|
|
Astropulse applications.
|
2004-03-21 00:10:15 +00:00

|
|
The public release will be announced on the SETI@home web site.

BOINC is being used at the Scripps Research Institute
|
|
|
|
|
to run a distributed version of CHARMM
|
|
|
|
|
(a program for macromolecular simulations).

BOINC now has an <b>anonymous platform mechanism</b>
|
|
|
|
|
which 1) allows computers of any type to participate
|
|
|
|
|
in a BOINC project, and 2) allows participants to
|
|
|
|
|
run only software they have compiled themselves,
|
|
|
|
|
should they so desire.

The BOINC core client now provides a set of RPCs allowing
|
|
|
|
|
separate GUIs to be developed.
