Dr. David Anderson (Director of SETI@home and BOINC) describes SETI@home, BOINC and Distributed Computing. BOINC is a simple software program that was developed by a team in Berkeley University California led by Dr David Anderson who started one of the original volunteer computing projects called SETI@home. BOINC was originally started back in the late 1990's but only became public in early 2000. Since it started, all most 10 million people around the world have downloaded and ran the BOINC program. Today there is about 1.5 million people running BOINC on their home or work PC's and putting their computers spare capacity to good use for science.

We will soon be migrating all PRPNet ports on prpnet.mine.nu over to the prpnet.primegrid.com server.

Since there are more ARM devices active for HAT, I increased the deadline to 3 days. 
I apologize for all whose WU's were cancelled today in the process of stopping the old ones and re-sending the new fixed ones.
At the beginning I didn't realize the effect and extend of the cancellation (since it was not intended to work this way), but I see now that many hours of computation and credits were lost due to this.
It seems to have been a bug in a script that had not been seen before until now, so we will refrain from using it until it has been fixed.
I realize that the computation time is very important for everyone so we hope that such hiccups won't happen too often in the future.
Many thanks for your patience and calculations! 
I just started:
de_separation_p-79-dr8-rev-2-5-9-2013
and am preparing
de_separation_p-82-dr8-rev-2-5-9-2013
Which should be starting shortly.

We have introduced a new SixTrack Version 4446 and I am resuming
production on an intensity scan as well as running more tests; usual
mixture of short/long run times. We are also trying to return more
results files to help identify problems. Thanks for your help as usual.

In September, the European Space Agency will begin the formal competition for its second "large" satellite mission, L2. The space-based gravitational-wave observatory eLISA (evolved Laser Interferometer Satellite Antenna) will be one of the contendors. There is 
Thus far, they are BOINC 7, only. I'm deciding whether it's safe to continue releasing BOINC 6 revisions of ATI apps. X64 Linux versions should be out shortly.
There are now two versions. One for HD5000+ cards only and that works on all cards including pre-HD5000 cards. These versions should get delivered to Catalyst version 12.10 and earlier, and Catalyst 13.2 and later. If you've got one of those driver revisions and aren't getting work, let me know. 
Happy crunching!
As announced, SIMAP is marathon discipline in the BOINC Pentathlon organized by seti-germany.de.
Many users had pre-calculated lots of results and are submitting them since the start of the pentathlon this morning. This causes a high load on the upload/download server, due to the limits in network and storage bandwidth. However, the whole system is functioning normally and generates continuously new workunits. We expect that the load will reduce soon, however it will remain at a substantial level during the Pentathlon until May 19.

We start solution of a new problem. The delay bound of the single job (deadline) has been extended to 7 days.
With best regards,
The Project Team. 
Due to a general network problem at the University the project was unavailable from 12:21 local time. 
The minirosetta_beta application has been updated to version 3.46. 
The next version of BOINC is now ready for public use.
