LHC@home 2.0 launched

We are announcing the start of beta testing of the first
second-generation LHC@home project.
It is the first of what is expected to be a series of physics
applications running on the
LHC@home 2.0
Volunteer Cloud platform.
This is a test project, to demonstrate the use of virtual machines using
the CERN-developed
CernVM
technology inside BOINC systems to perform
fully-fledged LHC physics event simulation on volunteer computers.
All LHC@home volunteers are welcome to join the beta testing, which will
initially accept about 1000 active helpers. Full information for joining
is given at:
