POLL - How many other distributed project are you currently

delta_t · 2002-12-07, 17:33

Though most of my machines runs GIMPS, I've dabbled and helped out other distributed projects in the past. So I'm curious to find out if the GIMPS community participates in other projects simultaneously.

This poll is for currently running projects simultaneous to GIMPS, not what you have done in the past.

Currenetly Seventeen or Bust (which should be called 14 or bust now ;) )

I only do primes, definately no Aliens

I've played with many different math DC projects: PiHex, FermatSearch, Euler2000 and K10, 3x+1 search, pform, N!+1 and N!-1.

Actually i offer 90% of my computational power to GIMPS and the rest to FermatSearch.

All my machines are running GIMPS, but I just started up one of my P4 machines looking for Proth primes.

I have done

OGR24
OGR25
RC5
F@H1
F@H2
G@H
distributedfolding
Seti
SOB
Eccp

Thats a few and I am sure I have missed a few, but I am currently consolidating between Prime and SOB!

There are other projects?

QuintLeo · 2002-12-09, 04:17

Currently, I still have a few machines working on OGR (24 or 25, as the packets are given to me).

I've worked in the past on CSC, DES (2 or 3 of the Distributed.Net DES projects), RC5-64, United Devices cancer project for a short while (their support is NOT very good, and they don't offer anything but single-CPU Windoze clients). I forget if I did any RC5-56 offhand, but I think I came into distributed projects after that one wrapped up.

I may switch some of the slow, horrible-atlfloating-point machines over to RC5-72 eventually - especially the ones that I've not bothered swapping over to factoring yet.

GIMPS and... GIMPS 8)

if http://www.climateprediction.net every gets a final version (or even beta which was scheduled for early November) it should be an interesting scientific alternative to Gimps and other math projects. I get bored REAL fast of modeling abstract molecules which have little chance of helping any medical research or trying to break some code using brute force...

anyway, I just checked out their updated site (I had bookmarked an old one) and it turns out that the climateprediction.net has a beta test scheduled for Dec. 13.
