Yoyo@home |
Introduction
Yoyo@home makes available a number of distributed computing projects which would otherwise be incompatible with BOINC and GridRepublic:
Muon: Use your PCs idle time to simulate and design parts of a particle accelerator.
Evolution@home: Join the first global computing system for evolutionary biology. It allows everybody with an Internet-connected PC to contribute to evolutionary-research by running simulations of evolution.
Distributed.net: This project searches for the shortest Optimal Golumb Ruler of the length 26.
ECM: This project is a program for Elliptic Curve Factorization which is used by a couple of projects to find factors for different kind of numbers.
Note: There may be issues with reporting of statistics from these projects.
Note: You may or may not be able to login to the project websites directly.
Note: Some virus scanners falsely detect downloads for the Distributed.net project as a "trojan" virus.

Science
[The Science section might (or might not) be divided into two parts: {1} general discussion of the field, and then {2} a discussion of the project's specific endeavor. For instance, in LHC@home, we might have {1} "Science of the Large Hardon Collider" and then {2} "Science of LHC@home"
The above is desirable, because in most cases, the field of research is really fascinating, and presenting this in broad terms-- outlining the big questions-- can make it easier to understand the particulars of the project and why it is important. ]
Results
[Where known, we should attempt to keep track of each project's publications. A good list to draw from is here. ]
Links of Interest
[Why recreate the wheel; there are lots of great sources out there.; a good list of sources can be really useful to the reader.]
Yoyo@home In the Classroom
[For each project, please add a "[Projectname] in the Classroom" section-- with a link to Volunteer Computing In the Classroom and an article named "[Projectname] in the Classroom". (Then please add "[Projectname] in the Classroom" to the list on the main Education page.)]
