Yeah, I just happened to cruise over to the DC depository and see it at the bottom of the list. I must have missed it. Sorry. But, yeah, I think I will join. Although I am running short on spare cycles. 1 computer with F@H, Rosetta, and SETI running. I need to get some more comps. Building one in 2 months! It will be sweet and a freakin' monster for distributed computing.
WCG is a great place to contribute to. It's so much more friendly and upfront than the United Devices Cancer project. I was a member there for years before defecting to WCG.
And yes, we sure could use the help! Anyone else out there reading this, feel free to sign up!
tis the truth. i hope to be getting 2-3 more compies up and running soon (if i can get the time to get to King_Warg's to save his cluster from hitting the garbage bin.)
I have been running this for awhile for overclockers.com.
I have 2 pcs running 24/7 and 1 other one that I try to keep going 24/7 untill the wife shuts it down (her pc).
IIRC WCG does many different projects (like BOINC) where fah is a single project with it's own client. I think WCG does things ranging from protein folding (similar to fah) to fighting AIDS, to bird flu.
I'd like to see other members that are interested in DC projects join in on this. Of course, I am not trying to rob resources from our other DC teams but if ya got some spare change spare CPU cycles, maybe consider throwing some this way.
I read up on WCG. They use to use United Devices, which was a project by one of the SETI or BOINC founders. But over time, they went to all BOINC and canned UD. That's a testament to how good BOINC is for DC. Now only of F@H took the time to port their Uniproc CPU client to BOINC...
