i went to CNN and it looks like scientists plan to use grid tecnhnology (hence the @Home suffix) for some space research too. (i already know about the unrelated seti one)
Is this going to be part of THIS project or something else? I think we should have a PI chart for which project recieved which % of the overall crunching. I would be concerned if people started folding stardust just because it was new and we lost valuable proteome data. Even if this is not project 3 but just uses the same tecnology i think a PI chart would be neat. (and it shouldnt be a whole lot of work) just an idea :) |

Stardust@home is not part of the World Community Grid. From what i understand from the article is that volunteers will have to manually look through a digital microscope that is downloaded to their computer and state if they found stardust on that video. This project does not appear use much CPU effort as it does human effort.
In percentages, HPF1 returned results yesterday that were 40% of the total runtime of results returned for that day. Hope this helps -U |

Even if the project met the technical requirements for grid computing, it would not meet the WCG requirements for acceptable projects.
From the proposal page: World Community Grid supports research that is:
