I deleted the other thread, so I'm re doing it again.

:bateyes:

Just found this one.

It's a Boinc. Seems being a Prime searching project.

Home page :

They're opened to new participants. They provide xml stats...

I didn't crunch to much on it. If someone did...
(Can't make tests next month. Will be on vacations ).

Chess960 is a young innovative chess variant. In Chess960, just before the start of every game, the initial configuration of the chess pieces is determined randomly, that means that the king, the queen, the rook, the bishop and the knight are not necessarily placed on the same home squares as in classical chess. Since a few years there are World Championsships taking place in "Chess Classic Mainz" event in August every year. GM Peter Svidler is the current Champion.
In this project we try to combine Chess960 and the idea of distributed computing. With the BOINC software framework from the University of Berkeley exists a platform we want to use in this project to perform these computing intensive tasks. With it we want to give this chess variant some basics in theory of this game. We know the fascination of this chess variant is the incredible amount of variations. That will not change with this project but some guidelines seems to be useful in each starting position.

Introduction
NanoHive@Home is a distributed computing system used to simulate large-scale nanotech systems that draws its computing power from otherwise idle computers sitting in people's homes. Users download and install a special client program onto their computer, and when the computer's screensaver comes on, the client program requests some work from a NanoHive@Home server, calculates it with the NanoHive simulator, then sends the results back to the server.

The goal of NanoHive@Home is to accurately simulate nanosystems too large to be calculated via normal means, and thereby enable further scientific study in the field of nanotechnology.

Here are some key points about NanoHive@Home with links to more detailed explanations:

Completely open-source (http://www.nanohive-1.org/atHome/simulation_software.php#oss) and free (as in beer)
Not-for-profit, and with all results (http://www.nanohive-1.org/atHome/results_gallery.php) made available to the public domain, free and clear
Benefits humanity by advancing our knowledge (http://www.nanohive-1.org/atHome/benefits_to_humanity.php) and understanding of nanotechnology
Calculations are performed with state-of-the-art simulation software (http://www.nanohive-1.org/atHome/simulation_software.php) making the most use of your donated computing power
Attention to security and safety (http://www.nanohive-1.org/atHome/security_safety.php)so that you can run our software without worrying that it will damage your computer
Interesting and interactive graphics and screensaver (http://www.nanohive-1.org/atHome/screensaver_graphics.php)that shows more of the simulation results as they become available
Uses the popular Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing (BOINC (http://boinc.berkeley.edu/)) platform so you can contribute via a familiar interface




Please Note:
11/02/2006
NanoHive@Home (NHAH) is currently in beta testing. Credit earned while testing this beta software is real and will persist once NHAH is in full production.
Notification of the next round of beta testing, to take place in January, 2007, will be emailed to participants.
We greatly appreciate your efforts and patience in testing NHAH.

About Eternity2.net
Eternity2.net is an exciting new project that uses Internet-connected computers to try to solve the EternityII™ (http://www.eternityii.com/) puzzle.
You can participate by downloading and running a free program on your computer. This program is hosted by the BOINC (http://boinc.berkeley.edu/) framework - the same reliable, secure framework that is used for a large number of other distributed projects. (such as seti@home). The BOINC framework ensures you can contribute your CPU cycles in a safe manner, within the parameters that you specify.
Eternity2.net is organised by Dave Clark in Auckland, New Zealand, when he isn't working or spending time with his wife and two young children.
Frequently Asked Questions FAQ (http://eternity2.net/faq.php).

Prize Money
The EternityII™ puzzle has a US$2,000,000 prize for the first correct solution. See the official EternityII™ website.
If your computer solves the puzzle first, you will win (http://eternity2.net/share.php) $1,000,000!
