The SZTAKI project explained
What is it?
SZTAKI is a hungarian distributed computing project running on the boinc platform. Currently is doing mathematical research, searching for generalized binary number systems up to dimension 11, but the original intent for the future is to be able to support a wide range of different distributed computing applications and not only mathematical ones.
Where is it?
The project website (http://szdg.lpds.sztaki.hu/szdg/) is mostly in hungarian language, which is hard to understand by many people, but the boinc nature makes almost all its project websites look alike, so you don't need to learn hungarian to be able to navigate through the website.
How can I join?
You can create an account to participate directly in our Team here (http://szdg.lpds.sztaki.hu/szdg/create_account_form.php?teamid=34)
From top to bottom, the 4 boxes that you have to fill in with info, are asking your name, email address, country and postal code (this is optional)
After filling in your info and clicking on the button on the bottom to proceed, SZTAKI will ask you to copy your boinc ID to complete your account activation. In a few minutes you'll receive an email with the necessary boinc ID, which you'll have to copy and paste to the box presented and press the button again to proceed.
Then you'll be presented with the question if this is the first boinc project you are running, of if you already run other boinc projects. Click the first link if this is your first boinc project ever, or click the second if you run other boinc projects already.
Afterwards it will ask you to set a number for resource share of this project and the computer location. In doing that, the account creation is fully complete and you can go to your boinc and attach the new project.
Remember to keep the long Boinc ID code somewhere safe. You most likely will need it in the future again, for accessing your account on the website, or for attaching the project on other computers.
Conclusion
And... that is that. Overall speaking, SZTAKI is a very stable project, where lack of work is very rare, and the project administrators strive to keep the system up and running at all times.
A great project, where you can participate and not need to know a single word of hungarian.
As it is a relatively new project, our Team is still giving it's first steps. The opportunity to shine on top is at reach of anyone who dedicates a few crunchers for us on this project.
And that could be you! :cool:
