A new project popped up investigating high energy physics, originating in China, more specifically at the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
The objective of CAS@home is to encourage and assist scientists in China to adopt the technologies of volunteer computing and volunteer thinking for their research. The project has three parts:
Organizing hands-on volunteer computing workshops forresearchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences as well as other scientific institutions in China.
Launching pilot applications to exploit volunteer computing and volunteer thinking by scientists in China
Creating a website with essential information about volunteer computing for Chinese scientists, which is this site
The project is led by researchers at the Computer Centre of the Institute of High Energy Physics (IHEP), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS).
The project was officially launched in January 2010, with the support of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. A BOINC server was established at IHEP during the first quarter of 2010. A CAS@home master class with two international experts and over 20 participants was held at IHEP on 9 March 2010. In June, tests began of a volunteer computing project that will distribute Short-Cut Threading, an application about protein structure prediction developed by researchers at the Institute of Computing Technology, CAS. In July and August, researchers from IHEP and the international particle physics laboratory, CERN, will collaborate on developing a new volunteer computing application for simulating particle collisions at IHEP's particle accelerator, BEPC.

Account Creation: Open! :)
Aplications: Windows (x86) (no GPUs yet... :()
Work available: No :(

These newly created projects tend to close account creation after reaching a number of participants. Join in while you can! :icon_wink:
