    Exclamation New BOINC Project: SciLINC

    Yet another new BOINC project, it's another busy month on the BOINC project front.

    Project Page: http://www.scilinc.org/SciLINC/
    Account Creation: http://www.scilinc.org/SciLINC/create_account_form.php
    Team Page: http://www.scilinc.org/SciLINC/team_....php?teamid=26

    Project blurb from http://www.botanicus.org/Scilinc.aspx

    SciLINC:Scientific Literature Indexing on Networked Computers
    Missouri Botanical Garden proposes Scientific Literature Indexing on Networked Computers (SciLINC), a public-resource computing application that will automatically index large amounts of digitized scientific literature, ultimately providing users with an integrated Web portal, available at www.botanicus.org, for the discovery of information about plants. Public-resource computing applications use internet-connected PCs to analyze data when the PC is not active. These applications generally run in the form of a screensaver, taking advantage of unused computer processing power to analyze vast amounts of data.
    Our application, freely available to the general public, will analyze text from digitized botanical literature in order to return a full-text index and a keyword index for each page. These keywords will be annotated with links to other online resources-i.e. Web pages about a particular plant-allowing users of the portal to search for terms, discover where they reside in a body of digitized literature, view the appropriate pages, and click through to discover other online resources associated with that keyword. This Web portal will be an essential tool for anyone interested in learning about plants, including scientists, students, and the general public.
    Anyway account creation is open and i've created the team. Handover when founder joins.

    I joined also but I noticed the WUs are extremely short (3 to 4 seconds ) on an Intel 3.04 GHz. The credit is also low which is .01 per WU. That will work you to death shifting gears. LOL

    I'm not getting any work either. Must be a glitch.

    4 cores primed and ready

    Thanks for the hook-up EvilDragon. That's tops.

    /ed - This looks like a very worthwhile effort. Can hardly wait until the wu's start flowing on this one. I see 149 members already across 31 teams (the usual suspects, of course) - ed/

    Challenge me, or correct me, but don't ask me to die quietly.
