Here's another new project for us to play with, altough with the boinc competition running this may not be the best moment. :P
http://boinc.vtu.lt/vtuathome/
The site doesn't reveal much about the project, no message boards, no Q&A... In order to find out what was this about I had to personally email the project supervisor (see link on bottom of the page)
In reply to my email, Aurimas Norkevicius (project supervisor/administrator) said that this was merely a test project for him to practive development on the boinc platform. This project is running just a simple application that counts how many prime numbers are there in a given range. However, Norkevicius said that he intends to launch real projects soon for boinc, altough he didn't specify on what field of research. We'll just have to wait for it... :roll:
Bottomline:
- The project is up and running
- It's just a test project (no scientific value)
- Account creation is open
- There is work
- Workunits are quick (around 1 hour on an XP2000+)
- And we got a team there, so far ranked 1st :cool:
If you create an account through the boinc wizard, don't forget to go to the Team page and join us. ;)
Here is our Team:
