GREAT New Screensaver!

[tonyreynolds]

All Clie Users:

This is a great new effort in wide-distrubuted computing:

http://einstein.phys.uwm.edu

From their site:

Einstein@home is a program that uses your computer's idle time to search for spinning neutron stars (also called pulsars) using data from the LIGO and GEO gravitational wave detectors. Einstein@home is a World Year of Physics 2005 project supported by the American Physical Society (APS) and by a number of international organizations.

After several months of testing, we are now 'throwing open the doors' for general participation. If you would like to take part, please use the Create account link to create an account, and follow the instructions. Einstein@home is available for Windows, Linux and MacOS X computers.

Here's the creat account link:

http://einstein.phys.uwm.edu/create_account_form.php

And here's the team I set up for Clie Users:

http://einstein.phys.uwm.edu/team_join_form.php?id=1297

Let's show the world that even if the Clie is 'dead', we user still have a voice!

SIGN UP TODAY, let's see how many CPU's we can add to the effort!

Tony :D

Bumpity bump.

This thing has AMAZING graphics.

A LOT better than SETI@Home.

Just a quick note... I've signed up but have never studied the site yet :D I have the weekend for that.

[tonyreynolds]

A lot of people have viewed this, but only one other Clie'r has signed up... Where's the sense of public-spirited adventure?

:)

I signed up! but I'm a T3'r so did not join the group, now I have 3 @Home projects running, Einstein, Seti and ClimatePrediction

[tonyreynolds]

Okay...

So I'll change the name of the group to "Palm OS PDA's"

:)

It's Done! :D

[matrix42]

Ok!, I'm signed up

[jjesusfreak01]

Im signed up. Is there a Palm part to this, because I noticed that it downloaded PDB files along w/ some exe files? Just wondering?

If you like Distributed Computing Aiding Science, you can also look at:

www.worldcommunitygrid.org

This one helps unfold the Human Proteome thingy. (Like I understand human genetics! I'm a computer geek, not a doctor!) ... check it out. Wouldn't recommend running more than one instance of something like this on your computer at any given time (unless you have a multiprocessor server all to yourself. :D

Try the new BOINC client. It's one program that runs multiple distributed computing projects. I'm running these right now:

SETI@Home
http://setiweb.ssl.berkeley.edu/

ProteinPredictor@Home
http://predictor.scripps.edu/index.php

Einstein@Home
http://einstein.phys.uwm.edu/

ClimatePrediction.net

I've also activated the Folding@Home component of my Google toolbar.

AFAIK, there is no Palm component.

I just thought it would be neat to have a group so we could mass clock cycles. I don't benefit personally of course, but the total numbers of a group look better tha those of an individual. Besides, as Clie users, we're all passionate technologists, right?

I also believe there's a far higer chance of finding pulsars than aliens...

Read "Rare Earth".

SETI hasn't changed their graphics in the three tears (on and off) that I've been using it. I got tired of it. I *like* the graphics of the Einstein project much better. I done the cancer research screen saver in the past as well.

Oh yeah. There is also www.grid.org ... they've done searches on vaccines for SmallPox and Cancer as well. I think a couple of other things, ... /shrug/

There are a LOT of nifty stuff in this genre so have some fun.

Oh, there was an article in "Microsoft Windows XP - The Offical Magazine" on World Community Grid. They say that "This is an attempt to investigate the proteins that make up the Human Proteome, knowledge of which could lead to cures for Malaria, Tuberculosis, SARS and HIV." -- Page 127, February 2005 (Printed in England) copy.
