Feel free to help me with the project descriptions and recommending different projects to add to the list. Thanks to sno.lcn, Karbon, THF, and everyone else for everything they have suggested.

[sno.lcn]

Maybe that's all of them except grid.org and I'm clueless about that. Here's the website for it though. (http://www.grid.org/home.htm)

[Karbon]

Great idea, looks like it will be easier to point people in the right direction this way. Maybe you could specificy what resources each project uses? I know folders for example will stay away from anything that uses cpu, but might lean toward dimes and red library.

[khiloa]

Good idea Karbon, and sno - I'll add those pretty quick (maybe not right this minute, but pretty soon :) This bbcode stuff can get pretty crazy - especially with the tiny little editor box :p)

edit:

Added the BOINC projects listed so far.

I know dimes barely uses any CPU, but most of the other ones do, right? MJ12 could be configured not to use much, but it still likes to use more than serious FAH guys would probably like.

[ohiosurfer]

WOW :drool:

Great work khiloa and sno.lcn. :beer:

Karbon, I agree this thread is going to be great for recruitment...people love one-stop-shopping. ;)

[Karbon]

Red Library doesn't use any cpu for me. I'm running 8 clients at the moment and they only use about 20mb ram each.

[khiloa]

I can go ahead an do the code and you can click the quote button and pull it straight from there when I'm all finished if you want.
The way you've done it so far is good, I can add them without much work. :)

[TollhouseFrank]

sweet! Great work guys!

[khiloa]

Just updated, should have all of them now. :)

[sno.lcn]

Nice work! I'll go ahead and delete my BOINC thread now (trying to neaten this place up a little:p)

[TollhouseFrank]

had a suggestion on this. How about breaking this up further into "Projects that use next to no CPU power and you can still do F@H/SETI/BOINC with" and "Projects that are CPU Intensive/You can't do F@H/SETI/BOINC with".

[sno.lcn]

Good idea, maybe like where it says "BOINC Projects" put one that says "No cpu usage" or something like that.

good idea, I don't think anyone else came up with that already. :)

(points in direction of my first post)

[sno.lcn]

(points in direction of my first post)
Oops, we must have forgotten about that. Anyway...Great idea karbon!:D

*Edit: I beat ya to it huh frank?

[TollhouseFrank]

oops... lol.... oh well... great minds think alike Karbon.. LOL

[khiloa]

I've been out of town for the past 36 hours on a last minute trip, but I'm back now, so I'll see what I can do. :p

[Karbon]

I wouldn't consider MJ-12 high cpu usage, but that is a personal opinion. It only uses cpu when archiving, and that can be set to low priority. I have it set to normal, and it usually finishes archiving in a few minutes. Even then, it only has to archive every 10-15 minutes or so when a bucket finishes.

eh, I guess it is somewhat high :beer:

[khiloa]

I just joined up with Tanpaku myself.

[sno.lcn]

I just joined up with Tanpaku myself.
:welcome: :attn:

[TollhouseFrank]

alright guys! Great info!

I'll see if i can't get this stickied for us.

[Hamm3r]

Great work guys, thats the info new folks need.

[sno.lcn]

OMG I love this thread so much. Some of these projects are so hard to find stats for(mainly world community grid) but now I can just hit this thread and all the stats links are at my fingertips. Now I don't have to have 20 different bookmarks for different project stats. However, I'm usually in a hurry for some reason, and hate having to look for it. Is this thing going to be stickied any time soon?

[TollhouseFrank]

i pm'd david over AIM about it... but he may not have gotten it. i'll ask him again soon.

[khiloa]

I'm glad you guys like it.

[sno.lcn]

We've been doing really well in all of our projects lately, all of our points at the vault have been in the green. XtremeSystems is only about 400 points behind us though. I was going to move some projects around and try and start a new one or two but I think everything is doing to most good where I have it so the only thing I can think to do is build up the farm some more. I think I'm going to start a new project on the rig running simap since there's a bunch of people doing that project, and I think it's starting new projects that gives us the most points. I think I'll give d2ol another shot.
BTW, you guys have been doing an awesome job in all the projects each one of you is crunching for.:beer:

[TollhouseFrank]

woot!

[sno.lcn]

We got passed by xtremesystems but hopefully we'll soon be able to overtake them again.

*Edit: Our D2OL team is at the vault now, should see some points soon if I configured the client correctly.

*Edit: That netted us over 8k points!

Thanks khiloa!

[sno.lcn]

I just read at free-dc stats that the following projects favor these procs:

Climate prediction - Athlon
Prime95 - p4
OGR-25 - Athlon
RC5-72 - Athlon/PowerPC
Seventeen or Bust - Xeon/P4 esp. w/ HT

[sno.lcn]

Got another project up and running, rusty just added it to the vault so we should (hopefully) see a pretty big jump in points at the next update.

If you could please add this next time you get a chance khiloa:

Thanks khiloa!

[TollhouseFrank]

nice sno!

Man... makes me wish i could get my whole farm back up and crunchin' away.

[Karbon]

isnt moneybee doing work for the german stock market?

[sno.lcn]

I think it does more than just german one now. It has dow and nasdaq.

[khiloa]

Finally added MoneyBee and D2OL. :)

[sno.lcn]

Got another one for ya!

They can call us butter because we're on a roll:burn:

[khiloa]

lol :rolleyes:

[Merlin7777]

I am pretty sure that World community grid no longer runs on Boinc. When you go to their website, they have you download their own seperate client.

Just thought I would let you know.

[sno.lcn]

It's been like that for a while but it still works in boinc.

[Merlin7777]

Really? So you just do the old, point BOINC to the website thing as usual. That's funny, because there is no mention what so ever about it on the WCG website.
OK, thanks sno.lcn

[sno.lcn]

I forgot how I figured out it'll run on boinc, maybe from the main boinc page or something. If I remember correctly, I never could get the non-boinc client to work right:shrug:

[David]

[sno.lcn]

Sweet! Thanks David.

Leiden Classical is taking new members now, if someone makes a team I'll put one on it :)

[Crash893]

you forgot to put prime95 up at the top

its got a lot of user base behind it

but its not as pretty as thouse other flashy programs

[vaiopup]

splat

Photoshop plug-in :)

[TollhouseFrank]

nice looking list guys! Hopefully in the future, we can get nice teams going on each of them!

[Karbon]

yeah...it looks like dimes and red library are dead

[ffzen]

Really? You mean these 2 projects have closed down?

[Karbon]

Not officially, but readyresponse's site and servers seem to be down, and the same with netdimes

edit: it looks like the dimes site is back up, not sure about the stats though

[rebturtle]

Can we have an edit to the first post to show links to the Overclockers.com teams for these projects? :)

[ohiosurfer]

I have an update for ya...

The BBC Climate Change Experiment has closed to new users however, you can still participate in the climateprediction.net experiment.

I'm not sure how it should be labeled, but we don't want to waste anyone's time.

[ohiosurfer]

Here's a new BOINC project (still in beta) that I think should be on the list.

Spinhenge@home - Homepage (http://spin.fh-bielefeld.de/)
Project Goal: The study of molecular magnets and controlled nanoscale magnetism. These magnetic molecules may be used to develop tiny magnetic switches, with applications in medicine (such as local tumor chemotherapy) and biotechnology.
Stats Link: http://spin.fh-bielefeld.de/team_display.php?teamid=234
Platforms: Windows

I've been running it for about 12 hours now with no problems. The work units are tiny (about 1 hour) so if you need constant gratification, this is the project for you.

[ffzen]

So it looks like Red Library is really gone.
Well, it hasn't been up for a long time.
Dc-vault also eliminated it from their list a couple of weeks ago.

[Karbon]

Yeah, for the time being it is dead. I read on their forums that they are working on v2.0, but there is no set release date now

[TollhouseFrank]

that sucks... oh well.. I"m sure we can find anothe rproject
