After a long frozen state, it’s a pleasant surprise that the DENIS@home website has been restored and attaching to the project is possible again. No work available yet, but a beta test app created on 1 Nov 2021 shows promise.
Jesús Carro wrote:We’re back! Not 100% yet, but we want to start testing the app and fixing any issues that may arise. We have just released a small batch of tasks to see how it works (almost 1000 simulations). If all goes well, when those will be finished, we will send a package with approximately 40,000 simulations.
For Nov 16th to Nov 22nd 2021 SETI.Germany is arranging a challenge at World Community Grid on the occasion of the grids 17th birthday:
We would like to invite BOINC Synergy to participate in the challenge and hope that your team and many members of your team will be joining and participting this event. !!Be aware, only your WCG-Team-Captain can join your team to the challenge!! https://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/team … geId=10477
All WCG points of the Mapping Cancer Markers (MCM) sub-project that were credited during the challenge are counted, even if the WU was already calculated before the start of the challenge. However, WUs that are pending at the end of the challenge cannot be taken into account!
The Ramanujan Machine – A Collection Of Algorithms That Aims To Discover Conjectures On Fundamental Constants Is Now On BOINC Over the last few years, our group has been developing the concept of the Ramanujan Machine, a collection of algorithms that aims to automatically discover conjectures on mathematical constants.
We’re very excited to announce that a first experimental (beta) version of the Ramanujan Machine is now on BOINC!
If you’re running Ubuntu 20.04 or higher, and excited about experimental mathematics, we’d love it if you join us and help us discover new conjectures (and bugs ).
Big and Ugly Rendering Project is a non-commercial distributed computing project using the BOINC framework that is now in hibernation. It was under development to work as a publicly distributed system for the rendering of 3D graphics and, among other short animations, rendered Big Buck Bunny. BOINC volunteers that contributed CPU cycles were individually acknowledged in the end credits. We were asked whether we wanted our real names or our BOINC user names listed.
End Credits wrote:A VERY SPECIAL THANKS TO All of the collaborative online renderfarm contributors…
Hey man, thank you so much for posting this here! While it may sound unusual considering my age, I’ve been a big fan of the Big Buck Bunny ever since it appeared on screens! I must admit that I’ve never heard of this BOINC thing before, but it looks very interesting indeed. How much time did you spend creating it? I’m a beginner in 3D graphics, and I’m always fascinated when I spot projects of this quality. Thanks for inspiring me! I will try to create something myself as soon as I get my computer back from the PC data recovery service. Cheers!
Working with distributed systems to render 3D graphics can be challenging. There are a lot of factors to consider, such as latency and bandwidth. But with careful planning and execution, it is possible to create a system that is both fast and efficient. I see you did a great job, and I am surprised by the quality of your work. I recommend you post your work on https://forgehub.net, and maybe you will find a team to work on better projects and make more money. Also, there you can find a lot of useful software for you.

nanoHUB is a research project, based at nanoHUB.org, that uses Internet-connected computers to do research in nanoscience and nanotechnology.
This project supports over 200 simulation tools deployed at nanoHUB.org. These tools are used for both education and research, and they enable simulations that can run in a few minutes or over several hours. The memory requirements can also vary widely, depending on the input parameters to the simulation.
The goal of this project is to connect volunteer computing to the simulation needs of nanoHUB, an online science gateway focused on nanotechnology. The nanoHUB simulation community includes 16000+ users who run 1.2M+ jobs on 500+ simulation tools each year.
This is another senior BOINC project that has worked on several mostly math based research projects. Gerasim@Home is presently doing math research involving Latin Squares. They often have several live applications running and the current list is here: https://gerasim.boinc.ru/users/viewApps.aspx
Applications boincserver currently has the following applications. When you participate in boincserver, tasks for one or more of these applications will be assigned to your computer. The current version of the application will be downloaded to your computer. This happens automatically; you don’t have to do anything.

These are a few saved pages that Pirates@Home redirected to for an April Fool prank in 2008. It was a clone of the Pirates site with a monkey template overlay.
The inspiration came from Chief Petty Officer Stainless Cutlass (Jord) when he mentioned that when he visited Pirates@Home shortly before this, he was strangely seeing Primates@Home instead.
It was a great adventure browsing the site to see the witty monkey alterations. An example was that users avatars were replaced with monkey themed pics.
This was mine:
