Below is an email I received which indicates more medical computing projects for your PC.


Dear friends of XtremeSystems,

We're mailing you this year as we did last year to ask for your help doing some medical research.
We've moved to another project. This time it's the World Community Grid or WCG for short.

They do AIDS Research, Human Genome Project and have just added work on a project doing research on Discovering Dengue Drugs such as Hepatitis, West Nile and Yellow fever. One of the benefits of WCG is that you can pick which you choose to work on.

Here's a link to their site for more info: http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/

Last year we mailed people in May I believe. It was the start of the summer and really a bad time of year to ask people. Between vacations and the heat factor of summer we shouldn't have asked at that time. Like everyone, we learned from experience and that's why we've waited till what is hopefully near the end of the hottest months.

WCG runs on the BOINC platform with you can download here:

That is the direct link to the windows version but there is also a Linux version here:

Received it as well, got all my power trying to keep the FM folding team from plumeting to their demise though.

Heh.....

Looks like it'll be a little while before my team overtakes.....

(Kinda hard to do with only 11 active folders.... ).

anything that works on BOINC is good in my books.
boinc works really well for multi core systems as it gets a new work unit for each core.

I signed up for WCG, is there any team that MB has which I should join?

LF Team too

5 Systems Raring to go.
