Approximately 90% of the time, your computer (i.e. the CPU) is doing nothing. Why not donate all that wasted computing power to help mankind, and solve some hard problems in science? Listed below are some worldwide distributed computing projects, for which there is a Redbrick team. When you're joining up to a particular project, use the information below to add yourself to the Redbrick team, and join other brickies in the fight to cure cancer/aids, simulate protein folding, or search for alien life!
Projects with a Redbrick team:
- Folding@Home: The Redbrick team is called "Redbrick.dcu.ie", and its number is "43166"
- Redbrick RC5 (http://romana.now.ie/rc5/): - This is a little old...
