Nope. I give most of my time to World Community Grid and GPU Grid. Such a shame that the maths ones are so disproportionate.

@pongley: Veteran participants in BOINC heavily discount the accomplishments of the GPU billionaires.

@Sid2 - You have to embrace technology. A GPU will out perform a CPU at the same task any day .

@phqchevys: Problem is that GPU is available on only very limited applications. CPU's still rule.

AFAIK the applications that currently use GPUs can only work with floating point values which become unreliable over time...

...So tasks have to be quite small which means a LOT of extra work for developers, especially if they still want CPU work.

Has Climate Prediction always been prone to long outages? They've had at least two significant outages in the last few weeks.

@pongley: GPU programming isn't limited by FP issues, it is the parallel nature of the project that is required.

@phqchevys: Cool - I'm a Mopar fanatic, but I had a 69 Merc. Cougar Xr7, w/351W4V & FMX; I loved that car.

According to sources, there's a RAID issue at CPDN. See the "News on Project Outages" thread at Boinc Berkeley for more.

@ Sid2 Thanks for that, gone for Rosetta as I think I have a clue what they're doing!

@Nick Perry: SIMAP's building a database of protein structures so that scientists can readily find similarities to exploit.

@pongleyOK I think I can get my head round that. That will be the next in line.
