home is the official alpha test project for Rosetta@home. New application versions, work units, and updates in general will be tested here before being used for production. The goal for RALPH@home is to improve Rosetta@home.

Rosetta@home

  • URL: http://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/
  • Institution: University of Washington
  • Official launch: 26-06-2005
  • Platforms: <platforms>http://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/</platforms>
  • Description: Determine the 3-dimensional shapes of proteins in research that may ultimately lead to finding cures for some major human diseases. By running Rosetta@home you will help us speed up and extend our research in ways we couldn't possibly attempt without your help. You will also be helping our efforts at designing new proteins to fight diseases such as HIV, Malaria, Cancer, and Alzheimer's.

Climateprediction.net

  • URL: http://climateprediction.net/
  • Institution: University of Oxford
  • Official launch: ?
  • Platforms: <platforms>http://climateprediction.net/</platforms>
  • Description: Investigates the approximations that have to be made in state-of-the-art climate models. By running the model thousands of times we hope to find out how the model responds to slight tweaks to these approximations - slight enough to not make the approximations any less realistic. This will allow us to improve our understanding of how sensitive our models are to small changes and also to things like changes in carbon dioxide and the sulphur cycle. This will allow us to explore how climate may change in the next century under a wide range of different scenarios.

ABC@home

  • URL: http://abcathome.com/
  • Institution: Mathematical Institute of Leiden University and Kennislink
  • Official launch: 21-11-2006
  • Platforms: <platforms>http://abcathome.com/</platforms>
  • Description: Search for 'abc-triples': positive integers a,b,c such that a+b=c, a < b < c, a,b,c have no common divisors and c > rad(abc), where rad(n) is the product of the distinct prime factors of n. The ABC conjecture says that there are only finitely many a,b,c such that log(c)/log(rad(abc)) > h for any real h > 1. The ABC conjecture is currently one of the greatest open problems in mathematics. If it is proven to be true, a lot of other open problems can be answered directly from it.

  • URL: http://www.enigmaathome.net/
  • Institution: unknown
  • Official launch: 09-09-2007
  • Platforms: <platforms>http://www.enigmaathome.net/</platforms>
  • Description: Enigma@Home is a wrapper between BOINC and Stefan Krah's M4 Project. The M4 Project is an effort to break 3 original Enigma messages with the help of distributed computing. The signals were intercepted in the North Atlantic in 1942 and are believed to be unbroken.

PrimeGrid

  • URL: http://www.primegrid.com
  • Institution: Private
  • Official launch: July 12, 2005

  • Description: Primegrid is generating a public sequential prime number database, and is searching for large twin primes of the form k*2n+1 and k*2n-1

Rectilinear Crossing Number

  • URL: http://dist.ist.tugraz.at/cape5/
  • Institution: Graz University of Technology
  • Official launch: 30-06-2006
  • Platforms: <platforms>http://dist.ist.tugraz.at/cape5/</platforms>
  • Description: What is the least number of crossings a straight-edge drawing of the complete graph on top of a set of n points in the plane obtains? From very recent (not even published yet) mathematical considerations the rectilinear crossing numbers for n=19 and n=21 are also known. So the most tantalizing problem now is to determine the true value for n=18, which is the main focus of this project.
