Distributed computing, do you support?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around support for distributed computing projects like BOINC, with a focus on SETI@home, Climateprediction.net, and LCH@home. Participants share their experiences with these projects, highlighting the benefits of contributing to scientific research through unused computing power. One user expresses interest in establishing a server farm for parallel computing. Concerns are raised about hardware risks, particularly overheating issues when running intensive tasks on laptops, as evidenced by a friend's experience with an AMD processor. The conversation invites others to share their involvement and knowledge about distributed computing initiatives.

Just curious to know if you guys here support Distributed computing?

like boinc. do you?

and what particular project do you support.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
I used to run SETI alot. What I eventually want to set up is some kind of a cheap server farm that will do parallel computing on that.
 
Cool, now i know you are also helpful human being here.

how about the other members here do they know about it?

or are you the one support SETI?
 
I've forgotten the name, but does anyone here no of the virus/bot thing that is running on like over a few million computers world wide, effectively a super computer. Don't quote me on that number of comps though.
 
I run SETI@home, Climateprediction.net and LCH@home.

I've had my power computer down for a while now, so I haven't been running it much lately. One friend of mine wanted to get involved and made the mistake of running it on his laptop with and AMD processor. After about one month CPU completely died due to overheating (at least that's what I assume happened). We popped a new one in got it working.
 
Just ONCE, I wanted to see a post titled Status Update that was not a blatant, annoying spam post by a new member. So here it is. Today was a good day here in Northern Wisconsin. Fall colors are here, no mosquitos, no deer flies, and mild temperature, so my morning run was unusually nice. Only two meetings today, and both went well. The deer that was road killed just down the road two weeks ago is now fully decomposed, so no more smell. Somebody has a spike buck skull for their...
