World Community Grid: Team UserFriendly.Org by Didactylos 2007-06-17 08:01:10

Team UserFriendly.Org hit 200 MILLION points!

Thank you all for this great achievement. The point system is fairly arbitrary, but this score represents over 500 years of computer time, and over 700 thousand results. Good going! Let's keep it up!

The Help Cure Muscular Dystrophy project is now complete (for phase 1, anyway). Phase 2 isn't expected until next year. Our new target is to reach a daily average of one million points. Tell your friends!

Our very own Geopsychic has been producing some wonderful graphs for some time now. I'm featuring them on the team site. Go and have a look: these graphs track our achievement from the very beginning.

The World Community Grid is a grid computing project whose mission "[...] is to create the world's largest public computing grid to tackle projects that benefit humanity." Their current projects are Help Cure Muscular Dystrophy (completed), Genome Comparison, FightAIDS@Home and Human Proteome Folding Phase 2.

New members: Certificates: Welcome to Team UserFriendly.Org, may your crunching be productive and trouble-free!

Last team we overtook: IBM Corporation

This will be a daily post, if there are no objections. Please, come and help out. I really can't think of a better use for my spare CPU cycles, or yours either.
