DepSpid 2007 WinXP-98 Every DepSpid task is processed in two phases:

Networking phase (Phase One)

During this non-cpu intensive phase the DepSpid spider will scan a set of web pages and store the results in a temporary database for later processing during Phase Two.

A DepSpid task consists of multiple jobs. The exact number of jobs per task may vary but usually will be between 10 and 50. A job normally is a domain, subdomain or a directory under a domain. During Phase One the DepSpid spider cycles through the jobs of a task to limit the load it makes on the visited servers.

Every job will start downloading the main page of the domain/subdomain and the corresponding robots.txt (if available). The downloaded page will then be scanned for links (and some other parts). Each of this links will be validated with a HTTP HEAD request. The dependency between the page and its links will be stored into a temporary database. The spider will follow each link that belongs to the domain where it started and will these pages like the main page if they are not excluded by the robots.txt. Links that would leave the original domain will be marked as external links and will not be processed further by this job.

A job will end when there is no more link to visit or when one of the predefined limits is reached. Current limits are the level (deepness), the number of visited links and the amount of bytes transferred.

Phase One is non-cpuintensive but will use more or less of your network bandwidth. If the internet connection is closed the network phase will be suspended until the internet connection is available again. Normally, Phase One will take only a few seconds or minutes for each job but may run over a few hours or days depending on the speed of your internet connection and the response times of the visited server.

Computational phase (Phase Two)

This phase doesn't require an internet connection but will use more cpu time. As BOINC doesn't allow switching between non-cpuintensive phases and normal processing phases, this phase will be processed as it would be non-cpuintensive. This means that it will run permanently and not toggle as normal BOINC projects would do. However, DepSpid will respect your ressource share settings. It calculates the relation between the cpu time and the wall clock time and will fall into sleep if the value is higher than the preferred ressource share.

Please note: Respecting your ressource share only works this way with BOINC version 5.5.6 and higher. Older clients will be able to participate until one of the new client versions leaves the development state but will use a fixed resource share which may be far away from your true settings.

Phase Two uses the data collected during Phase One and calculates the dependencies between all pages..

After all dependencies have been calculated, the dependencies to external links that meet a predefined threshold will be reported to the project server and merged into its main database.

Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP) 2007 WinXP, Linux The Travelling salesman problem (TSP); for a given set of cites, visit each city once (once and only once) and minimize the distance you travel. This deceptively simple problem is trivial given a small set of cities, however, as you add more cities the number of possible paths goes through the roof.

DNA@Home 2010-04-14   The new versions allow for different motif types which basically different models for how a binding site could look like. One is palindromic, where the nucleotides in the beginning of the model have their complement at the end of the model, so for example: ATACGCGTAT is palindromic (in DNA, A binds to T, and C binds to G). One reason for using this model is a palindromic binding site could be attached to by a protein from either direction and from either side of the DNA.

The other model type is reverse complement, which doesn't assume the model to be palindromic, but looks for either the forward version of the model or the reverse version of the model (so in fact it's really looking for two models), for example: AAAATTTCCG CGGAAATTTT are the reverse complement of each other.

Rectilinear Crossing Number 2006-06-30 WinXP, Linux The main goal of the current project is to use sophisticated mathematical methods (abstract extension of order types) to determine the rectilinear crossing number for small values of n. So far we have been successful for n <= 17. From very recent (not even published yet) mathematical considerations the rectilinear crossing numbers for n=19 and n=21 are also known. So the most tantalizing problem now is to determine the true value for n=18, which is the main focus of this project.

An updated list for the best point sets known so far can be found at http://www.ist.tugraz.at/staff/aichholzer/crossings.html.

VTU@home, VGTU@home 2006-04-13 WinXP, Linux Vilnius Gediminas Technical University The aim of this project is to provide a powerful distributed computing platform for scientists of Vilnius Gediminas Technical University (VGTU) as well as others Lithuanian academic institutions. The project is being run by a group of scientists from VGTU
  • Prof. Raimondas Čiegis, VGTU Department of Mathematical Modelling,
  • Dr. Vadimas Starikovičius (vs@vgtu.lt), VGTU Laboratory of Parallel Computing.

Our goal is to persuade scientists to use this kind of computations in their research and to assist them in preparing BOINC applications. We hope that scientific applications from various fields will be attractive to many current and future BOINC community volunteers and this will allow us to accumulate enough computing resources to achieve significant (unachievable otherwise) results.

Chess960athome 2006-03-20   Chess960 is a young innovative chess variant. In Chess960, just before the start of every game, the initial configuration of the chess pieces is determined randomly, that means that the king, the queen, the rook, the bishop and the knight are not necessarily placed on the same home squares as in classical chess. Since a few years there are World Championships taking place in "Chess Classic Mainz" event in August every year. GM Peter Svidler is the current Champion. In this project we try to combine Chess960 and the idea of distributed computing. With the BOINC software framework from the University of Berkeley exists a platform we want to use in this project to perform these computing intensive tasks. With it we want to give this chess variant some basics in theory of this game. We know the fascination of this chess variant is the incredible amount of variations. That will not change with this project but some guidelines seems to be useful in each starting position.

DistrRTgen   By distributing the generation of rainbow chains, we can generate HUGE rainbow tables that are able to crack longer passwords than ever seen before.

Furthermore, we are also improving the rainbow table technology, making them even smaller and faster than rainbow tables found elsewhere, and the best thing is, those tables are freely available to download here

Chess@Home 2014-01-05   Michal Stanislaw Wojcik The purpose of this project is to construct a chess wining position classifier (or score estimator) based on some simple features (e.g. the number of pieces of each kind, number of squares controlled by given side, numbers of checks that you can give in a position and so on) The first goal of the project is to establish how far we can get with relatively cheap methods of position evaluation and simple data mining methods (e.g. logistic regression, k-nearest neighbors, SVM, decision trees). The second goal is to use more advance machine learning techniques for recognition of winning position to emulate human behaviour of various levels of chess proficiency.

eOn2   A common problem in theoretical chemistry, condensed matter physics and materials science is the calculation of the time evolution of an atomic scale system where, for example, chemical reactions and/or diffusion occur. Generally the events of interest are quite rare (many orders of magnitude slower than the vibrational movements of the atoms), and therefore direct simulations, tracking every movement of the atoms, would take thousands of years of computer calculations on the fastest present day computer before a single event of interest can be expected to occur, hence the name eon, which is an indefinitely long period of time.

Our research group is interested in calculating the long time dynamics of systems.

SimOne@home   The project focuses on the osmoprotection phenomenon. In nature there are small molecules that are able to protect proteins, for example by thermal stress. Thanks to these molecules in nature we can find plants able to survive without water, or bacteria able to survive in extreme environmental conditions. And how is this possible? Answering this question could have a major impact in agriculture, e.g. developing plants that require less water intake. The project uses the most advanced modeling techniques to study, at molecular level, the action of osmoprotectants.

LHC Test4Theory 2011  
vLHCathome 2011 This is a project that utilizes the CERN-developed CernVM virtual machine and the BOINC virtualization layer to harness volunteer cloud computing power for full-fledged LHC event physics simulation on volunteer computers.

The theory simulations that have been running as Test4Theory since 2011, were the first of a series of physics applications running on the LHC@home platform. Soon the theory simulations will be followed by more simulations from the LHC experiment collaborations. These applications exploit virtual machine technology, enabling volunteers to contribute to the huge computational task of searching for new fundamental particles and physics at CERN's LHC.
