==Active Projects==

  • .
  • CommunityTSC [http://www.childhooddiseases.org/] uses Sengents CommunityOS to help make drugs to treat patients with TSC.
  • .
  • D2OL [http://www.d2ol.com/] works to discover drug candidates against Anthrax, Smallpox, Ebola and SARS and other potentially devastating infectious diseases.
  • DHEP [http://dhep.dbestern.com/] is a project for automatically designing self-diagnosing hardware.
  • DIMES [http://www.netdimes.org] is a distributed computing project which maps the structure and evolution of the Internet infrastructure, allowing users to see how the Internet looks from their home.
  • -72 encryption. They have also completed many previous encryption projects.
  • [http://www.EinsteinAtHome.org/] Gravitational wave project
  • Electric Sheep [http://ww.electricsheep.org/] Screen-saver for animating and evolving artificial life-forms.
  • Find-a-drug [http://www.find-a-drug.org/frame.html] is a non-profit organisation using Internet-based computing for drug discovery. Preliminary results from the Cancer and HIV projects are very promising. More information [http://www.find-a-drug.org/news.html here.]
  • are demonstrably accurate.
  • Great Internet Mersenne Prime Search -- Great Internet Mersenne Prime Search, dedicated to finding ever larger Mersenne primes.
  • project for large scale research studies (mostly medical) with over three million computers working under it.
  • Java Heterogeneous Distributed Computing [http://www.cs.may.ie/~tkeane/distributed/index.php] -- Open source programmable Java distributed computing system.
  • based system.
  • [http://www.majestic12.co.uk/ Majestic-12 Distributed Search Engine project] works towards creation of the largest WWW search engine index on the Internet.
  • MoneyBee [http://www.moneybee.net/] Generates stock forecasts by application of artificial intelligence with the aid of artificial neural networks.
  • .
  • to factor increasingly large integers.
  • OurGrid [http://www.ourgrid.org] The OurGrid Project aims to deliver grid technology that can be used today by current users to solve present problems. To achieve this goal, OurGrid chooses a different trade-off compared to most grid projects. It forfeits supporting arbitrary applications in favor of supporting only Bag-of-Tasks applications.
  • that was created in order to divine the existence of unknown celestial bodies within our galaxy.
  • Predictor at home [http://predictor.scripps.edu/] A project predicting protein structures from their sequences
  • The they have found 26 primes and are attempting to find 75 more.
  • [http://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/] A project to predict and design protein structures.
  • . So far primes in 8 sequences have been found.
  • ).
  • United Devices Cancer Research Project [http://www.grid.org/projects/cancer/] A project to find drugs to cure cancer.
  • [http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/projects_showcase/about_the_project.html].

    • ==Inactive Projects==

  • . — completed
  • FAFNER — completed
  • [http://fightaidsathome.scripps.edu] a project to fight HIV. — on hold
  • [http://gah.stanford.edu/] Due to funding, was shut down. It now acts as a deadline-less work unit server for — completed
  • Lifemapper [http://www.Lifemapper.org] Attempted to build global archive of biological species distributions. — completed
  • due to findings by Wang, Feng, Lai, and Yu. Read more at [http://eprint.iacr.org/2004/199.pdf http://eprint.iacr.org/2004/199.pdf]. — completed
  • Operation Project X originally The Neo Project, was an effort to discover the encryption key for Xbox software by brute force, to allow homebrew (and effectively pirated) software to run on the platform without a modchip. Since it is a 2048 bit key, the project by its own admission was very unlikely to succeed, and was shut down presumably for legal reasons a few months after its debut — incomplete

    • =Physical infrastructure projects=

    These projects attempt to make large physical computation infrastructures available for researchers to use:
