BOINC-Donate computing power

#1 Post by PeterSieg »

Hi.

Donate computing power

BOINC lets you donate computing power to scientific research projects such as:

* Climateprediction.net: study climate change
* Einstein@home: search for gravitational signals emitted by pulsars
* LHC@home: improve the design of the CERN LHC particle accelerator
* Predictor@home: investigate protein-related diseases
* Rosetta@home: help researchers develop cures for human diseases
* SETI@home: Look for radio evidence of extraterrestrial life

Find more information and the software ready to run (also for Puppy) here:
http://boinc.berkeley.edu/

What I did:
1. download the linux/x86 self-extracting software to say $HOME
2. sh <software_downloaded.sh>; creates dir BOINC
3. cd BOINC; ./boincmgr (start mgr app; internet connection needed!)
4. Enter the designated project url. Ex.: http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/
5. Enter your e-mail address and a passwort to create a account.
--done--

PS
Have fun :)
