University of Oxford researchers who used distributed-computing software to identify molecules that could potentially treat anthrax submitted their results last week to the U.S. and British ...

Well f@h exposed me to an interesting range of issues. First off, good luck getting work units unless you have a super high end machine. I've read the logs and the work units and many specify more ...

A month after Sony launched a PlayStation 3 update with support for the Folding@home distributed computing project, Stanford University is calling the response from console owners "phenomenal." Since ...

Distributed computing is all the rage and some of the scientific projects underway look like they might well enable profound advances. The big question is how do we make it worthwhile for people and ...

I've been wondering about this for some time. It's been years since the first massive distributed computing project. We have "searched for signs of extra-terrestrial intelligence", attempted to find ...

A special project to accelerate the hunt for a cure for anthrax by harnessing PCs around the globe using a distributed computing model was unveiled today. In an announcement today, the National ...

We present the project Asteroids@home that uses distributed computing to solve the time-consuming inverse problem of shape reconstruction of asteroids. The project uses the Berkeley Open ...

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency is funding a proof-of-concept study at Virginia Tech to develop highly connected computer systems that operate in a wireless environment. Small handheld ...

The Enigma@home project uses a distributed volunteer computing network to crack Nazi codes from the 1940s. You can donate your spare PC processing power to dozens of ...
