*Closed beta testing of Nano-Hive@Home by a small team of BOINC experts continues. Open enrollment for beta testing is delayed while an issue that prevents proper WU processing on some computers is resolved.
*In the meantime, feel free to peruse the website.

There are so many "Nano" projects.. My head is still spinning.. Thanks mate

So many...

This one : http://orbit.psi.edu/
Is only linux and doesn't accept new clients.
Stats doesn't show testing very popular... :
http://orbit.psi.edu/top_teams.php :rolleyes:

This one : http://lattice.umiacs.umd.edu/boinc/
is waited in the coming months :o

This one : http://www.planetquest.org/download/
says you can help by making a tax-deductible donation (http://www.planetquest.org/support) :jester:

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

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.

I got this e-mail :


NanoHive@Home begins another run on Monday, January 29

Hello,

NanoHive@Home (NHAH) is starting another run and WUs will be submitted to the queue on Monday, January 29. This next run will be a search for failure modes on 25 published dimer tooltips (like those seen in the nanofactory animation) and should provide for a couple months of solid work. It will be more like a typical BOINC project: there will be no restriction on the number of WUs you can process, all the WUs will be queued more or less at once, so there won't be any WU brown-outs while waiting for batches to complete, and WU deadlines are approximately one week.

Plus, the client now calculates the % Complete value, so it won't confuse your WU scheduling - there's even a progress bar.

Details about the project will be added to the website over the remainder of this week. Also, small batches of WUs will be queued throughout this week that are needed for the generation of next Monday's WUs. Credit will be granted for them per usual.

Guidelines.

Thank-you,
