Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) Distributed Computing Project
Project goal is a single run-time environment that ties together several networked supercomputers. Intended users are the community of scientists and engineers addressing "grand challenge" computations.
PCP@HOME
A distributed project to find short Post Correspondence Problems with large shortest solutions.
Power of Supercomputer on a Desktop
Grid computing analogy, meaning, capabilities, uses and limitations.
P2P Distributed Computing Framework
JNGI is a open-source generic P2P distributed computing framework.
Quite Advanced Distributed Parallel Zystem (QADPZ)
The system allows the management/use of the computational power of idle computers in a network. Based on a client-master-slave architecture, using message based communication.
Repdigit Prime Problems, The
Distributed Computing Project aimed towards finding prime numbers of the form n*k. This project uses the software Primeform to test workunits.
Repository of Grid Research Projects
News and resources on grid computing.
Rosetta@home
BOINC project to predict and design protein structures and protein-protein and protein-ligand interactions. The goal is to develop methods that accurately predict and design protein structures and complexes.
SDSC Matrix Project for P2P Grid Workflows
The SDSC Matrix Project performs research and open-sourced development to deliver the grid workflow protocols and workflow language descriptions necessary to build a peer-to- peer infrastructure for Grid Workflow Management Systems.
12121 Search
Help this distributed computing project by donating CPU cycles to find primes of the form 121*2^N-1.
Search for Fermat Number Dividers
Screensaver program tries to find divisors of Fermat numbers.
The Small Internet GFN Prime Search
Help search for primes of the form b^8192+1(b > 99999999).
The Virtual Laboratory Project
Engaged in research, design, and development of Grid technologies that help in solving large-scale compute and data intensive science applications in the area of molecular biology.
World Community Grid
Mission is to create the largest public computing grid benefiting humanity. Currently supporting the Human Proteome Folding project to provide scientists with data that predicts the shape of a very large number of human proteins.
XGrid@Stanford
Project of a postdoctoral fellow in Brian Kobilka's lab, in the Molecular and Cellular Physiology department, Stanford University running large calculations, the purpose being to modelize the conformational changes of the beta 2 adrenergic receptor and have a better understanding of its pharmacology. Runs through Mac OSX-only software called XGrid. How to install and configure the software, news about the project, and a FAQ.
American Scientist: Collective Wisdom
Article discusses the "early days" (pre-1998) of distributed computing projects, explains the basics of how they work and how to get them to work well, describes some early successes, and considers how CPU cycles may someday become a commodity to be bought, sold or traded. (March, 1998)
The ChessBrain Network
Distributed network chess experiment. Intends to create a single playing program using donated time.
ClimatePrediction.Net
Large-scale simulation where each participant is given one slightly different scenario to run. Those that successfully model past weather patterns will be more likely to accurately predict the future.
Compute Against Cancer
Corporate-sponsored project exploring cancer development, prevention and treatment. [Windows 95/98/NT/2000/ME]
Computing Minimum Equal Sums of Like Power
Includes client software download, computation records, and project description on its research into mathematical problems.
