BOINC is the most significant thing happening at the moment. A lot of posts on the subject is to be expected.


There is a question of categorisation... Should a DC project be catagorised by the _purpose_ of the project, or by the DC architechture supporting it?

I'm sorry, but there's likely a lot more interest in whatever project as a whole rather than the specific computer science supporting it.

I'll guess that you'll find BOINC comments and hints and tips spread across the forums of many projects that commonly use BOINC support.


And just one post recently in c.distributed...

Any new 'grid' computing ideas anyone for over on c.d.?
