These projects attempt to make large physical computation infrastructures available for researchers to use: 3G Bridge An open-source core job bridging component between different grid infrastructures. Berkeley NOW Project. Debian Cluster Components. [7] DiaGrid grid computing network centered at Purdue University. NESSI-GRID.
The donated computing power comes from idle CPUs and GPUs in personal computers, video game consoles, [1] and Android devices. Each project seeks to utilize the computing power of many internet connected devices to solve problems and perform tedious, repetitive research in a very cost effective manner.
This is a list of open-source hardware projects, including computer systems and components, cameras, radio, telephony, science education, machines and tools, robotics, renewable energy, home automation, medical and biotech, automotive, prototyping, test equipment, and musical instruments.
[4] [5] An emerging branch of Citizen Science are Community Mapping projects that utilize smartphone and tablet technology. For example, TurtleSAT [6] is a community mapping project that is mapping freshwater turtle deaths throughout Australia. This list of citizen science projects involves projects that engage all age groups.
DX Studio - a suite of tools for simulation and visualization. Dymola - modeling and simulation software based on the Modelica language. DYNAMO - historically important language used for system dynamics modelling. Ecolego - a simulation software tool for creating dynamic models and performing deterministic and probabilistic simulations.
Community Development: project that creates and provides tools, processes, and advice to help open-source software projects improve their own community health; Cordova: mobile development framework; CouchDB: Document-oriented database; Apache Creadur Committee Rat: improves accuracy and efficiency when reviewing and auditing releases.
Folding@Home is a distributed computing project for disease research that simulates protein folding, computational drug design, and other types of molecular dynamics. The project uses the idle processing resources of thousands of personal computers owned by volunteers who have installed the software on their systems. Its primary purpose is to ...
The first volunteer computing project was the Great Internet Mersenne Prime Search, which started in January 1996. [4] It was followed in 1997 by distributed.net.In 1997 and 1998, several academic research projects developed Java-based systems for volunteer computing; examples include Bayanihan, [5] Popcorn, [6] Superweb, [7] and Charlotte.
