The competition

I have only just discovered that there are others out there (you know where) who are also folding proteins. I'm talking about predictor@home from BOINC. Maybe I should have found this out a long time ago, but why should anyone tell me?

Anyway, is there any discussion here about the different approaches, morals, recruitment and utility of these competing projects, that I may have also missed?

Should we all flock over to BOINC, or perhaps join their chat rooms to poach some members to WCG? wink I'm just wondering if all my spare cycles are being best used.

Re: The competition

You want to check out http://www.distributedcomputing.info/ Read the Active Projects and News and start clicking on links. I am frustrated that there is little non-Japanese information about ProSurf (Protein Surface), but I would be just as frustrated if it were in Greek. I am lucky that so many sites include an English version. This site shows some non-BOINC statistics: http://vspx27.stanford.edu/DCcomparison.html

It is fun to read the Forum at http://www.grid.org and the news threads at Predictor@home
