Internet

A-Ware — is developing a stable, supported, commercially exploitable, aerial affection technology to accord accessible admission to filigree resources.1

Amagit.COM — employs a broadcast web ample belvedere to body a chase index.2

AssessGrid — addresses obstacles to avant-garde acceptance of filigree technologies by bringing accident administration and appraisal to this field, enabling use of filigree accretion in business and society.3

Cohesion Belvedere — a Java-based modular peer-to-peer multi-application desktop filigree accretion belvedere for anyhow structured problems developed at the University of Tübingen (Germany).4

D4Science — establishes networking, grid-based, and data-centric e-Infrastructures that advance multidisciplinary assay by advantageous barriers accompanying to heterogeneity, sustainability and scalability.

DIMES — maps the anatomy and change of the Internet infrastructure, absolution users see how the Internet looks from their home.

Enabling Grids for E-sciencE (EGEE) — a alternation of projects adjourned by the European Commission; links over 70 institutions in 27 European countries to anatomy a multi-science accretion filigree basement for the European Assay Area, absolution advisers allotment computer resources.

GridCOMP — provides an avant-garde basic belvedere for an able airy grid.5

GridECON — takes a user-oriented angle and creates solutions to filigree challenges to advance boundless use of grids.6

Hours HarmOny and Useful Ability Administration — attempts to accomplish use of the assurance administration and arrangement economics to apparatus the amalgamate ability sharing. Currently absorption on the ability allocation in the science filigree like Teragrid and OSG. This activity is run by the MIST accumulation of Computer Science at Wayne State University.26

Java Amalgamate Broadcast Accretion (JHDC) — an accessible antecedent programmable Java broadcast accretion system.

Legion — a filigree accretion belvedere developed at the University of Virginia.

Majestic-12 — uses a broadcast web crawler affairs to basis web sites for a broadcast chase engine.7

NESSI-GRID 8 — aims to accommodate a unified appearance for European assay in account architectures andcomputer application infrastructures that will ascertain technologies, strategies and deployment behavior adopting new, open, automatic solutions and civic applications that enhance the safety, aegis and abundance of citizens.

neuGRID — develops a fresh convenient grid-based assay e-infrastructure enabling the European neuroscience association to accomplish assay bare for the acute abstraction of degenerative academician diseases, for example, Alzheimer's disease.

OMII-Europe — an EU-funded activity accustomed to antecedent keycomputer application apparatus that can interoperate beyond several amalgamate filigree middleware platforms.

OMII-UK — provides chargeless accessible antecedentcomputer application and abutment to accredit a abiding approaching for the UK e-research community.

OurGrid — aims to bear filigree technology that can be acclimated today by accepted users to break present problems. To accomplish this goal, it uses a altered accommodation compared to best filigree projects: it forfeits acknowledging approximate applications in favor of acknowledging alone Bag-of-Tasks applications.

RESERVOIR — aims to access the competitiveness of EU abridgement by introducing a able ICT basement to abutment the bureaucracy and deployment of casework on demand, at aggressive costs, beyond disparate authoritative domains, while acceptable affection of service.

ScottNet NCG — a broadcast neural accretion grid. A clandestine bartering accomplishment in connected operation back 1995. This arrangement performs a alternation of functions including abstracts synchronization amidst databases, mainframe systems, and added abstracts repositories. E-commerce transaction processing, automatic assay and abstracts retrieval, agreeable analysis, web armpit monitoring, scripted and activating user emulation, aircraft and accomplishment API affiliation and management, RSS and NNTP ecology and analysis, absolute time aegis enforcement, and backup/restore functions.27

Mapping

TilesAtHome (t@h) — renders osmarender maps from OpenStreetMap data.2829 The osmarender, maplint and captionless layers are fabricated in this way.

Mathematics

Background Pi — computes decimal digits of pi application chiffre abstraction method.30

distributed.net - finds optimal Golomb rulers.

Great Internet Mersenne Prime Chase (GIMPS) — is committed to award anytime beyond Mersenne primes.

NFSNET — uses the accepted cardinal acreage clarify to agency added ample integers.

Pi Segment — a Chinese advance accretion activity to attending for specific digits (in binary) of Pi and accomplish advance accretion added accepted in China. The activity was completed in 2007 and appear the 2,000,000,000,000,000th bit of Pi is 0.

Seventeen or Bust — attempts to acquisition prime numbers in 17 sequences, to break the Sierpinski problem. So far primes in 11 sequences accept been found.

Accompanying Prime Chase — searches for ample accompanying primes

Wieferich@Home — searches for fresh Wieferich primes

Physics/Astronomy

Galaxy Zoo — classifies galaxy types from the Sloan Agenda Sky Survey. Part of the Zooniverse accumulation of aborigine science projects.

Stardust@home — scans/analyzes the accumulating filigree from a contempo NASA mission to abduction particles from a comet.

Muon1 DPAD — genetic-based adjustment to architecture + optimise a atom accelerator for use in the Neutrino Factory31

Miscellaneous

The CCL Bold and The CCL Winter Bold Optimal Solution Finder — uses brute-force chase to acquisition optimal solutions for a Flash carbon of The Incredible Machine.

BEinGRID Business Experiments in Filigree — additionally see IT-tude.com

Gstock Investment Strategy Chase — is committed to award anytime more good abstruse assay strategies.

MoneyBee — generates banal forecasts by applying bogus intelligence with the aid of bogus neural networks.

Perplex City — an alternating absoluteness bold created by the British aggregation Mind Candy, appearance addle cards which can be apparent to acquire credibility on a leaderboard and acquire clues to advice accept the game. One of these cards, "The 13th Labour", appearance what players accept bent to be a block of RC5 64-bit encryption, which is now actuality brute-force searched, application a broadcast accretion applicant created by one player.

SoundExpert — estimates complete affection of altered audio accessories and technologies (lossy encoders at the moment only, such as mp3, aac, wma, etc.) by agency of dark alert tests conducted over the Internet.9

Storage@home — broadcast accumulator basement developed to break the botheration of abetment up and administration petabytes of accurate after-effects application a broadcast archetypal of advance managed hosts. Abstracts is maintained by a admixture of archetype and monitoring, with aliment done as needed.
