LHC@Home Project
From Unofficial BOINC Wiki
[edit] General
LHC@Home is a research program that uses the idle computers of individuals and corporations to perform a massive amount of processing of Work Units while modeling the actions of and improving the design of the Large Hadron Collider at CERN.
Sixtrack will need to be run for the design phase of the Large Hadron Collider, which is planned to go into operation in 2007. Sixtrack will the move to a support phase for the Large Hadron Collider, where it will run studies while the Large Hadron Collider is in operation.
In the meantime we are looking for more applications to run on LHC@Home. The best candidate at the moment is Geant4.

[edit] Active BOINC Projects
These BOINC Powered Projects are in the production phase. They are considered reasonably stable and are doing valid science. Alpha and Beta Projects are less stable and not recommended for general Participation.
| Wiki Project Page | Project Web Site | Project Goal or Comments |
|---|---|---|
| ABC@Home | ABC@Home Web Site | This project will try to find abc triples related to the ABC conjecture. |
| BBC Climate Change Experiment | BBC Climate Change Experiment Web Site | Study of transient climate change model predictions.
As of 10.12.2006, this project is closed for new users. New users should join the main Climateprediction.net (CPDN) project instead. |
| Climateprediction.net (CPDN) | Climateprediction.net Web Site | Study of Climate Models to answer some of the important Climate Change Questions.
Note: Only works with Version 5.x.x or later of the BOINC Client Software. |
| Seasonal Attribution Project | Seasonal Attribution Project Web Site | High resolution variant of CPDN, taking a more in depth look at certain regional areas. As of December 2007, out of work again with no current plans of a 3rd. extension. |
| Einstein@Home | Einstein@Home Web Site | Search for gravitational waves to reveal the presence of neutron stars (pulsars). |
| Leiden Classical | Leiden Classical Web Site | Desktop Computer Grid dedicated to general Classical Dynamics for any scientist or science student. |
