'''EDGeS@Home''' ('''E'''nabling '''D'''esktop '''G'''rids for '''e'''-'''S'''cience) was a [[wikipedia:BOINC|BOINC]]-based [[wikipedia:Volunteer computing|volunteer computing]] project that aimed to bridge desktop grid (DG) and service grid (SG) infrastructures, enabling the execution of scientific applications developed by the [[wikipedia:EGEE|EGEE]] and EDGeS community on volunteer-contributed computing resources.<ref name="edgeshome">{{cite web |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120329124047/http://home.edges-grid.eu/home/ |title=EDGeS@Home |publisher=EDGeS |accessdate=2026-08-16 |via=Wayback Machine}}</ref> The project was coordinated by the [[wikipedia:SZTAKI|MTA SZTAKI]] Laboratory of Parallel and Distributed Systems in Hungary and was part of the broader EDGeS [[wikipedia:European Union|European Union]] [[wikipedia:Seventh Framework Programme|Seventh Framework Programme]] (FP7) project.<ref name="boincwiki">{{cite web |url=https://boinc.berkeley.edu/wiki/EDGeS@Home |title=EDGeS@Home |publisher=BOINC |accessdate=2026-08-16}}</ref>

The project's primary production-level application was '''ISDEP''' (Integrator of Stochastic Differential Equations for Plasmas), a [[wikipedia:Monte Carlo method|Monte Carlo]] code that simulates [[wikipedia:Ion|ion]] transport in magnetized plasmas for [[wikipedia:Fusion power|fusion energy]] research.<ref name="velasco2012">{{cite journal |last1=Velasco |first1=J.L. |last2=Bustos |first2=A. |last3=Castejón |first3=F. |last4=Fernández |first4=L.A. |last5=Martin-Mayor |first5=V. |last6=Tarancón |first6=A. |title=ISDEP: Integrator of stochastic differential equations for plasmas |journal=Computer Physics Communications |volume=183 |issue=9 |pages=1877–1883 |year=2012 |doi=10.1016/j.cpc.2012.04.004}}</ref> EDGeS@Home also hosted several other applications at the beta (experimental) level.<ref name="edgeshome" />

== History ==

The EDGeS (Enabling Desktop Grids for e-Science) project was an [[wikipedia:European Union|European Union]] FP7 infrastructure project (grant agreement no. 211727) that ran from 2008 to 2010, with the goal of building technological bridges to facilitate [[wikipedia:Interoperability|interoperability]] between desktop grids and service grids.<ref name="urbah2009">{{cite journal |last1=Urbah |first1=E. |last2=Kacsuk |first2=P. |last3=Farkas |first3=Z. |display-authors=etal |title=EDGeS: Bridging EGEE to BOINC and XtremWeb |journal=Journal of Grid Computing |volume=7 |pages=335–354 |year=2009 |doi=10.1007/s10723-009-9137-0}}</ref> The EDGeS@Home BOINC project was launched on '''28 October 2009''' as the volunteer computing component of this infrastructure.<ref name="boincwiki" />

[[File:TJ-II model including plasma, coils and vacuum vessel.jpg|thumb|The [[wikipedia:TJ-II|TJ-II]] [[wikipedia:Stellarator|stellarator]] at [[wikipedia:CIEMAT|CIEMAT]], Madrid, the primary fusion device studied using ISDEP on EDGeS@Home.|alt=The TJ-II stellarator device]]

The EDGeS@Home desktop grid and its applications were partly supported by the follow-on '''DEGISCO''' project (Desktop Grid Initiatives for Scientific Collaboration), funded under EU FP7 grant agreement no. 261556.<ref name="edgeshome" /> The experts of the '''International Desktop Grid Federation''' (IDGF) provided further support for the EDGeS@Home infrastructure, its applications, and its integration into the DEGISCO infrastructure.<ref name="edgeshome" />

A server upgrade was performed in April 2011, after which the project continued operating.<ref name="edgeshome" /> The ISDEP computation phase was completed on '''21 May 2011'''.<ref name="boincruforum">{{cite web |url=https://boinc.ru/forum/topic/proekt-edgeshome-on-zhe-ibercivis/ |title=EDGeS@Home |publisher=BOINC.RU |accessdate=2026-08-16 |language=Russian}}</ref> After the ISDEP phase ended, the project briefly hosted an [[wikipedia:AutoDock|AutoDock]] application for [[wikipedia:Molecular docking|molecular docking]] computations at the beta level.<ref name="boincruforum" /> The project became inactive by approximately 2015, with the last statistics export occurring on 28 November 2015.<ref name="boincstats">{{cite web |url=https://www.boincstats.com/stats/89/project/detail |title=EDGeS@Home – Detailed stats |publisher=BOINCstats |accessdate=2026-08-16}}</ref>

== Scientific objectives ==

The aim of the EDGeS@Home project was to support the execution of selected and validated scientific applications developed by the EGEE and EDGeS community on [[wikipedia:Volunteer computing|volunteer computing]] resources.<ref name="edgeshome" /> The project served as a practical demonstration of the EDGeS bridging technology, which connected [[wikipedia:BOINC|BOINC]]-based and XtremWeb-based desktop grids with the EGEE service grid infrastructure, creating a seamless pool of over 250,000 processors from desktop grids combined with approximately 150,000 processors from service grids.<ref name="degisco">{{cite web |url=https://sztaki.hu/en/projects/degisco |title=DEGISCO |publisher=MTA SZTAKI |accessdate=2026-08-16}}</ref>

=== ISDEP ===

[[File:EDGeS Bridge diagram.jpg|thumb|The EDGeS 3G Bridge architecture connecting BOINC desktop grids with the EGEE service grid, enabling bidirectional job execution.|alt=EDGeS 3G Bridge architecture diagram]]

The principal application hosted on EDGeS@Home was '''ISDEP''' (Integrator of Stochastic Differential Equations for Plasmas), a Monte Carlo code developed under the collaboration between the '''National Fusion Laboratory''' at [[wikipedia:CIEMAT|CIEMAT]] (Madrid), the '''Institute of Biocomputation and Physics of Complex Systems''' (BIFI) at the [[wikipedia:University of Zaragoza|University of Zaragoza]], and the [[wikipedia:Complutense University of Madrid|Complutense University of Madrid]].<ref name="velasco2012" />

ISDEP solves the dynamics of a minority population of ions in a complex 3D fusion device, computing the [[wikipedia:Distribution function|distribution function]] by numerically integrating the [[wikipedia:Langevin equation|Langevin equation]]s equivalent to the [[wikipedia:Fokker–Planck equation|Fokker–Planck equation]].<ref name="velasco2012" /> The code takes into account:

* The full three-dimensional structure of fusion devices, avoiding common approximations such as Boozer coordinates and the neoclassical ordering
* The confining [[wikipedia:Electromagnetic field|electromagnetic field]]
* [[wikipedia:Collision|Collision]]s with other [[wikipedia:Plasma (physics)|plasma]] species (ions and electrons) using the Boozer–Kuo-Petravic collision operator
* The [[wikipedia:Electric potential|electrostatic potential]]

The Monte Carlo method used by ISDEP is based on the equivalence between the [[wikipedia:Fokker–Planck equation|Fokker–Planck]] and [[wikipedia:Langevin equation|Langevin equation]]s, which allows the code to run on [[wikipedia:Distributed computing|distributed computing]] platforms without [[wikipedia:Inter-process communication|communication between nodes]], achieving near-linear scaling.<ref name="velasco2012" /> Each computing node integrates one or more ion trajectories independently, with statistical independence guaranteed by reading the [[wikipedia:Random seed|random seed]] locally.<ref name="velasco2012" />

The primary fusion device studied with ISDEP on EDGeS@Home was the [[wikipedia:TJ-II|TJ-II]] [[wikipedia:Stellarator|stellarator]] at CIEMAT.<ref name="castejon2007">{{cite journal |last1=Castejón |first1=F. |last2=Fernández |first2=L.A. |last3=Guasp |first3=J. |last4=Martin-Mayor |first4=V. |last5=Tarancón |first5=A. |last6=Velasco |first6=J.L. |title=Ion kinetic transport in the presence of collisions and electric field in TJ-II ECRH plasmas |journal=Plasma Physics and Controlled Fusion |volume=49 |issue=6 |pages=753 |year=2007 |doi=10.1088/0741-3335/49/6/006}}</ref> ISDEP was also applied to study ion transport in [[wikipedia:ITER|ITER]]<ref name="bustos2010">{{cite journal |last1=Bustos |first1=A. |last2=Castejón |first2=F. |last3=Fernández |first3=L.A. |display-authors=etal |title=Impact of 3D features on ion collisional transport in ITER |journal=Nuclear Fusion |volume=50 |issue=12 |pages=125007 |year=2010 |doi=10.1088/0029-5515/50/12/125007}}</ref> and the [[wikipedia:Large Helical Device|Large Helical Device]] (LHD) stellarator.<ref name="velasco2012" />

ISDEP was programmed in [[wikipedia:C (programming language)|C]] to maximize performance and portability, and was designed from the outset to run on [[wikipedia:Grid computing|grid computing]] and volunteer computing platforms.<ref name="velasco2012" /> The application download size was approximately 70 MB, with input data per workunit of 212 bytes and output data of 500–700 KB.<ref name="ruwiki">{{cite web |url=https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/EDGeS@Home |title=EDGeS@Home |publisher=Wikipedia |accessdate=2026-08-16 |language=Russian}}</ref>

=== Other applications ===

In addition to ISDEP at production level, EDGeS@Home hosted several other applications at the beta (experimental) level:<ref name="edgeshome" />

* '''AutoDock''' – a [[wikipedia:Molecular docking|molecular docking]] application used in [[wikipedia:Biomedicine|biomedical]] research, which became the sole active application after the ISDEP phase ended in May 2011<ref name="boincruforum" />
* Applications from the broader EDGeS infrastructure, including those bridged from EGEE service grids via the 3G Bridge technology

The ISDEP application was also available through the Spanish volunteer computing project [[wikipedia:Ibercivis|Ibercivis]] and its predecessor ZIVIS (Zaragoza Institutional Volunteer Computing for Investigative Science), a city-wide computing platform deployed in [[wikipedia:Zaragoza|Zaragoza]], Spain.<ref name="zivis">{{cite conference |last1=Antolí |first1=B. |last2=Castejón |first2=F. |last3=Giner |first3=A. |display-authors=etal |title=ZIVIS: A City Computing Platform Based on Volunteer Computing |year=2007 |booktitle=International Conference on e-Science and Grid Computing}}</ref>

== Bridging technology ==

The core technical contribution of the EDGeS project was the development of '''3G Bridge''' (Generic Grid-to-Grid Bridge), a middleware-independent framework that enabled [[wikipedia:Interoperability|interoperability]] between desktop grids and service grids.<ref name="urbah2009" /> The bridge operated in two directions:

* '''BOINC → EGEE bridge''': A modified [[wikipedia:BOINC|BOINC]] client that represented itself as a powerful desktop PC with many CPU cores to the EGEE Workload Management System (WMS), pulling workunits from the BOINC server and executing them on EGEE resources. This was based on the super-worker approach.<ref name="fedak2008">{{cite conference |last1=Fedak |first1=Gilles |last2=He |first2=Haiwu |last3=Lodygensky |first3=Oleg |display-authors=etal |title=EDGeS: A Bridge between Desktop Grids and Service Grids |booktitle=2008 Third ChinaGrid Annual Conference (CHINAGRID) |year=2008 |doi=10.1109/ChinaGrid.2008.44}}</ref>
* '''EGEE → BOINC bridge''': Allowed EGEE users to submit jobs that were transparently forwarded to and executed on connected desktop grid systems, extending the capacity of EGEE [[wikipedia:Virtual organization|Virtual Organization]]s (VOs) with volunteer resources.<ref name="kacsuk2011">{{cite book |last1=Kacsuk |first1=P. |last2=Farkas |first2=Z. |last3=Balaton |first3=Z. |title=EDGeS Bridge Technologies to Interconnect Service and Desktop Grids |booktitle=Remote Instrumentation Services on the e-Infrastructure |year=2011 |publisher=Springer |doi=10.1007/978-1-4419-5574-6_5}}</ref>

The production infrastructure included the SZTAKI Desktop Grid, the Extremadura Desktop Grid, and the AlmereGrid, connected to EGEE service grids through the 3G Bridge.<ref name="urbah2009" />

== Volunteer participation ==

Volunteers participated in EDGeS@Home by installing the [[wikipedia:BOINC|BOINC]] client and attaching to the project URL <code>http://home.edges-grid.eu/home/</code>.<ref name="edgeshome" /> At its peak, the project reached approximately:

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Metric !! Value
|-
| Total users || 11,486
|-
| Total hosts || 32,308
|-
| Total credit || 460,481,463
|-
| Peak estimated performance (48 h) || ~1.57 [[wikipedia:FLOPS|TFLOPS]]
|-
| Number of countries || 84
|-
| Number of teams || 684
|-
|}

As of March 2012, over 7,000 users from 84 countries had contributed more than 17,000 computers, providing an integrated performance of approximately 2.6 [[wikipedia:FLOPS|TFLOPS]].<ref name="boincruforum" /> The project had 11,032 users and 16,385 hosts as of March 2012, with an estimated 48-hour performance of 1,352.6 GFLOPS.<ref name="edgeshome" />

== Relationship to other projects ==

EDGeS@Home was closely related to several other grid and volunteer computing initiatives:

* '''[[wikipedia:Ibercivis|Ibercivis]]''' – A Spanish volunteer computing project that also hosted the ISDEP application. EDGeS@Home served as part of a unified European grid infrastructure that included Ibercivis as a sub-grid.<ref name="boincruforum" />
* '''SZTAKI Desktop Grid''' – A BOINC-based desktop grid developed at MTA SZTAKI using the DC-API (Distributed Computing Application Programming Interface), which was a foundational component of the EDGeS infrastructure.<ref name="urbah2009" />
* '''ZIVIS''' – A city-wide volunteer computing platform in Zaragoza, Spain, that served as a precursor to Ibercivis and hosted ISDEP as its pilot application.<ref name="zivis" />
* '''AlmereGrid''' – A Dutch desktop grid that was part of the EDGeS production infrastructure.<ref name="urbah2009" />
* '''DEGISCO''' – The follow-on project (FP7 grant 261556) that supported the EDGeS@Home infrastructure and promoted interoperation between desktop grid and service grid infrastructures on a global scale.<ref name="degisco" />

== Mathematical formulation ==

ISDEP solves the [[wikipedia:Fokker–Planck equation|Fokker–Planck equation]] for a minority ion population in a magnetized plasma:

:<math>\frac{\partial f}{\partial t} + \dot{\mathbf{x}} \cdot \nabla f + \dot{\mathbf{v}} \cdot \nabla_v f = C(f)</math>

where <math>f(\mathbf{x}, \mathbf{v}, t)</math> is the [[wikipedia:Distribution function|ion distribution function]], <math>\mathbf{x}</math> and <math>\mathbf{v}</math> are position and velocity in [[wikipedia:Cartesian coordinate system|Cartesian coordinates]], and <math>C(f)</math> is the collision operator (Boozer–Kuo-Petravic).<ref name="velasco2012" />

By exploiting the equivalence between the Fokker–Planck equation and the [[wikipedia:Langevin equation|Langevin equation]]s, ISDEP integrates the [[wikipedia:Stochastic differential equation|stochastic differential equation]]s:

:<math>d\mathbf{X} = \mathbf{a}(\mathbf{X}, t)\,dt + \mathbf{b}(\mathbf{X}, t)\,d\mathbf{W}</math>

where <math>\mathbf{a}</math> is the drift term (deterministic motion in the electromagnetic field), <math>\mathbf{b}</math> is the diffusion coefficient (collisional effects), and <math>\mathbf{W}</math> is a [[wikipedia:Wiener process|Wiener process]].<ref name="velasco2012" /> The numerical integration uses a [[wikipedia:Runge–Kutta method|Runge–Kutta method]] upgraded to handle [[wikipedia:Gaussian noise|Gaussian noise]] from collisional effects.<ref name="zivis" />

Since individual particle trajectories are statistically independent, no inter-node communication is required during computation, making the problem [[wikipedia:Embarrassingly parallel|embarrassingly parallel]] and well-suited for [[wikipedia:Volunteer computing|volunteer computing]] platforms.<ref name="velasco2012" />

The other model type is reverse complement, which doesn't assume the model to be palindromic, but looks for either the forward or reverse version of the model.

<span class="bs-definition-label">What is a BOINC project?</span>
'''A BOINC project''' is a website and associated server set up by an individual or group to distribute applications to [https://boinc.berkeley.edu/ BOINC] volunteer computing devices. Those devices deliberately attach to receive, process, and return results for further scientific research — at no cost to the researcher, and no cost to the volunteer beyond electricity.

''BOINC'' stands for '''Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing''', developed at the University of California, Berkeley. Any researcher can create a BOINC project; any person can donate their idle CPU or GPU time to one.

<span class="bs-definition-label">What is a BOINC project?</span>
'''A BOINC project''' is a website and associated server set up by an individual or group to distribute applications to [https://boinc.berkeley.edu/ BOINC] volunteer computing devices. Those devices deliberately attach to receive, process, and return results for further scientific research — at no cost to the researcher, and no cost to the volunteer beyond electricity.

''BOINC'' stands for '''Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing''', developed at the University of California, Berkeley. Any researcher can create a BOINC project; any person can donate their idle CPU or GPU time to one.

<div class="bs-cta">
<div class="bs-cta-title">📋 The BOINC Projects Master Table</div>
<div class="bs-cta-body">The [[BOINC projects|List of all BOINC projects]] table is the heart of this wiki — a structured, sortable reference covering project name, research field, institution, supported platforms, active status, GPU support, and more. It is the primary reason this resource exists and the most complete registry of BOINC projects available anywhere.</div>

<div class="bs-cta">
<div class="bs-cta-title">📺 BOINC Project Screensaver Archive</div>
<div class="bs-cta-body">Before modern power management made them obsolete, every BOINC project shipped a real-time animated screensaver showing the computation in progress, including protein chains folding, star fields sweeping and climate models spinning. All 71 known screensaver recordings, spanning projects from SETI@home to Pirates@Home, are now preserved in one place.</div>

<span class="bs-definition-label">What is a BOINC project?</span>
'''A BOINC project''' is a website and associated server set up by an individual or group to distribute applications to [https://boinc.berkeley.edu/ BOINC] volunteer computing devices. Those devices deliberately attach to receive, process, and return results for further scientific research — at no cost to the researcher, and no cost to the volunteer beyond electricity.

''BOINC'' stands for '''Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing''', developed at the University of California, Berkeley. Any researcher can create a BOINC project; any person can donate their idle CPU or GPU time to one.

| The new versions allow for different motif types which are different models for how a binding site could look. One is palindromic, where the nucleotides in the beginning of the model have their complement at the end of the model. The other model type is reverse complement, which doesn't assume the model to be palindromic, but looks for either the forward or reverse version of the model.

{{DISPLAYTITLE:BOINC Project Screensavers}}
__NOTOC__

One of the distinctive features of early [[BOINC]] projects was the '''project screensaver.''' Many screensavers featured a real-time animated display showing the volunteer's computer actively contributing to science. When a BOINC-attached machine sat idle, the screensaver would launch and visualise the underlying computation: radio telescope signals sweeping across a star field for [[SETI@home]], protein chains folding in three dimensions for [[Rosetta@home]], or a climate model globe spinning for [[climateprediction.net]].

As LCD and OLED monitors replaced phosphor-coated CRTs, the original technical justification for screensavers (preventing phosphor burn-in), became obsolete. BOINC projects gradually stopped shipping screensaver graphics. The gallery below preserves recordings of every known BOINC project screensaver. Click any '''▶''' link to watch the YouTube recording; where an animated GIF exists on [[Wikimedia Commons]], it appears in the left column.

== Adding new entries ==

To add a screensaver not yet listed:

# Upload an animated GIF to [[commons:Main Page|Wikimedia Commons]] with a descriptive filename and tag it with <code><nowiki>{{Free screenshot}}</nowiki></code> and the appropriate licence template.
# Upload a screen recording to the [https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLblxpyGay1Q7Bp3Mx2GACRc2XU6F0Yduy BOINC Screensavers YouTube playlist].
# Add a new row to the gallery table following the existing pattern. The YouTube thumbnail image URL format is <code>https://img.youtube.com/vi/VIDEO_ID/mqdefault.jpg</code> place it on its own line in the cell to render as an inline image, followed by the bracketed watch link on the next line.

== Technical background ==

=== How BOINC screensavers worked ===

The [[BOINC]] client on Windows and macOS registers itself as a system screensaver. When the machine idles, the BOINC screensaver coordinator launches and cycles between two display modes:

* '''Overview screensaver''' — a built-in BOINC display showing project list, credit totals, and connection status.
* '''Project graphics''' — a separate OpenGL executable shipped by each project, rendering the computation in real time via shared memory with the work unit.

Not all projects shipped graphics applications. Projects without one fell back to the overview screensaver. The graphics application literally showed the live computation in progress, which distinguished BOINC from most other screensaver-based volunteer computing platforms of the era.

=== Preservation ===

By the early 2010s, project screensavers were already disappearing: projects closed, graphics executables were dropped from client packages, and 32-bit OpenGL dependencies became incompatible with modern operating systems. Some recordings required virtual machines running Windows XP or Windows 7 to launch executables that no longer run on current systems. Animated GIF versions on [[Wikimedia Commons]] are limited to 256 colours; the YouTube recordings are the highest-fidelity versions available.

{{DISPLAYTITLE:BOINC Project Screensavers}}
__NOTOC__

One of the distinctive features of early [[BOINC]] projects was the '''project screensaver.''' Many screensavers featured a real-time animated display showing the volunteer's computer actively contributing to science. When a BOINC-attached machine sat idle, the screensaver would launch and visualise the underlying computation: radio telescope signals sweeping across a star field for [[SETI@home]], protein chains folding in three dimensions for [[Rosetta@home]], or a climate model globe spinning for [[climateprediction.net]].

As LCD and OLED monitors replaced phosphor-coated CRTs, the original technical justification for screensavers (preventing phosphor burn-in), became obsolete. BOINC projects gradually stopped shipping screensaver graphics. The gallery below preserves recordings of every known BOINC project screensaver. Click any '''▶''' link to watch the YouTube recording; where an animated GIF exists on [[Wikimedia Commons]], it appears in the left column.

== Technical background ==

=== How BOINC screensavers worked ===

The [[BOINC]] client on Windows and macOS registers itself as a system screensaver. When the machine idles, the BOINC screensaver coordinator launches and cycles between two display modes:

* '''Overview screensaver''' — a built-in BOINC display showing project list, credit totals, and connection status.
* '''Project graphics''' — a separate OpenGL executable shipped by each project, rendering the computation in real time via shared memory with the work unit.

Not all projects shipped graphics applications. Projects without one fell back to the overview screensaver. The graphics application literally showed the live computation in progress, which distinguished BOINC from most other screensaver-based volunteer computing platforms of the era.

=== Preservation ===

By the early 2010s, project screensavers were already disappearing: projects closed, graphics executables were dropped from client packages, and 32-bit OpenGL dependencies became incompatible with modern operating systems. Some recordings required virtual machines running Windows XP or Windows 7 to launch executables that no longer run on current systems. Animated GIF versions on [[Wikimedia Commons]] are limited to 256 colours; the YouTube recordings are the highest-fidelity versions available.

'''NanoHive@Home''' (often abbreviated '''NHAH''' or '''NH@H''') was a [[Volunteer computing|volunteer computing]] project running on the [https://boinc.berkeley.edu/ Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing] (BOINC) platform between 2006 and 2008. It was created by software architect Brian Helfrich and sponsored by the molecular [[Nanotechnology|nanotechnology]] software company Nanorex, Inc., with quantum chemist Dr. Damian G. Allis serving as project scientist.<ref>{{Cite web |title=NanoHive@Home: About Us |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070706233855/http://www.nanohive-1.org/atHome/about_us.php |website=nanohive-1.org (Wayback Machine) |date=2007 |access-date=2026-08-14}}</ref> The project's stated goal was "to perform large-scale nanosystems simulation and analysis that is otherwise too intensive to be calculated via normal means, and thereby enable further scientific study in the field of nanotechnology."<ref name="NanoHiveHomeIntroducti">{{Cite web |title=NanoHive@Home: Introduction |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070505234056/http://www.nanohive-1.org:80/atHome/ |website=nanohive-1.org (Wayback Machine) |date=2007-05-05 |access-date=2026-08-14}}</ref>

Unlike most BOINC projects of its era, NanoHive@Home was not run by a university. It was a not-for-profit effort attached to a commercial [[Computer-aided design|CAD]] software company, it was completely open source, and it placed all of its results in the public domain.<ref name="NanoHiveHomeIntroducti" /> Its single completed science campaign, the '''Tooltip Failure Mode Search Project''', ran from February to May 2007 and produced roughly 80,000 candidate molecular geometries and 200,000 quantum chemical calculations. Those results were eventually published in 2011 in the ''Journal of Computational and Theoretical Nanoscience''.<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Allis |first1=Damian G. |last2=Helfrich |first2=Brian |last3=Freitas |first3=Robert A. |last4=Merkle |first4=Ralph C. |title=Analysis of Diamondoid Mechanosynthesis Tooltip Pathologies Generated via a Distributed Computing Approach |journal=Journal of Computational and Theoretical Nanoscience |volume=8 |issue=7 |pages=1139-1161 |date=2011-07-01 |doi=10.1166/jctn.2011.1792 |publisher=American Scientific Publishers}}</ref>

The project is remembered fondly in the volunteer computing community for its unusually informative screensaver, which displayed the live quantum chemistry log of the molecule being optimized. A contemporary post in the BOINCstats forum called it "the project with the most cool screensaver."<ref>{{Cite web |title=Forum: Retired projects: Nano-hive @home |url=https://www.boincstats.com/forum/12/1209 |website=BOINCstats |date=2006 |access-date=2026-08-14}}</ref> Members of [[BOINC projects|BOINC Synergy]] were active on the project, and a BOINC Synergy member was featured as NanoHive@Home's "User of the Day" in May 2007.<ref name="NanoHiveHomeIntroducti" />

== Scientific background ==

[[File:Diamondoids.png|thumb|right|300px|Diamondoid cage hydrocarbons: adamantane (1), diamantane (2), triamantane (3) and a tetramantane (4). The tooltips studied by NanoHive@Home were germanium-substituted polymantanes built from cages of this kind.]]

=== Diamondoid mechanosynthesis ===

[[Mechanosynthesis]] is the proposed fabrication of structures by mechanically positioning individual reactive molecules so that chemical bonds are formed at chosen sites, rather than by allowing reagents to meet by diffusion in solution. In [[Molecular nanotechnology|molecular nanotechnology]], the most-studied variant is ''diamondoid mechanosynthesis'' (DMS), in which stiff hydrocarbon cage molecules ([[Adamantane|adamantane]], diamantane and larger polymantanes) act as the framework for a '''tooltip''' that carries a two-carbon feedstock unit, the carbon dimer <math>\mathrm{C}_2</math>, and deposits it onto a growing diamond workpiece.

The tooltips examined by NanoHive@Home came from a published survey of germanium-substituted polymantane dimer placement motifs by Robert A. Freitas Jr., Damian G. Allis and Ralph C. Merkle,<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Freitas |first1=Robert A. |last2=Allis |first2=Damian G. |last3=Merkle |first3=Ralph C. |title=Horizontal Ge-Substituted Polymantane-Based C2 Dimer Placement Tooltip Motifs for Diamond Mechanosynthesis |journal=Journal of Computational and Theoretical Nanoscience |volume=4 |issue=3 |pages=433-442 |date=May 2007 |url=http://www.MolecularAssembler.com/Papers/DPTMotifs.pdf}}</ref> and from the earlier DC10c tooltip study by Allis and K. Eric Drexler.<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Allis |first1=Damian G. |last2=Drexler |first2=K. Eric |title=Design and Analysis of a Molecular Tool for Carbon Transfer in Mechanosynthesis |journal=Journal of Computational and Theoretical Nanoscience |volume=2 |issue=1 |pages=45-55 |date=March 2005 |url=http://e-drexler.com/d/05/00/DC10C-mechanosynthesis.pdf}}</ref> In these designs the dimer is held between two germanium atoms, so the reactive geometry can be written schematically as <math>\mathrm{Ge}\cdots\mathrm{C}_2\cdots\mathrm{Ge}</math>.

=== Why failure modes matter ===

A tooltip is only useful if the geometry that performs the chemistry, the "ready" or ''loaded'' tooltip, is also the geometry the molecule prefers to sit in. If some other arrangement of the same atoms is lower in energy and reachable, the tool can quietly rearrange itself into a shape that can no longer transfer its dimer. Allis described the distinction between reactivity and stability with characteristic humour on the project site:

<blockquote>"A knife with its blade exposed is certainly the more functional geometry for such an object, but the knife with its blade retracted into the handle is the geometry least likely to damage the blade."<ref>{{Cite web |last=Allis |first=Damian G. |title=The Q-SMAKAS Tooltip Failure Mode Search Project |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070606082448/http://www.nanohive-1.org/atHome/Nanofactory_1_Damian.php |website=nanohive-1.org (Wayback Machine) |date=2007 |access-date=2026-08-14}}</ref></blockquote>

Because a manufacturing system might cycle a tooltip on the order of <math>10^{12}</math> to <math>10^{23}</math> times, even rare rearrangements matter. Allis pointed out that a tool surviving <math>10^{12}</math> operations at one operation per 100 nanoseconds lasts a little under ten days, while <math>10^{23}</math> operations at the same rate would last roughly 2.7 million years. Cataloguing the accessible defect geometries, or ''pathologies'', of each candidate tooltip was therefore treated as a necessary last step of tooltip design, and it was exactly the kind of embarrassingly parallel search that volunteer computing does well.

== The Q-SMAKAS method ==

[[File:Adamantane 3D ball.png|thumb|left|260px|Ball-and-stick model of adamantane, the smallest diamondoid cage. Tooltip frameworks in the NanoHive@Home survey were built from adamantane, diamantane, iceane and twistane cages with germanium substitutions.]]

The search protocol devised for the project was named '''Q-SMAKAS''', for ''Quantum Search for Minimum Alternatives in Kinetically-Accessible Space''. Allis contrasted it with the lower-energy conformational searching used by protein folding projects, which he labelled Q-SMACS: "Q-SMACS is to a hot water bottle what Q-SMAKAS is to a lit match."

The pipeline had three stages.<ref>{{Cite web |title=NanoHive@Home: Results Gallery, Experimental process |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070825144023/http://www.nanohive-1.org/atHome/results_gallery.php |website=nanohive-1.org (Wayback Machine) |date=2007-08-25 |access-date=2026-08-14}}</ref>

# '''Reference optimization.''' Each tooltip was first energy-minimized with Sandia National Laboratories' Massively Parallel Quantum Chemistry program ([http://www.mpqc.org/ MPQC]) at the restricted [[Hartree-Fock method|Hartree-Fock]] RHF/3-21G level of theory. Seven of the larger tooltips (MCB5Ge, MCB57Ge, DCB75Ge, C100GeATD, C100GeATS, C100GeCTS and MCB75Ge) converged too slowly and were run at RHF/STO-3G instead.
# '''Thermal deformation.''' Using the optimized geometry, a [[Molecular dynamics|molecular dynamics]] simulation was run in [https://www.gromacs.org/ GROMACS] for 50,000 iterations at high temperature, with a snapshot taken every 40 to 50 iterations. The thermal energy shook each cage far away from its designed shape, generating kinetically accessible deformations.
# '''Distributed re-optimization.''' Every snapshot became a BOINC work unit: a fresh RHF/3-21G or RHF/STO-3G geometry optimization that relaxed the deformed structure downhill into whatever local minimum it happened to fall into. Volunteers' computers performed the overwhelming majority of these optimizations.

The severity of the deformation was tracked with the root-mean-square deviation of atomic positions relative to the reference geometry,

:<math>\mathrm{RMSD} = \sqrt{\frac{1}{N}\sum_{i=1}^{N}\left| \mathbf{r}_i - \mathbf{r}_i^{0} \right|^{2}}</math>

where <math>\mathbf{r}_i</math> is the position of atom <math>i</math> in the snapshot and <math>\mathbf{r}_i^{0}</math> its position in the reference structure. A baseline run at 1500 K produced only <math>\mathrm{RMSD}\approx 0.02</math> and yielded no failure modes at all. The team therefore stepped the thermostat upward in 500 K increments, through 2000 K, 2500 K, 3000 K, 3500 K, 4000 K and 4500 K, until deformations of at least <math>\mathrm{RMSD}\approx 0.04</math> were obtained. Several candidate failure modes appeared at that level. Work unit names encoded the run temperature with a letter, from ''z'' for 1500 K through ''t'' for 4500 K.

Energies were reported in [[Hartree|hartree]], the atomic unit of energy, with completely dissociated nuclei and electrons defined as the zero of energy, so that bound molecules have negative total energies. Only structures with identical atom counts computed at identical levels of theory were compared, and the quantity of interest was the relative energy

:<math>\Delta E = E_{\mathrm{defect}} - E_{\mathrm{ready}}, \qquad 1\ E_{\mathrm{h}} \approx 2625.5\ \mathrm{kJ\ mol^{-1}}</math>

A defect with <math>\Delta E < 0</math> is more stable than the working tooltip, which is the unwelcome case: the tool "wants" to be broken. The project shoutbox recorded a participant asking what the recurring note "dimer cracked" meant, and the project engineer explaining that a crack in the tooltip base which lowers the energy "is not good because then it means the tooltip naturally _wants_ to be in a broken configuration."

A crucial caveat, stated plainly by the project and repeated in the published paper, is that Q-SMAKAS locates minima but not the barriers between them. Whether a given pathology is reachable in a working device depends on the transition state energy <math>E_a</math> and the operating temperature through a Boltzmann-type factor,

:<math>k \propto \exp \left( -\frac{E_a}{k_{\mathrm{B}}T} \right)</math>

so identifying accessible minima was explicitly framed as an important but separate follow-up problem.

== Simulation campaigns ==

=== FineMotionController_1 (beta) ===

The first simulation run on the network was a beta test payload. It tested the molecular stability of the '''fine-motion controller''' for molecular assembly, a mechanism designed by K. Eric Drexler in which eight rotating rings drive struts attached to a platform, giving fine control of the platform in the ''x'', ''y'', ''z'', roll, pitch and yaw degrees of freedom.<ref>{{Cite web |title=NanoHive@Home: Current Simulations |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070701135443/http://www.nanohive-1.org/atHome/current_simulations.php |website=nanohive-1.org (Wayback Machine) |date=2007-07-01 |access-date=2026-08-14}}</ref> The simulation was marked "over" by early 2007.

=== Nanofactory_1: the Tooltip Failure Mode Search Project ===

[[File:Molecularpropeller.jpg|thumb|right|300px|A molecular propeller, one of the hypothetical nanoscale machine components of the kind whose feasibility motivated projects such as NanoHive@Home. The NanoHive-1 simulator was written as a general tool for studying such structures.]]

The project's only full science campaign was announced on 24 January 2007, with work units queued from 29 January 2007. The news post promised that this run would behave "more like a typical BOINC project": no cap on work units per host, the whole batch queued more or less at once, and deadlines of about one week.<ref>{{Cite web |title=NanoHive@Home: News archive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070826103208/http://www.nanohive-1.org/atHome/old_news.php |website=nanohive-1.org (Wayback Machine) |date=2007-08-26 |access-date=2026-08-14}}</ref>

The target set consisted of 25 published carbon dimer tooltips, each examined in both a '''loaded''' state (L, holding the <math>\mathrm{C}_2</math> feedstock and ready to deposit) and an '''unloaded''' state (U, after deposition and awaiting recharge), giving 50 structures in all. Named tooltips in the results gallery included DC10c, AdamGe22, AdamGe33, Diad3Ge22, TwistaneGe, DCBIceane7Ge, the DCB series (DCB5Ge, DCB6Ge, DCB55AGe, DCB55BGe, DCB55CGe, DCB57Ge, DCB65Ge, DCB75Ge), the MCB series (MCB5Ge, MCB55Ge, MCB57Ge, MCB75Ge) and the C100/C110/C111 germanium tooltips. Three further molecules, [[Biotin|biotin]], ''n''-heptane and ''n''-octane, were run as method evaluation cases to check whether the same machinery could be used at ordinary temperatures for plain [[Conformational isomerism|conformational]] searching.

On 24 April 2007 the project announced that the campaign was "coming to a successful end" and that results were being organized for the Results Gallery and for peer-reviewed publication. Both the loaded and unloaded galleries were duly posted, with PDB coordinate files, energies and per-defect commentary for each structure.

=== HiveArena (never launched) ===

A third simulation, '''HiveArena''', was listed as "in dev." but never ran. It was a plan for a public competition in which entrants would submit nanobot designs into the NanoHive-1 simulation space and compete at goals such as a speed race, a last-bot-standing melee, or a challenge to disassemble a population of hostile "virus" bots. Volunteers would have watched the contests unfold in the screensaver before anyone else, with crunching teams credited in order of work units contributed and winning teams choosing the soundtrack. The project even published a frequently asked question about how it would prevent participants from cheating by falsifying results, answering that the simulation space was subdivided very finely and that every work unit was independently checked by a second, and if necessary a third, participant.

== Technology ==

=== NanoHive-1 ===

At its core, NanoHive@Home ran the '''NanoHive-1 Nanospace Simulator''', a modular simulator written by Brian Helfrich for modelling the physical world at nanometer scale.<ref>{{Cite web |title=NanoHive@Home: Simulation Software |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070701135840/http://www.nanohive-1.org/atHome/simulation_software.php |website=nanohive-1.org (Wayback Machine) |date=2007-07-01 |access-date=2026-08-14}}</ref> NanoHive-1 was designed around two problems: the sheer number of interacting factors involved in simulating nanospace, and the computational intensity of evaluating those factors for every atom at every time and space quantum. Its answer was a plugin framework in which physical interaction calculators, entity traversal schemes, data import and export formats, results management and simulation control were all replaceable modules.

Successive releases added plugins that are visible in the project's methodology, including ''MPQC_SClib'', which wrapped the Scientific Computing toolkit of the Massively Parallel Quantum Chemistry program, ''BasicCellTraverser'' for multithreaded subdivision of the simulation space, ''AIREBO'' for the adaptive intermolecular reactive empirical bond order potential, ''OpenBabelImportExport'' for file format conversion, and ''SocketsControl'' for driving the simulator over TCP. Version 1.2.0 Beta 1, released in February 2006, was the release that made NanoHive-1 "fully distributable across computing networks."<ref>{{Cite web |title=NanoHive Nanospace Simulator: News |url=https://sourceforge.net/p/nano-hive/news/ |website=SourceForge |access-date=2026-08-14}}</ref> The simulator is written in C and C++ with TCL used for simulation workflow scripting, and is distributed under the GNU GPL version 2 and LGPL version 2.<ref>{{Cite web |title=NanoHive Nanospace Simulator |url=https://sourceforge.net/projects/nano-hive/ |website=SourceForge |access-date=2026-08-14}}</ref>

=== BOINC integration ===

BOINC was bolted onto NanoHive-1 with two purpose-written plugins:

* '''BOINC_PIC_Control''' connected the master NanoHive-1 instance to the BOINC server components, generating and re-assimilating work units. "PIC" stands for ''Physical Interaction Calculator'', which in practice means one computer running NanoHive-1, or a cluster sharing memory.
* '''BOINC_ClientControl''' connected the participant's BOINC main program to the slave NanoHive-1 instance, unpacking and launching the graphics and screensaver program and the simulator, monitoring progress, and reporting claimed credit back through the BOINC Manager.

All of the NanoHive@Home components were open source and were distributed through the SourceForge CVS repository for the ''nano-hive'' project, with anonymous pserver checkout documented on the project website.

The applications page listed two BOINC applications: the original ''Nano-Hive@Home'' application, version 5.08 for Windows/x86, installed 4 October 2006, and ''NHAH Quantum Search for Minimum Alternatives in Kinetically-Accessible Space'', version 5.08 for Windows/x86, Windows/amd64 and Windows/x86_64, installed 22 March 2007.<ref>{{Cite web |title=NanoHive@Home: Applications |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071005181148/http://www.nanohive-1.org/atHome/apps.php |website=nanohive-1.org (Wayback Machine) |date=2007-10-05 |access-date=2026-08-14}}</ref>

=== Client requirements and work unit characteristics ===

[[File:BOINC Manager Screenshot.jpg|thumb|right|230px|The BOINC Manager. Volunteers attached to NanoHive@Home by entering the project URL http://www.nanohive-1.org/atHome/ , taking care with the capital "H" in "atHome".]]

The published system requirements covered Windows XP Professional and Home (Service Pack 1 or 2), Windows XP Tablet PC Edition, Windows Server 2003, Windows 2000 (Service Pack 2) and Windows NT (Service Pack 6 or 6a), with 128 MB of RAM (256 MB recommended) and up to 100 MB of free disk space. Mac and Linux clients were described as "in development" and a Solaris client as "planned"; none of them was ever released.<ref>{{Cite web |title=NanoHive@Home: Getting Started |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070620160625/http://www.nanohive-1.org/atHome/getting_started.php |website=nanohive-1.org (Wayback Machine) |date=2007-06-20 |access-date=2026-08-14}}</ref>

The extreme spread in run time, from under an hour to nearly six days, was not a scheduling accident. As the project explained, it is "intrinsic to the search algorithm in our quantum mechanics software": a geometry optimization takes as many steps as the potential energy surface demands, and a badly mangled 4500 K snapshot can wander for a very long time before it settles.

Credit followed a quorum rule. With two valid results, the canonical credit was the mean of the two valid claims,

:<math>C = \frac{1}{2}\left(c_1 + c_2\right)</math>

and both claimants received it, while other participants who had made a reasonable attempt received their own claim capped at <math>C</math>. With three or more valid results the highest and lowest claims were discarded before averaging.

=== The screensaver ===

The screensaver was the project's signature feature and doubled as a genuine progress readout.<ref>{{Cite web |title=NanoHive@Home: Screensaver Graphics |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070627121240/http://www.nanohive-1.org/atHome/screensaver_graphics.php |website=nanohive-1.org (Wayback Machine) |date=2007-06-27 |access-date=2026-08-14}}</ref> Down the left side it showed the participant's username, team, host credit and total credit. Beneath that came the work unit identifier, which was itself descriptive: a molecule name, an ''L'' or ''U'' marking a loaded or unloaded tooltip, and a ''deform_#'' suffix identifying which thermally deformed variant was being computed. The BOINC slot number, CPU time, percentage complete and a progress bar followed.

The most distinctive element was the live activity log, which exposed the two nested loops of the quantum chemical optimization. Energy iterations printed as, for example, ''12.06 dE=2.024e-005 [3.337e-006]'', where ''12'' is the geometry optimization iteration, ''06'' the energy iteration within it, ''dE'' the achieved energy convergence

:<math>\mathrm{dE} = \left| E_n - E_{n-1} \right|</math>

and the bracketed figure the target accuracy. Optimization steps printed their own convergence tests on the maximum gradient and maximum displacement, each with its threshold in brackets and a plain "yes" or "no" for whether the criterion had been met. In effect volunteers watched the molecule roll downhill toward a minimum in real time.

=== Closure ===

No further campaign followed the tooltip survey. Helfrich's curriculum vitae records his tenure at Nanorex in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan as running from June 2006 to June 2008, during which he "created and managed a project to find failure modes for 25 published carbon-dimer mechanosynthesis tooltips" and "implemented a ~10,000 node, globally distributed computing network to run the project (nanohive-1.org/atHome)".<ref>{{Cite web |title=Personnel File: Brian Helfrich |url=https://www.helcorp.com/bhelfrich/ |website=Helcorp |access-date=2026-08-14}}</ref> A message posted to the BOINCstats forum on 2 October 2008 quoted Helfrich's reply to a participant's query about the project's future:

<blockquote>"Yes, sad to say, NHAH is dead. I no longer work at Nanorex and they have no interest in keeping it alive, so it's over."</blockquote>

Forum members reacted with regret, and asked whether the statistics could be archived, since the project had disappeared from the BOINCstats project menu into the retired projects section. As BOINCstats' operator explained in the same thread, retired projects continue to have user, team and country credit preserved, but host credit is no longer updated and retired projects are excluded from BOINC combined statistics.

== Participation and statistics ==

NanoHive@Home was a modest project by credit, but a well-populated one by headcount for a company-run effort with a Windows-only client and a single science run.

[[File:Nanob.jpg|thumb|left|280px|A conceptual rendering of a molecular nanotechnology device. NanoHive@Home's practical contribution was less glamorous and more useful: an exhaustive catalogue of the ways in which such structures can quietly break.]]

The Q-SMAKAS survey generated approximately 80,000 tooltip geometries which were used in 200,000 geometry optimizations at the RHF/3-21G or RHF/STO-3G levels. Those optimizations were catalogued, grouped by energy and geometry, and analysed to identify pathologies for both loaded and unloaded tooltips.

Several classes of defect emerged from the analysis:

* '''Hydrogen migration.''' In most stable tooltips, migration of hydrogen is assumed to be the most accessible route to an inoperative structure, a mode earlier work called "hydrogen poisoning". For the DCB65Ge tooltip, hydrogen insertion was the ''only'' pathology found, indicating an unusually deformation-resistant framework.
* '''Hydrogen inversion.''' The most common defect encountered was a C-H group on the outer surface of a cage flipping so that the hydrogen points into the hollow interior. The project frankly identified this as largely an artefact of the method, arising from the mismatch between light hydrogen momenta and the classical molecular dynamics time step, and described it with the memorable image of "reaching for your mouse with your right arm and instead firmly grasping your pancreas." Standard workarounds noted in the paper are smaller time steps, artificially increasing the hydrogen mass, or subsuming hydrogen into its heavy atom.
* '''Ge-C framework bond breaking''', and the combined case of Ge-C breaking with formation of a C=C pi bond, which can produce very stable geometries and therefore demand large transition state barriers if the tooltip is to remain operable.
* '''Ge-Ge bond formation''' in unloaded tooltips, which is not necessarily harmful: by raising the barrier to other defects it may stabilize the tool during the interval between depositing one dimer and being recharged with the next.
* '''Conformational differences at the tooltip base.''' The paper singles this out as one of the more interesting outcomes, since controlling base conformation had not previously been considered as a route to tooltip design optimization.

One quantitative example given in the published discussion concerns the L1 to L2 rearrangement, in which the only identified loaded-tooltip pathology, a CH<sub>2</sub> torsion at the base opposite the dimer binding site, lies 1.3 kJ/mol below the operational geometry while the transition state for the rearrangement sits at 51 kJ/mol at the B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) level.

The method evaluation molecules were equally important to the project's argument. Running the same machinery at 300 K rather than 3000 K turned Q-SMAKAS into an ordinary conformational search, and the resulting surveys of biotin, ''n''-heptane and ''n''-octane demonstrated that the NanoHive@Home framework was useful for generating and optimizing molecular conformations in general, not only for torturing diamondoid cages.

The paper also drew a methodological lesson about volunteer computing itself, observing that both the speed and ultimately the quality of a calculation are dictated by the hardware the participants happen to own, and recommending that researchers survey the machines available to them before fixing the constraints of a quantum chemistry study.

The project's results were published four years after the science run ended, in the July 2011 issue of the ''Journal of Computational and Theoretical Nanoscience''.

== Legacy ==

NanoHive@Home is one of relatively few BOINC projects to have carried an entire published quantum chemistry study from work unit to journal page, and it is unusual among them in having been organized by a private company that then dissolved the effort. Its lasting contributions are the peer-reviewed pathology catalogue, the demonstration that a molecular dynamics plus quantum chemistry pipeline can be split across tens of thousands of consumer machines, and the observation that the same protocol run cold serves as a general conformational search engine.

Its practical successor in subject matter is [[NanoHUB@Home|nanoHUB@Home]], a later BOINC project supporting nanoscience and nanotechnology research at nanoHUB.org, though the two share no code or personnel. Chemistry-oriented BOINC projects that followed similar quantum chemical or conformational search strategies include [[QMC@Home]], [[QuChemPedIA@home]], [[Leiden Classical]], [[eOn]] and [[Spinhenge@home]]. NanoHive-1 itself remains available on SourceForge.

The project also survives as a small piece of volunteer computing folklore. Its screensaver appears in period discussions as a benchmark for how engaging a BOINC display could be, and threads announcing its beta rounds on AnandTech and BOINCstats preserve a detailed record of what it felt like to test a young BOINC project in 2006.<ref>{{Cite web |title=NanoHive@Home now beta testing |url=https://forums.anandtech.com/threads/nanohive-home-now-beta-testing.1892599/ |website=AnandTech Forums |date=2006 |access-date=2026-08-14}}</ref>

== Background and goals ==

The Missouri Botanical Garden, founded in 1859, is one of the oldest botanical institutions in the United States and maintains a major research library of rare botanical literature.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missouri_Botanical_Garden |title=Missouri Botanical Garden |publisher=Wikipedia |access-date=August 14, 2026}}</ref> Much of that literature is scarce or unique, and scientists have traditionally travelled to St. Louis to consult it. To make the collection widely available, the Garden digitizes books and journals through its Botanicus digital library, and in October 2005 it received a grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), a United States federal agency, to build SciLINC as a three-year project.<ref name="botanicus"/><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.chrisfreeland.com/Freeland_CV.pdf |title=Christopher David Freeland: Curriculum Vitae |publisher=ChrisFreeland.com |access-date=August 14, 2026}}</ref> Chris Freeland was the project's listed contact at the Garden, and Ron Parker wrote the project's news pages and development blog.<ref name="botanicus"/><ref name="june22"/><ref>{{cite web |url=https://scilincdev.blogspot.com/2006/10/boinc.html |title=SciLINC, Scientific Literature Indexing on Networked Computers |first=Ron |last=Parker |work=SciLINC Dev |date=October 3, 2006 |access-date=August 14, 2026}}</ref>

The project description on Botanicus set out four primary goals:<ref name="botanicus"/>

# Increase public access to nationally significant scientific literature held by the Missouri Botanical Garden Library.
# Enhance the usefulness of the digitized materials by creating a web repository of scanned literature, keywords and online resources with tools for searching and analysis.
# Create an educational tool for learning about plant life: while indexing keywords, the participant's computer would display information about each plant name being processed, including descriptive data, images, maps and annotated links.
# Provide a model for adopting public-resource computing applications within the library community, where such applications "have been successfully employed in research and museum communities" but "so far have not been applied within libraries".

The keywords identified by SciLINC were to be derived from the Garden's botanical databases and would include plant names, place names, authors and other phrases of interest to people studying plants, each annotated with links to related online resources.<ref name="botanicus"/>

== Design and operation ==

SciLINC used [[BOINC]], the Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing, the open-source volunteer computing platform developed at the University of California, Berkeley, which also powers projects such as [[SETI@home]] and [[World Community Grid]].<ref>{{cite web |url=https://boinc.berkeley.edu/ |title=BOINC: Open-source software for volunteer computing |publisher=University of California, Berkeley |access-date=August 14, 2026}}</ref> The project packaged OCR text of scanned botanical pages into workunits and sent them, along with a name-finding algorithm, to volunteers' computers, which then reported back the locations of scientific names and index terms found in the text.<ref name="freeland2011"/> Participants joined by installing the BOINC client and attaching to the project URL <code>http://www.scilinc.org/SciLINC/</code>.<ref name="june22"/>

The volunteer application was named TaxonGrab. As listed on the project's applications page, version 1.39 ran on Microsoft Windows 98 or later on Intel x86-compatible processors, while the first results reported on March 29, 2007 were produced by a Linux version.<ref name="oldnews"/><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.scilinc.org/apps.php |title=SciLINC: Applications |publisher=Missouri Botanical Garden |date=June 27, 2007 |access-date=August 14, 2026 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070627230850/http://www.scilinc.org/apps.php |archive-date=June 27, 2007 |url-status=dead}}</ref> Participants operated under standard BOINC rules and policies: the software had to be run only on authorized computers, volunteers could control how much CPU power, disk space and bandwidth SciLINC used, and account names, along with a summary of each computer's work, could be shown on the project website.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.scilinc.org/info.php |title=SciLINC: Read our rules and policies |publisher=Missouri Botanical Garden |access-date=August 14, 2026 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071023063008/http://www.scilinc.org/info.php |archive-date=October 23, 2007 |url-status=dead}}</ref> Volunteers earned BOINC credit for completed work, though the team later acknowledged that "a relatively small amount of credit" was earned for "a comparatively large load" on participants' systems.<ref name="june22"/>

During 2006, Parker documented development on the SciLINC Dev blog, covering topics such as installing the BOINC server software on CentOS and Fedora Core Linux, running the server under Xen virtualization, and a summary of a BOINC community conference question and answer session with BOINC founder David P. Anderson and SETI@home scientist Eric Korpela.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://scilincdev.blogspot.com/2006/11/linux-boinc-server-centos-4.html |title=Linux BOINC Server CentOS-4 Installation |first=Ron |last=Parker |work=SciLINC Dev |date=November 19, 2006 |access-date=August 14, 2026}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://scilincdev.blogspot.com/2006/12/boinc-conference-summary.html |title=BOINC Conference Summary |first=Ron |last=Parker |work=SciLINC Dev |date=December 19, 2006 |access-date=August 14, 2026}}</ref> The blog also recorded the project's design philosophy, borrowed from the BOINC literature: to make efficient use of public-resource computing, the compute time of the client must be relatively large compared to the data-transfer time required, that is

<math>t_{\text{compute}} \gg t_{\text{transfer}}</math>

== History ==

SciLINC went online on March 22, 2007, with the project team expecting to "be processing work within a few days".<ref name="oldnews"/> On March 29, 2007 the server sent out its first set of workunits and received its first results, running on Linux, with a Windows version announced as coming shortly.<ref name="oldnews"/> The project had originally operated on the Garden's internal network, and on May 14, 2007 the server was moved to the public Internet at www.scilinc.org; a server outage followed a few days later, and the recovery process, which involved changing the BOINC server's name, was documented on the development blog.<ref name="oldnews"/><ref>{{cite web |url=https://scilincdev.blogspot.com/2007/05/problems-changing-boinc-servers-name.html |title=Problems changing a BOINC server's name |first=Ron |last=Parker |work=SciLINC Dev |date=May 21, 2007 |access-date=August 14, 2026}}</ref>

On June 1, 2007 the project announced that results from SciLINC were being passed to Botanicus.<ref name="oldnews"/> In mid June the project hit a series of setbacks: on June 15 the process that gathered work for SciLINC "filled the drive with everything it could find in the vaults" (images, PDFs and more); on June 16 an electrical transient in the building housing the server corrupted the MySQL database, including the SciLINC results table; and on June 18 new account creation was temporarily disabled.<ref name="oldnews"/> Around the same time, volunteers on the BOINCstats and BOINC forums reported that the roughly 50 files served per workunit were causing high CPU load in the core BOINC client.<ref name="oldnews"/> On June 19 the team restored the database but disabled the sending of new workunits, warning that pending results might never receive credit.<ref name="oldnews"/>

The decisive announcement came on June 22, 2007 in a news item titled "SciLINC Update". The team reported that goals 1, 2 and 4 had been met (Botanicus was processing SciLINC's output, and the project had demonstrated the library use of public-resource computing), but that "the workunits fly by so rapidly" that the educational screensaver of goal 3 had never become realistic. It also noted that the BOINC community had discovered the project before the team was ready to announce it. The update concluded that "for now all SciLINC computation will be performed internally", with hopes of returning to volunteers with more computationally intensive analyses and "a better credit-reward ratio (and nicer screensaver)".<ref name="june22"/> Internal testing continued at the end of June, with the scheduler briefly unavailable to Internet users on June 27, 2007.<ref name="june22"/>

Public participation wound down quickly after that. BOINCstats, which had last imported SciLINC's statistics on July 24, 2007, later labelled the project "no longer active" with its statistics "frozen on the day of the last update".<ref name="boincstats"/> The website, still bearing the June 2007 news, remained online through 2009, and was gone by the late 2010s.<ref name="oldnews"/>

== Data economics and the end of public computing ==

The June 22, 2007 update explained in unusual detail why text indexing was a poor fit for volunteer computing. The team calculated that SciLINC would have needed to transfer roughly 250 MiB of compressed data to occupy a modern CPU for one day; this would expand to nearly 660 MiB of input data, and the client would then upload about 44 MiB of results, which would compress to 17 MiB. The input data therefore expanded by a factor of

<math>660/250 = 2.64</math>

while the results compressed by a similar factor,

<math>44/17 \approx 2.59</math>

These numbers, the team said, "have only grown as SciLINC has been improved and made more efficient", and they were "not acceptable to the average BOINC user". The project lead's working rule, stated in the same update, was that from a technological and economic standpoint it makes sense to use public-resource computing in place of an internal grid architecture whenever less than a gigabyte of data is required per CPU-day of computation, that is

<math>D < 1\ \text{GiB per CPU-day}</math>

For a volunteer on dial-up giving SciLINC just 1% of their BOINC time, the daily computation would last

<math>0.01 \times 24 \times 60 = 14.4</math>

minutes, about 15 minutes, during which roughly 2.5 MiB would have to be downloaded; the team observed that for dial-up users "the transfer time would exceed the computation time". Even setting transfer concerns aside, the Garden simply did not have enough text to "realistically occupy hundred or thousands of BOINC enthusiasts for a lengthy period of time", and the work itself, "text-indexing and taxonomic analysis", had "a relatively low mathematical complexity". Freeland later summarized the experience: "we ran out of jobs in about 2 days because text indexing isn't processor intensive; the best BOINC projects take small inputs that require lots of computing resources."<ref name="june22"/><ref name="freeland2011"/>

== Project statistics ==

The following figures are the final values recorded by BOINCstats before the project's statistics were frozen on July 24, 2007:<ref name="boincstats"/>

== Results and legacy ==

SciLINC's principal scientific output was the indexing of digitized botanical literature that fed the Garden's Botanicus portal, where full text searching and name-based discovery were integrated beginning in June 2007.<ref name="oldnews"/> By December 2008 Botanicus reported 577 titles (books and journals), 2,548 volumes and 1,079,660 pages online, along with 184,750 links to protologues (original species descriptions).<ref name="botanicus"/>

The project's longest lasting influence was methodological. Freeland wrote that SciLINC preceded the team's work on TaxonFinder, the algorithm and service, provided by uBio, that the Biodiversity Heritage Library (BHL) incorporated into its portal to identify and verify taxonomic name strings across its digitized corpus.<ref name="freeland2011"/><ref name="idealstnr"/> The experience also taught the team how jobs are packaged for distribution to volunteers "and the kinds of inputs and outputs that are successful in an asynchronous computing environment", a lesson Freeland later applied to proposals for "purposeful gaming" for the BHL, where human spare cycles, rather than CPU cycles, would improve digitized library metadata.<ref name="freeland2011"/> That idea grew into BHL's Purposeful Gaming project, funded by IMLS and run by the Garden's Center for Biodiversity Informatics from 2013 to 2015.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://about.biodiversitylibrary.org/projects/past-projects/purposeful-gaming/ |title=Purposeful Gaming |publisher=Biodiversity Heritage Library |access-date=August 14, 2026}}</ref> The team's lessons were collected in the unpublished IMLS final report, "SciLINC Final Report", with an appendix, linked from Freeland's 2011 blog post.<ref name="freeland2011"/>

SciLINC itself did not publish scientific papers; its findings were reported to the funding agency and in blog posts. The techniques and systems it demonstrated appear in the following works. The first describes TaxonGrab, a rule-based technique for extracting taxonomic names from text; SciLINC's Windows volunteer application carried the same name.

One is palindromic, where the nucleotides in the beginning of the model have their complement at the end of the model. The other model type is reverse complement, which doesn't assume the model to be palindromic, but looks for either the forward or reverse version of the model.

One is palindromic, where the nucleotides in the beginning of the model have their complement at the end of the model. The other model type is reverse complement, which doesn't assume the model to be palindromic, but looks for either the forward or reverse version of the model.

<span class="bs-definition-label">What is a BOINC project?</span>
'''A BOINC project''' is a website and associated server set up by an individual or group to distribute applications to [https://boinc.berkeley.edu/ BOINC] volunteer computing devices. Those devices deliberately attach to receive, process, and return results for further scientific research — at no cost to the researcher, and no cost to the volunteer beyond electricity.

''BOINC'' stands for '''Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing''', developed at the University of California, Berkeley. Any researcher can create a BOINC project; any person can donate their idle CPU or GPU time to one.

<div class="bs-cta">
<div class="bs-cta-title">📋 The BOINC Projects Master Table</div>
<div class="bs-cta-body">The [[BOINC projects|List of all BOINC projects]] table is the heart of this wiki — a structured, sortable reference covering project name, research field, institution, supported platforms, active status, GPU support, and more. It is the primary reason this resource exists and the most complete registry of BOINC projects available anywhere.</div>

<div class="bs-cta-title">📺 BOINC Project Screensaver Archive</div>
<div class="bs-cta-body">Before modern power management made them obsolete, every BOINC project shipped a real-time animated screensaver showing the computation in progress, including protein chains folding, star fields sweeping and climate models spinning. All 71 known screensaver recordings, spanning projects from SETI@home to Pirates@Home, are now preserved in one place.</div>

'''Virtual Prairie''' (also referred to as '''ViP''') was a completed [[BOINC]] [[wikipedia:volunteer computing|volunteer computing]] project that studied the ecology of [[wikipedia:prairie|prairie]] and [[wikipedia:grassland|grassland]] ecosystems through large-scale individual-based simulation of [[wikipedia:clonal colony|clonal plant]] growth.<ref name="uh2009">{{cite web |authors=University of Houston |title=Virtual Prairie Project With Garbey as PI Taking Off |url=https://www.uh.edu/nsm/computer-science/news-events/stories/2009/0422_garbey_02.php |website=University of Houston |date=22 April 2009 |access-date=26 July 2026}}</ref> The project was jointly led by Professor Marc Garbey of the [[wikipedia:University of Houston|University of Houston]] Department of Computer Science and Assistant Professor Cendrine Mony of the [[wikipedia:University of Rennes 1|University of Rennes 1]], and combined high-performance computing with BOINC-based volunteer computing to model how agricultural and land-management practices affect plant competition and genetic structure within prairies.<ref name="sicortex2009">{{cite press release |authors=SiCortex, Inc. |title=Leading International Universities Use SiCortex Computers to Protect Prairial Systems |date=17 February 2009 |location=Maynard, Massachusetts}}</ref>

The project's goal was to help design new grassland systems that balance water purification, biodiversity conservation, and carbon storage.<ref name="sicortex2009" /> At the time it was described by its organizers as the world's largest ecological simulation.<ref name="sicortex2009" />

[[File:Restored tallgrass prairie in DuPage County, Illinois.jpg|thumb|right|Prairie grassland ecosystems, like this restored tallgrass prairie in Illinois, provide ecological services such as water purification, biodiversity support, and carbon storage that the Virtual Prairie project sought to help optimize.]]

== Background ==
Environmental policy developments of the 2000s, including the European [[wikipedia:Common Agricultural Policy|Common Agricultural Policy]] reforms of 2005 and France's Grenelle Environment Forum of 2007, focused new attention on the ecological services provided by grassland ecosystems, particularly the availability of unpolluted fresh water and the regulation of carbon emissions.<ref name="uh2009" /> Natural prairies had historically been studied mainly for their agricultural productivity, but researchers increasingly sought to understand and reproduce their broader ecological functions, including nitrate pollution remediation, erosion prevention, and habitat stability for vulnerable species.<ref name="uh2011">{{cite web |authors=University of Houston |title=Protecting Ecosystems, Pollution Remediation Goals of Research at UH |url=https://www.uh.edu/nsm/news-events/stories/2011/0307_ecosystems.php |website=University of Houston |date=7 March 2011 |access-date=26 July 2026}}</ref>

Virtual Prairie approached this problem computationally: since a prairie is a complex system with emergent properties arising from the interaction of many individual plants, the project's researchers built an [[wikipedia:individual-based model|individual-based model]] (IBM), sometimes described as an [[wikipedia:agent-based model|agent-based model]], to simulate the growth of clonal plants at the level of individual ramets (the repeated modular units of a clonal plant network) and to test which combinations of plant traits and management strategies produced the best ecological outcomes.<ref name="ecolmodel2011" />

== Research design and computational methods ==

=== Individual-based clonal plant model ===
The core simulation, referred to in publications as the CLONAL model, represented a clonal plant as a network of interconnected ramets that could share and store resources.<ref name="ecolmodel2011">{{cite journal |authors=Cendrine Mony, Marc Garbey, Malek Smaoui, Marie-Lise Benot |title=Large scale parameter study of an individual-based model of clonal plant with volunteer computing |journal=Ecological Modelling |volume=222 |issue=4 |pages=935–946 |date=2011 |doi=10.1016/j.ecolmodel.2010.10.014}}</ref> The model incorporated nine growth rules governing metabolic processes, plant architecture, and resource sharing and storage, controlled by nineteen input parameters.<ref name="researchgate-smaoui">{{cite web |authors=Malek Smaoui |title=Research works (profile excerpt discussing the CLONAL model parameter study) |url=https://www.researchgate.net/scientific-contributions/Malek-Smaoui-74531876 |website=ResearchGate |access-date=26 July 2026}}</ref>

Rather than testing only a small, expert-selected subset of parameter combinations, as was typical in earlier ecological modelling literature, the project's researchers chose two to four candidate values for each of the nineteen parameters and tested essentially all resulting combinations, an approach only made tractable through volunteer computing:<ref name="researchgate-smaoui" />

<math>N = \prod_{i=1}^{19} k_i \approx 2 \times 10^{7}</math>

where <math>k_i</math> is the number of candidate values tested for parameter <math>i</math>. Sources close to the project reported the resulting simulation count slightly differently depending on the run being described, with the February 2009 project press release citing more than 22 million completed simulations in the first phase of the project<ref name="sicortex2009" /> and the project's 2011 journal paper describing roughly 20 million parameter combinations tested overall.<ref name="researchgate-smaoui" />

=== Two-phase simulation strategy ===
The project ran in two broad phases. In the first phase, researchers modeled individual plant space colonization through clonal reproduction to generate initial hypotheses about competitive strategies between plant types; this phase alone produced more than 22 million simulation runs and found that prairie growth was best explained not by a single dominant strategy but by a small number of distinct viable strategies.<ref name="sicortex2009" /> The second, more ambitious phase aimed to run thousands of combinations of plant types together in a single master simulation across an entire growing season, in order to identify optimal species combinations for long-term prairie sustainability under varying conditions.<ref name="sicortex2009" />

To manage the scale of the second phase, the team developed a parallel multi-objective [[wikipedia:genetic algorithm|genetic algorithm]] (PGA) that could run on top of BOINC to fine-tune the optimization process, described in a 2009 conference paper by PhD student Malek Smaoui and Garbey.<ref name="parco2009">{{cite conference |authors=Malek Smaoui, Marc Garbey |title=Parallel Genetic Algorithm Implementation for BOINC |booktitle=Parallel Computing: From Multicores and GPU's to Petascale |volume=19 |pages=212–219 |publisher=IOS Press |date=2010 |conference=International Conference on Parallel Computing (ParCo), 1–4 September 2009, Lyon, France}}</ref>

=== Computing infrastructure ===
[[File:UH Science and Engineering Research and Classroom Complex.jpg|thumb|right|The University of Houston, whose Department of Computer Science and Research Computing Center hosted Virtual Prairie's local computing infrastructure.]]

Early, computationally intensive runs used local high-performance computing (HPC) hardware at the University of Houston. The department's third such system, provided by [[wikipedia:SiCortex|SiCortex]], was a single-cabinet 2.1 [[wikipedia:FLOPS|TFLOPS]] cluster built around 648 [[wikipedia:64-bit computing|64-bit]] processors, acquired as a joint venture between the university's Department of Computer Science and its Research Computing Center (RCC).<ref name="sicortex2009" /> SiCortex, which marketed itself on the energy efficiency of its systems, ceased operations in May 2009, a few months after this system was highlighted in connection with the project.<ref name="sicortex-shutdown">{{cite web |authors=HPCwire staff |title=SiCortex Meets an Untimely End |url=https://www.hpcwire.com/2009/05/28/sicortex_meets_an_untimely_end/ |website=HPCwire |date=28 May 2009 |access-date=26 July 2026}}</ref>

[[File:Beaulieu 1 Université de Rennes.JPG|thumb|left|The Beaulieu campus of the University of Rennes 1 in France, home to the UMR CNRS ECOBIO laboratory that led the project's ecological modelling work.]]

For the larger, second-phase master simulations, the project moved to BOINC-based volunteer computing, distributing work to home and lab computers around the world.<ref name="parco2009" /> By 2011, the university reported that more than 10,000 volunteers in 90 countries had contributed computing time to the project.<ref name="uh2011" /> The project's BOINC application was hosted at {{URL|http://vcsc.cs.uh.edu/virtual-prairie/}}, run as a Virtual Campus Supercomputing Center (VCSC) project of the University of Houston.<ref name="vcsc-wiki">{{cite web |authors=BOINC project |title=VirtualCampusSupercomputerCenter |url=https://github.com/BOINC/boinc/wiki/VirtualCampusSupercomputerCenter |website=BOINC wiki (GitHub) |access-date=26 July 2026}}</ref>

== Project team ==
Virtual Prairie was a joint effort between two university research groups:
* At the University of Houston, principal investigator Marc Garbey, chair of the Department of Computer Science, worked with PhD students Malek Smaoui, who focused on volunteer computing, evolutionary algorithms, and Monte Carlo methods, and Waree Rinsurongkawong, who worked on parallel data mining methods.<ref name="uh2009" /><ref name="sciencedirect-smaoui">{{cite web |authors=ScienceDirect |title=Improving volunteer computing scheduling for evolutionary algorithms (author biography excerpt) |url=https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0167739X12000921 |website=ScienceDirect |access-date=26 July 2026}}</ref> Multicore and software optimization researcher [[wikipedia:Barbara Chapman (computer scientist)|Barbara Chapman]] also contributed to the project's computing infrastructure work.<ref name="sicortex2009" />
* At the University of Rennes 1, Cendrine Mony led a team that included Professor Bernard Clement and PhD candidates Marie-Lise Benot and Anne-Kristel Bittebiere.<ref name="uh2011" /> Benot later became a post-doctoral researcher at the Laboratory of Alpine Ecology in Grenoble, France.<ref name="uh2011" />

== Funding ==
The project was funded by several French national research agencies, including the Agence Nationale de la Recherche (ANR, under grant ANR-08-SYSC-012), the Centre national de la recherche scientifique (CNRS), Cemagref (the Institute for Research in Science and Technology for the Environment, later merged into [[wikipedia:Irstea|Irstea]]), and INRIA (the National Institute for Research in Computer Science and Control).<ref name="uh2009" /><ref name="uh2011" /><ref name="anr-grant">{{cite web |authors=BOINC message boards |title=Virtual Prairie results published (forum thread quoting ANR-08-SYSC-012 grant acknowledgement) |url=https://boinc.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=6607 |website=BOINC |date=June 2011 |access-date=26 July 2026}}</ref>

== Results and publications impact ==
The project's central ecological finding, drawn from its large-scale parameter study, was that high plant performance in prairie conditions was reached through several distinct combinations of traits, such as high metabolic gain paired with low resource storage, or short branch spacing, rather than through a single optimal strategy.<ref name="researchgate-smaoui" /> Interactive effects between more than half of the tested input parameters were also demonstrated, providing a level of insight into clonal plant growth strategies that the researchers argued would not have been feasible without volunteer computing.<ref name="researchgate-smaoui" />

== Current status ==
Virtual Prairie's BOINC servers stopped issuing new work sometime around mid-2011, shortly after the project's main results were published in ''Ecological Modelling''; a project administrator confirmed on the BOINC message boards in June 2011 that the servers appeared to have gone silent.<ref name="anr-grant" /> The project's original website, vcsc.cs.uh.edu, no longer hosts Virtual Prairie content.<ref name="surly">{{cite web |title=vcsc.cs.uh.edu site scan |url=https://sur.ly/i/vcsc.cs.uh.edu/ |website=Sur.ly |access-date=26 July 2026}}</ref> The BOINC project maintains an entry for Virtual Prairie in its historical list of retired projects.<ref name="boinc-oldprojects">{{cite web |authors=BOINC |title=old_projects.inc |url=https://github.com/BOINC/boinc-site/blob/master/old_projects.inc |website=GitHub |access-date=26 July 2026}}</ref>

* At the University of Houston, principal investigator Marc Garbey, chair of the Department of Computer Science, worked with PhD students Malek Smaoui, who focused on volunteer computing, evolutionary algorithms, and Monte Carlo methods, and Waree Rinsurongkawong, who worked on parallel data mining methods.<ref name="uh2009" /><ref name="sciencedirect-smaoui">{{cite web |authors=ScienceDirect |title=Improving volunteer computing scheduling for evolutionary algorithms (author biography excerpt) |url=https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0167739X12000921 |website=ScienceDirect |access-date=26 July 2026}}</ref> Multicore and software optimization researcher [[wikipedia:Barbara Chapman (computer scientist)|Barbara Chapman]] also contributed to the project's computing infrastructure work.<ref name="sicortex2009" />
* At the University of Rennes 1, Cendrine Mony led a team that included Professor Bernard Clement and PhD candidates Marie-Lise Benot and Anne-Kristel Bittebiere.<ref name="uh2011" /> Benot later became a post-doctoral researcher at the Laboratory of Alpine Ecology in Grenoble, France.<ref name="uh2011" />

== Funding ==
The project was funded by several French national research agencies, including the Agence Nationale de la Recherche (ANR, under grant ANR-08-SYSC-012), the Centre national de la recherche scientifique (CNRS), Cemagref (the Institute for Research in Science and Technology for the Environment, later merged into [[wikipedia:Irstea|Irstea]]), and INRIA (the National Institute for Research in Computer Science and Control).<ref name="uh2009" /><ref name="uh2011" /><ref name="anr-grant">{{cite web |authors=BOINC message boards |title=Virtual Prairie results published (forum thread quoting ANR-08-SYSC-012 grant acknowledgement) |url=https://boinc.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=6607 |website=BOINC |date=June 2011 |access-date=26 July 2026}}</ref>

== Results and publications impact ==
The project's central ecological finding, drawn from its large-scale parameter study, was that high plant performance in prairie conditions was reached through several distinct combinations of traits, such as high metabolic gain paired with low resource storage, or short branch spacing, rather than through a single optimal strategy.<ref name="researchgate-smaoui" /> Interactive effects between more than half of the tested input parameters were also demonstrated, providing a level of insight into clonal plant growth strategies that the researchers argued would not have been feasible without volunteer computing.<ref name="researchgate-smaoui" />

== Current status ==
Virtual Prairie's BOINC servers stopped issuing new work sometime around mid-2011, shortly after the project's main results were published in ''Ecological Modelling''; a project administrator confirmed on the BOINC message boards in June 2011 that the servers appeared to have gone silent.<ref name="anr-grant" /> The project's original website, vcsc.cs.uh.edu, no longer hosts Virtual Prairie content.<ref name="surly">{{cite web |title=vcsc.cs.uh.edu site scan |url=https://sur.ly/i/vcsc.cs.uh.edu/ |website=Sur.ly |access-date=26 July 2026}}</ref> The BOINC project maintains an entry for Virtual Prairie in its historical list of retired projects.<ref name="boinc-oldprojects">{{cite web |authors=BOINC |title=old_projects.inc |url=https://github.com/BOINC/boinc-site/blob/master/old_projects.inc |website=GitHub |access-date=26 July 2026}}</ref>

The project never publicly credited a named individual as its developer; community discussion described it as a one-person effort, reportedly run by a university-affiliated volunteer.<ref name="boincstats-dead"/> Kryptos@Home is not to be confused with the unrelated K4 auction and archival discovery that ultimately disclosed the plaintext of the same cipher in 2025, several years after the project's own computations had ceased.<ref name="sciam2025"/>

== Background: the Kryptos sculpture ==
[[File:Kryptos sculptor.jpg|thumb|The S-shaped copper screen bearing the Kryptos ciphertexts, in the courtyard of the CIA's George Bush Center for Intelligence|326x326px]]
Kryptos is a sculpture by American artist [[wikipedia:Jim Sanborn|Jim Sanborn]], dedicated on November 3, 1990, on the grounds of CIA headquarters at the main entrance to the New Headquarters Building and in the courtyard between that building and the Original Headquarters Building cafeteria.<ref name="kryptos-home">{{Cite web |title=Kryptos@Home – Project Overview |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210125080541/https://www.kryptosathome.com/ |website=Kryptos@Home |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210125080541/https://www.kryptosathome.com/ |archive-date=January 25, 2021 |url-status=dead |access-date=July 26, 2026}}</ref> The centerpiece is a large, vertical S-shaped copper screen bearing four separate encrypted passages, referred to as K1, K2, K3, and K4.<ref name="kryptos-home"/> Sanborn worked for four months with Ed Scheidt, then the retired chairman of the CIA's Office of Communications, to devise the encryption schemes used in the piece.<ref name="kryptos-home"/> The sculpture's name derives from the ancient Greek word for "hidden," and its overall theme is intelligence gathering.<ref name="kryptos-home"/> The design and installation, commissioned through the GSA Art-in-Architecture program, cost $250,000 in 1988 dollars.<ref name="kryptos-home"/>

K1, K2, and K3 were solved by cryptanalysts within a few years of the sculpture's dedication, but K4, a 97-character passage beginning with the letters "OBKR," resisted every public cryptanalytic attempt for more than three decades and became one of the best-known unsolved ciphers in the world.<ref name="wp-kryptos">{{Cite web |title=Kryptos |url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kryptos |website=Wikipedia |access-date=July 26, 2026}}</ref> Sanborn has stated that solving K4 does not require physical access to the sculpture, which is located on CIA property that is off-limits to the public.<ref name="kryptos-home"/> In addition to the main screen, the installation includes a related Morse code message and a compass rose pointing to a lodestone, along with an adjacent reflecting pool; these elements have long been the subject of speculation about hidden clues, though no solution to K1 through K3 was found to depend on them.<ref name="kryptos-home"/>

== History ==
The projects first post announced the launch of Kryptos@Home on January 8, 2021.<ref name="kh-launch"/> At launch, the project was explicitly labeled as being in a beta-testing stage, and the announcement noted that upload errors were occurring during the initial rollout.<ref name="bs-launch">{{Cite web |title=Project launch |url=https://boincsynergy.ca/blog/kryptoshome/ |website=BOINC Synergy |date=January 12, 2021 |access-date=July 26, 2026}}</ref> For security reasons, new accounts could only be created through the project website rather than directly through the BOINC client.<ref name="bs-launch"/> The project maintained a Twitter account (@kryptosathome) and, shortly after launch, added a public Trello board so that participants could track reported issues, requested features, and ongoing development work.<ref name="tsbt-trello">{{Cite web |title=Kryptos@home Trello board added |url=https://tsbt.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=29343 |website=The Scottish Boinc Team Forum |access-date=July 26, 2026}}</ref>

The project attracted attention from volunteer computing communities within days of launch, including teams such as [[wikipedia:AMD|AMD]] Users and The Scottish Boinc Team, whose members reported early experiences running its work units.<ref name="amdusers">{{Cite web |title=New Project: Kryptos@Home |url=http://www.amdusers.com/forum/showthread.php/11910-New-Project-Kryptos-Home |website=AMDusers Forum |access-date=July 26, 2026}}</ref><ref name="tsbt-thread">{{Cite web |title=Kryptos@Home |url=https://tsbt.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=28643 |website=The Scottish Boinc Team Forum |access-date=July 26, 2026}}</ref> Multiple contemporaneous forum reports flagged frequent [[wikipedia:VirtualBox|VirtualBox]] hypervisor instability under the project's virtual-machine application, with some volunteers finding that rolling back to an older VirtualBox release (5.2.x) reduced work unit failure rates compared to the then-current 6.1.x branch.<ref name="tsbt-thread"/>

== Computational approach ==
Kryptos@Home's stated research goal was to use genetic algorithms to search for [[wikipedia:Hill cipher|Hill cipher]] keys capable of producing a meaningful decryption of K4.<ref name="tsbt-thread"/> The Hill cipher encrypts a block of plaintext letters, represented as a vector <math>P</math>, by multiplying it against a square key matrix <math>K</math> modulo 26:

<math>C \equiv K P \pmod{26}</math>

Decryption requires the modular inverse of the key matrix:

<math>P \equiv K^{-1} C \pmod{26}</math>

which exists only when <math>K</math> is invertible modulo 26, that is, when <math>\gcd(\det K,\ 26) = 1</math>. Kryptos@Home's applications searched the space of invertible candidate matrices for keys that, when applied to K4, matched a set of cryptographic cribs, fragments of suspected plaintext that Sanborn himself had released to the Kryptos-solving community, while also producing plausible decryptions across the rest of the passage.<ref name="tsbt-thread"/> This distinguished the project's approach from simple brute-force keyspace enumeration, since a genetic algorithm's fitness function could be tuned against partial crib matches to guide the search toward more promising candidate keys.<ref name="tsbt-thread"/>

== Software and applications ==
The project distributed its computational application, referred to in configuration files by the internal name <code>kryptos-plato</code>, as an [[wikipedia:VM (BOINC)|Oracle VM VirtualBox]]-based virtual machine application rather than a native executable, running under the BOINC Virtualbox wrapper.<ref name="tsbt-thread"/> Work was available for 64-bit Windows (AMD64/Intel EM64T), 64-bit Linux (AMD64/Intel EM64T), and 64-bit Intel-based macOS 10.5 or later; no GPU-accelerated application was offered.<ref name="amdusers"/> The project's own documentation indicated that a native (non-virtualized) application was planned for at least the Windows platform, though it is not confirmed whether such a native client was ever released before the project went offline.<ref name="tsbt-thread"/>

Volunteers could tune concurrency through a standard BOINC <code>app_config.xml</code> entry limiting the number of concurrent <code>kryptos-plato</code> tasks per host, a workaround commonly used to manage the resource demands of the VirtualBox-based application.<ref name="tsbt-thread"/>

== Decline and discontinuation ==
Kryptos@Home's public presence began to lapse in mid-2021. By early October 2021, participants on the BOINCstats/BAM! forums noted that the project's last confirmed server contact had been on July 1, 2021, and that its website had subsequently become unreachable, with its TLS certificate misconfigured to present a certificate for an unrelated domain.<ref name="boincstats-dead"/> Community speculation attributed the outage variously to the developer's academic obligations and to the project being a one-person operation without backup maintainers, though no official explanation was ever published.<ref name="boincstats-dead"/> Forum participants ultimately recommended that the project be treated as discontinued and removed from BOINC project-tracking tools after its website remained unreachable for an extended period with no further communication from its developer.<ref name="boincstats-dead"/>

No official statistics archive, final work unit counts, or closure announcement from the Kryptos@Home team is known to survive; the project's disappearance was documented primarily through third-party community forums rather than through any statement from BOINC Synergy or the project's developer.<ref name="boincstats-dead"/>

== K4's eventual disclosure ==
K4 remained unsolved by any public cryptanalytic method, including efforts such as Kryptos@Home's, for the following several years. In 2025, journalists Jarett Kobek and Richard Byrne reported that they had located the plaintext of K4 among archival material related to Sanborn held by the [[wikipedia:Smithsonian Institution|Smithsonian Institution]], rather than through cryptanalysis of the ciphertext itself.<ref name="sciam2025">{{Cite web |title=A Solution to the CIA's Kryptos Code Is Found after 35 Years |url=https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/a-solution-to-the-cias-kryptos-code-is-found-after-35-years/ |website=Scientific American |date=2025 |access-date=July 26, 2026}}</ref> Some members of the Kryptos-solving community disputed whether an archival discovery of this kind constituted a genuine "solution" in the cryptanalytic sense, since it did not involve deriving the plaintext from the ciphertext and key alone.<ref name="sciam2025"/> Later in 2025, Sanborn, citing health concerns, put the original K4 solution materials up for public auction through RR Auction, with the intent of naming a new designated keeper of the sculpture's secret.<ref name="aol-auction">{{Cite web |title=Solution goes on auction for CIA HQ's 'Kryptos' sculpture that has stumped code breakers for decades |url=https://www.aol.com/solution-goes-auction-cia-hqs-050030992.html |website=Associated Press via AOL |date=2025 |access-date=July 26, 2026}}</ref> These developments occurred well after Kryptos@Home's own computations had ceased, and there is no indication that the project's search results contributed to, or anticipated, the archival plaintext later reported.

The project distributed its computational application, referred to in configuration files by the internal name <code>kryptos-plato</code>, as an [[wikipedia:VM (BOINC)|Oracle VM VirtualBox]]-based virtual machine application rather than a native executable, running under the BOINC Virtualbox wrapper.<ref name="tsbt-thread"/> Work was available for 64-bit Windows (AMD64/Intel EM64T), 64-bit Linux (AMD64/Intel EM64T), and 64-bit Intel-based macOS 10.5 or later; no GPU-accelerated application was offered.<ref name="amdusers"/> The project's own documentation indicated that a native (non-virtualized) application was planned for at least the Windows platform, though it is not confirmed whether such a native client was ever released before the project went offline.<ref name="tsbt-thread"/>

Volunteers could tune concurrency through a standard BOINC <code>app_config.xml</code> entry limiting the number of concurrent <code>kryptos-plato</code> tasks per host, a workaround commonly used to manage the resource demands of the VirtualBox-based application.<ref name="tsbt-thread"/>

== Decline and discontinuation ==
Kryptos@Home's public presence began to lapse in mid-2021. By early October 2021, participants on the BOINCstats/BAM! forums noted that the project's last confirmed server contact had been on July 1, 2021, and that its website had subsequently become unreachable, with its TLS certificate misconfigured to present a certificate for an unrelated domain.<ref name="boincstats-dead"/> Community speculation attributed the outage variously to the developer's academic obligations and to the project being a one-person operation without backup maintainers, though no official explanation was ever published.<ref name="boincstats-dead"/> Forum participants ultimately recommended that the project be treated as discontinued and removed from BOINC project-tracking tools after its website remained unreachable for an extended period with no further communication from its developer.<ref name="boincstats-dead"/>

No official statistics archive, final work unit counts, or closure announcement from the Kryptos@Home team is known to survive; the project's disappearance was documented primarily through third-party community forums rather than through any statement from BOINC Synergy or the project's developer.<ref name="boincstats-dead"/>

== K4's eventual disclosure ==
K4 remained unsolved by any public cryptanalytic method, including efforts such as Kryptos@Home's, for the following several years. In 2025, journalists Jarett Kobek and Richard Byrne reported that they had located the plaintext of K4 among archival material related to Sanborn held by the [[wikipedia:Smithsonian Institution|Smithsonian Institution]], rather than through cryptanalysis of the ciphertext itself.<ref name="sciam2025">{{Cite web |title=A Solution to the CIA's Kryptos Code Is Found after 35 Years |url=https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/a-solution-to-the-cias-kryptos-code-is-found-after-35-years/ |website=Scientific American |date=2025 |access-date=July 26, 2026}}</ref> Some members of the Kryptos-solving community disputed whether an archival discovery of this kind constituted a genuine "solution" in the cryptanalytic sense, since it did not involve deriving the plaintext from the ciphertext and key alone.<ref name="sciam2025"/> Later in 2025, Sanborn, citing health concerns, put the original K4 solution materials up for public auction through RR Auction, with the intent of naming a new designated keeper of the sculpture's secret.<ref name="aol-auction">{{Cite web |title=Solution goes on auction for CIA HQ's 'Kryptos' sculpture that has stumped code breakers for decades |url=https://www.aol.com/solution-goes-auction-cia-hqs-050030992.html |website=Associated Press via AOL |date=2025 |access-date=July 26, 2026}}</ref> These developments occurred well after Kryptos@Home's own computations had ceased, and there is no indication that the project's search results contributed to, or anticipated, the archival plaintext later reported.

| The new versions allow for different motif types which are different models for how a binding site could look. One is palindromic, where the nucleotides in the beginning of the model have their complement at the end of the model. The other model type is reverse complement, which doesn't assume the model to be palindromic, but looks for either the forward or reverse version of the model.

'''A BOINC project''' is a website and associated server set up by an individual or group to distribute applications to [https://boinc.berkeley.edu/ BOINC] volunteer computing devices. Those devices deliberately attach to receive, process, and return results for further scientific research — at no cost to the researcher, and no cost to the volunteer beyond electricity.

''BOINC'' stands for '''Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing''', developed at the University of California, Berkeley. Any researcher can create a BOINC project; any person can donate their idle CPU or GPU time to one.

== History ==

=== Origins ===
The EON software grew out of long-running work in the Henkelman group (University of Texas at Austin) and the Jónsson group (then at the University of Iceland) on methods for simulating rare-event dynamics in solids, building on the [[wikipedia:dimer method|dimer method]] the two researchers had developed for locating [[wikipedia:saddle point|saddle points]] on potential energy surfaces without needing a known final state.<ref name="dimer1999">Henkelman, Graeme, Hannes Jónsson. [https://henkelmanlab.org/pubs/henkelman99_7010.pdf A dimer method for finding saddle points on high dimensional potential surfaces using only first derivatives]. ''The Journal of Chemical Physics'' 111(15), 7010 (1999). {{DOI|10.1063/1.480097}}.</ref> Before it was ported to BOINC, the group ran an earlier, home-built distributed computing system under the name eOn; forum members reported that the "old eOn client application" was subsequently rebuilt on BOINC's client/server architecture as eOn2, with the intention of later adding dynamics trajectories and ''[[wikipedia:ab initio quantum chemistry methods|ab initio]]'' ([[wikipedia:density functional theory|density functional theory]]) work units.<ref name="welcome-eon2">Welcome to the world, eOn2. UT theoretical chemistry code forum. Posted September 2010.</ref> For a time two separate project addresses existed, one on the group's older ''cm.utexas.edu'' domain and one on ''ices.utexas.edu''; volunteers were directed to the ICES address as the project's active server.<ref name="two-eon-sites">Two eon web sites. UT theoretical chemistry code forum. Posted 22 November 2011.</ref>

=== Launch on BOINC ===
eOn was announced as a new BOINC project on 7 September 2010 by [[wikipedia:David P. Anderson|David P. Anderson]], describing it as a study of "the dynamic simulation of physical and chemical processes over a time scale which is much longer than can be reached with traditional molecular dynamics."<ref name="boinc-launch">Anderson, David P. New project: eOn. BOINC News forum, message 34564. Posted 7 September 2010.</ref> Because the generation of new work units depended on the results already returned by earlier ones, eOn could typically only keep a handful of tasks in flight on any one host at a time, a workflow characteristic of its [[#Scientific method|adaptive kinetic Monte Carlo]] approach.<ref name="wiki-eon" />

Early participants reported a bumpy rollout, including client crashes on Mac OS X and complaints about long-running, unchecked work units, alongside genuine enthusiasm from teams that had followed the Henkelman group's earlier, non-BOINC eOn effort.<ref name="boinc-launch" /><ref name="eonclient400">eOn Client 4.00. UT theoretical chemistry code forum. Posted February 2012.</ref>

[[File:UT Tower, University of Texas in Austin.jpg|thumb|The University of Texas at Austin, home to the Institute for Computational Engineering and Sciences, where eOn was developed and hosted.|658x658px]]

== Scientific method ==
eOn's simulations targeted ''rare event'' systems, ones in which the interesting physics, such as [[wikipedia:diffusion|diffusion]] in solids or [[wikipedia:chemical reaction|chemical reactions]] at surfaces, consists of infrequent transitions between long-lived stable states, separated by fast atomic vibrations that are many orders of magnitude quicker than the transitions themselves. A direct [[wikipedia:molecular dynamics|molecular dynamics]] simulation tracking every vibration would need to run for a computationally unreasonable length of time before a single event of interest occurred.<ref name="ltd-docs">EON: Long Timescale Dynamics. Henkelman Research Group documentation. henkelmanlab.org/research/ltd/.</ref>

To get around this, EON combines transition state theory with kinetic Monte Carlo in an approach called adaptive kinetic Monte Carlo (aKMC). Rather than drawing transition rates from a predefined table of possible events, aKMC discovers the available transitions on the fly by searching for first-order saddle points around the current state.<ref name="akmc-docs">Adaptive kinetic Monte Carlo. EON documentation. henkelmanlab.org/eon/akmc.html.</ref> Under the harmonic approximation to transition state theory, the rate of an individual transition takes the Arrhenius-like form

<math>k = \nu \, e^{-\Delta E_a / k_B T}</math>

where <math>\Delta E_a</math> is the energy barrier between the initial minimum and the saddle point, <math>T</math> is the temperature, <math>k_B</math> is the [[wikipedia:Boltzmann constant|Boltzmann constant]], and the prefactor <math>\nu</math> is calculated from the [[wikipedia:normal mode|vibrational modes]] at the minimum and the saddle point.<ref name="akmc-docs" />

Saddle points themselves were located with the dimer method, in which two closely spaced replicas of the system ("the dimer") are used to estimate the direction of lowest curvature on the potential energy surface using only first derivatives of the energy, avoiding the cost of computing a full [[wikipedia:Hessian matrix|Hessian]]:

<math>\mathbf{R}_{1,2} = \mathbf{R}_0 \pm \Delta R\,\hat{N}</math>

The dimer is rotated to align with this minimum mode and then walked uphill along it until it converges on a saddle point.<ref name="dimer1999" /> Besides aKMC, the EON software also implemented [[wikipedia:parallel replica dynamics|parallel replica dynamics]], [[wikipedia:hyperdynamics|hyperdynamics]], and global optimization methods including [[wikipedia:simulated annealing|simulated annealing]], [[wikipedia:basin hopping|basin hopping]], and minima hopping.<ref name="wiki-eon" />

== Software architecture ==
[[File:Potential Energy Surface and Corresponding Reaction Coordinate Diagram.png|thumb|A potential energy surface with a saddle point separating two minima, the kind of feature EON's dimer method searches for.|left|344x344px]]EON used a client/server design: computationally intensive force and energy evaluations ran on volunteer client machines, while a central server managed the overall state-to-state evolution of the simulation, for example driving the kinetic Monte Carlo bookkeeping in aKMC runs. The server was written in [[wikipedia:Python (programming language)|Python]] and the client in [[wikipedia:C++|C++]], the latter chosen so that a self-contained compiled executable could be distributed easily to volunteers.<ref name="wiki-eon" /> Beyond BOINC, the same codebase could also run on a single workstation, on cluster queuing systems, and on large parallel machines via [[wikipedia:Message Passing Interface|MPI]].<ref name="ltd-docs" /> The code was released under version 3 of the [[wikipedia:GNU General Public License|GNU General Public License]].<ref name="wiki-eon" />

== Discontinuation ==
On 26 May 2014, the eOn team posted to the BOINC forums that the project was being retired from the BOINC network.<ref name="discontinuation">Announcement that the eOn project has been discontinued. BOINC Forums, thread 9281. {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140714231802/http://boinc.berkeley.edu/dev/forum_thread.php?id=9281|date=14 July 2014}}.</ref> Volunteer forums reported that the eOn server was taken offline shortly afterward, with one community post noting that it had been "retired" with little fanfare and that "the server has been switched off already."<ref name="tsbt-retired">eOn retired. The Scottish BOINC Team forum. May 2014.</ref> A follow-up post from the project team described the decision as a practical one: the project had been useful but had become increasingly cumbersome to maintain relative to the group's other computational resources.<ref name="tsbt-retired" />

== Legacy ==
The retirement of the BOINC-facing eOn2 project did not end development of the underlying EON software. Around 2018, the codebase was relicensed from GPL-3.0 to the [[wikipedia:BSD licenses|BSD 3-Clause license]] so that it could be incorporated into the Amsterdam Modeling Suite, a commercial computational chemistry platform.<ref name="goswami-blog">Goswami, Rohit. [https://rgoswami.me/posts/eon-acad-foss/ Reconciling eOn for Academia and Open Source]. Personal blog. Retrieved 2026.</ref> From 2019 onward, the code was migrated from its original Subversion repository to GitHub, and it continues to be maintained as an open-source research code, including a Gaussian process-accelerated dimer method contributed as part of doctoral work associated with the University of Iceland.<ref name="goswami-blog" /> This ongoing development is separate from the discontinued volunteer computing project and does not distribute work to BOINC volunteers.

The server was written in [[wikipedia:Python (programming language)|Python]] and the client in [[wikipedia:C++|C++]], the latter chosen so that a self-contained compiled executable could be distributed easily to volunteers.<ref name="wiki-eon" /> Beyond BOINC, the same codebase could also run on a single workstation, on cluster queuing systems, and on large parallel machines via [[wikipedia:Message Passing Interface|MPI]].<ref name="ltd-docs" /> The code was released under version 3 of the [[wikipedia:GNU General Public License|GNU General Public License]].<ref name="wiki-eon" />

== Discontinuation ==
On 26 May 2014, the eOn team posted to the BOINC forums that the project was being retired from the BOINC network.<ref name="discontinuation">Announcement that the eOn project has been discontinued. BOINC Forums, thread 9281. {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140714231802/http://boinc.berkeley.edu/dev/forum_thread.php?id=9281|date=14 July 2014}}.</ref> Volunteer forums reported that the eOn server was taken offline shortly afterward, with one community post noting that it had been "retired" with little fanfare and that "the server has been switched off already."<ref name="tsbt-retired">eOn retired. The Scottish BOINC Team forum. May 2014.</ref> A follow-up post from the project team described the decision as a practical one: the project had been useful but had become increasingly cumbersome to maintain relative to the group's other computational resources.<ref name="tsbt-retired" />

== Legacy ==
The retirement of the BOINC-facing eOn2 project did not end development of the underlying EON software. Around 2018, the codebase was relicensed from GPL-3.0 to the [[wikipedia:BSD licenses|BSD 3-Clause license]] so that it could be incorporated into the Amsterdam Modeling Suite, a commercial computational chemistry platform.<ref name="goswami-blog">Goswami, Rohit. [https://rgoswami.me/posts/eon-acad-foss/ Reconciling eOn for Academia and Open Source]. Personal blog. Retrieved 2026.</ref> From 2019 onward, the code was migrated from its original Subversion repository to GitHub, and it continues to be maintained as an open-source research code, including a Gaussian process-accelerated dimer method contributed as part of doctoral work associated with the University of Iceland.<ref name="goswami-blog" /> This ongoing development is separate from the discontinued volunteer computing project and does not distribute work to BOINC volunteers.

== Publications ==
The Berkeley BOINC project maintains a list of [https://boinc.berkeley.edu/pubs.php#EOn publications with results arising from BOINC-based computing], including work that made use of the eOn volunteer computing project:<ref name="pubs-boinc">Publications by BOINC Projects. boinc.berkeley.edu/pubs.php.

'''[https://web.archive.org/web/20120825055512/http://vbridge.twgrid.org/asgcdg/ Taiwan Desktop Grid]''' was a [[wikipedia:BOINC|BOINC]]-based [[wikipedia:desktop grid computing|desktop grid]] and volunteer computing project operated by the Academia Sinica Grid Computing Centre (ASGC) in [[wikipedia:Taipei|Taipei]], Taiwan. Rather than developing a single dedicated scientific application of its own, the project functioned as a Taiwanese bridging node in a wider international infrastructure, connecting volunteered Asian and European desktop computers to applications supporting drug discovery, earthquake simulation and climate change research, among others, that had been ported to run across linked desktop and service grids.<ref name="asgcdg-about">{{Cite web |url=http://vbridge.twgrid.org/asgcdg/ |title=Taiwan Desktop Grid |publisher=Academia Sinica Grid Computing Centre |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120825055512/http://vbridge.twgrid.org/asgcdg/ |archive-date=25 August 2012 |url-status=dead |access-date=25 July 2026}}</ref> Volunteers attached to the project by pointing the BOINC client at the address <code>http://vbridge.twgrid.org/asgcdg/</code>.<ref name="asgcdg-about" /> The project appears to have gone offline sometime between April 2014 and February 2015 and has not since been restored.<ref name="shutdown-note" />

== History ==

=== Background: the Academia Sinica Grid Computing Centre ===
[[File:Academia Sinica.JPG|thumb|The main gate of [[wikipedia:Academia Sinica|Academia Sinica]] in Taipei. Its Grid Computing Centre (ASGC) operated Taiwan Desktop Grid.]]
[[wikipedia:Academia Sinica|Academia Sinica]], Taiwan's national academy, joined the [[wikipedia:Worldwide LHC Computing Grid|Worldwide LHC Computing Grid]] (WLCG) project in 2002. The Academia Sinica Grid Computing Centre (ASGC) was subsequently established to provide grid computing services to scientists from various domains across Asia-Pacific countries.<ref name="asgcdg-about" /> Since 2005, ASGC has operated the only WLCG Tier-1 centre in Asia and has served as the [[wikipedia:Enabling Grids for E-sciencE|Enabling Grids for E-sciencE]] (EGEE) Federation Coordinator, providing service, coordination and support to e-Science applications worldwide.<ref name="asgcdg-about" />

=== Founding and DEGISCO ===
ASGC became a member of the International Desktop Grid Federation (IDGF), an organisation bringing together companies, universities and institutes involved in desktop grid computing, and represented Taiwan in the [[wikipedia:European Union|European Union]]-funded Desktop Grids for International Scientific Collaboration (DEGISCO) project.<ref name="asgcdg-about" /><ref name="idgf-members">{{Cite web |url=http://desktopgridfederation.org/members |title=Members |publisher=International Desktop Grid Federation |access-date=25 July 2026}}</ref> DEGISCO, funded under the EU's Seventh Framework Programme (grant agreement 261561) and coordinated by the Hungarian research institute MTA SZTAKI, ran from 1 June 2010 to 31 May 2012.<ref name="degisco-cordis">{{Cite web |url=https://cordis.europa.eu/project/id/261561/results |title=Desktop Grids for International Scientific Collaboration (DEGISCO) |publisher=European Commission, CORDIS |access-date=25 July 2026}}</ref> Building on the earlier EDGeS project, DEGISCO used what was known as 3G Bridge technology to extend the existing European desktop-grid-to-service-grid infrastructure to International Cooperation Partner Countries, of which Taiwan was one, connecting local desktop grids to European service grids such as EGEE.<ref name="degisco-cordis" /> Taiwan Desktop Grid, run on BOINC server software from the address <code>http://vbridge.twgrid.org/asgcdg/</code>, was ASGC's contribution to this effort.<ref name="asgcdg-about" />

The earliest applications recorded on the project's archived application list, a 3D rendering application and a laser simulation application, were installed on the server on 28 and 29 October 2010 respectively, marking the earliest confirmed activity on the project.<ref name="asgcdg-apps">{{Cite web |url=http://vbridge.twgrid.org/asgcdg/apps.php |title=Applications | Taiwan Desktop Grid |publisher=Academia Sinica Grid Computing Centre |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120730171203/http://vbridge.twgrid.org/asgcdg/apps.php |archive-date=30 July 2012 |url-status=dead |access-date=25 July 2026}}</ref> Over the following two years, the project accumulated more than a dozen further applications bridged in from the shared EDGeS/DEGISCO application repository, spanning fields including molecular docking, particle physics simulation, materials science and cosmic ray simulation.<ref name="asgcdg-apps" /> The project's own homepage carried news items relating to DEGISCO project meetings, including the ISGC 2012 DEGISCO Workshop, held 27 February to 2 March 2012, and the DEGISCO project's fifth consortium meeting, held 28 to 30 May 2012 in Zaragoza, Spain.<ref name="asgcdg-about" />

=== Discontinuation ===
The project's homepage was still functioning normally in an archived snapshot dated 23 April 2014, the last confirmed working capture of the site. A later snapshot from around 23 February 2015 instead returns only a database connection error, indicating the underlying BOINC server had gone offline sometime in the intervening months.<ref name="shutdown-note" /> No working snapshot of the project has been found after this point, and Taiwan Desktop Grid is treated here as a completed, discontinued BOINC project.

== Purpose ==
Because Taiwan Desktop Grid functioned primarily as a bridging node rather than hosting a single dedicated in-house research application, its research focus was largely defined by whichever applications were routed to it through the shared EDGeS, DEGISCO and IDGF infrastructure. According to the project's own description, this included applications supporting drug discovery, earthquake simulation and climate change research developed in Asia, as well as applications developed more broadly by IDGF members.<ref name="asgcdg-about" />

== Applications ==
The following applications were recorded on Taiwan Desktop Grid's application list as of an archived snapshot dated 25 August 2012. Installation dates refer to when each application version was first made available on the server, not necessarily when it remained actively assigning work; by the project's own account, many of these applications may not have stayed active for long.<ref name="asgcdg-apps" />

Several of these, including the CORSIKA cosmic ray shower simulator, the AutoDock molecular docking tools and Fusion ITER, correspond to standard applications distributed through the EDGeS/DEGISCO shared application repository, and were also bridged to other desktop grids connected to the same European service grid infrastructure rather than being developed specifically for Taiwan Desktop Grid.<ref name="degisco-cordis" />

'''A BOINC project''' is a website and associated server set up by an individual or group to distribute applications to [https://boinc.berkeley.edu/ BOINC] volunteer computing devices. Those devices deliberately attach to receive, process, and return results for further scientific research — at no cost to the researcher, and no cost to the volunteer beyond electricity.

''BOINC'' stands for '''Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing''', developed at the University of California, Berkeley. Any researcher can create a BOINC project; any person can donate their idle CPU or GPU time to one.

| The new versions allow for different motif types which are different models for how a binding site could look. One is palindromic, where the nucleotides in the beginning of the model have their complement at the end of the model. The other model type is reverse complement, which doesn't assume the model to be palindromic, but looks for either the forward or reverse version of the model.

<span class="bs-definition-label">What is a BOINC project?</span>
'''A BOINC project''' is a website and associated server set up by an individual or group to distribute applications to [https://boinc.berkeley.edu/ BOINC] volunteer computing devices. Those devices deliberately attach to receive, process, and return results for further scientific research — at no cost to the researcher, and no cost to the volunteer beyond electricity.

''BOINC'' stands for '''Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing''', developed at the University of California, Berkeley. Any researcher can create a BOINC project; any person can donate their idle CPU or GPU time to one.

<div class="bs-cta">
<div class="bs-cta-title">📋 The BOINC Projects Master Table</div>
<div class="bs-cta-body">The [[BOINC projects|List of all BOINC projects]] table is the heart of this wiki — a structured, sortable reference covering project name, research field, institution, supported platforms, active status, GPU support, and more. It is the primary reason this resource exists and the most complete registry of BOINC projects available anywhere.</div>
<big>'''[[BOINC projects|View the complete list of BOINC projects →]]'''</big>

<div class="bs-cta">
<div class="bs-cta-title">📺 BOINC Project Screensaver Archive</div>
<div class="bs-cta-body">Before modern power management made them obsolete, every BOINC project shipped a real-time animated screensaver showing the computation in progress, including protein chains folding, star fields sweeping and climate models spinning. All 71 known screensaver recordings, spanning projects from SETI@home to Pirates@Home, are now preserved in one place.</div>

'''[https://web.archive.org/web/20220711171713/https://boinc.tacc.utexas.edu/ BOINC@TACC]''' is a [[volunteer computing]] project operated by the [[Texas Advanced Computing Center]] (TACC) at the [[University of Texas at Austin]] that integrates [[BOINC]]-based volunteer computing with supercomputing and cloud computing.<ref>{{Cite web |authors=Texas Advanced Computing Center |title=About BOINC@TACC |url=https://boinc.tacc.utexas.edu/about.php |work=boinc.tacc.utexas.edu |access-date=2026-07-22}}</ref> Rather than running scientific applications directly on TACC's supercomputers, the project routes qualified High-Throughput Computing (HTC) jobs from TACC systems such as [[Stampede2]] to computing resources donated by volunteers, including desktops, laptops, tablets, and cloud-based virtual machines.<ref>{{Cite web |authors=Texas Advanced Computing Center |title=BOINC@TACC |url=https://boinc.tacc.utexas.edu/ |work=boinc.tacc.utexas.edu |access-date=2026-07-22}}</ref> Launched in 2017, BOINC@TACC was the first use of volunteer computing by a major high-performance computing center.<ref name="hpcwire">{{Cite web |authors=Iriarte, Mariana |title=Science Enthusiasts, Researchers, Students Benefit from Volunteer Computing Using BOINC@TACC |url=https://www.hpcwire.com/off-the-wire/science-enthusiasts-researchers-students-benefit-from-wolunteer-computing-using-boinctacc/ |work=HPCwire |date=2019-06-25 |access-date=2026-07-22}}</ref>

== Overview ==
BOINC@TACC allows researchers with TACC or [[XSEDE]] allocations to run small, loosely coupled high-throughput jobs on volunteered hardware instead of spending their supercomputer allocation time on them.<ref>{{Cite web |authors=XSEDE |title=User News: BOINC@TACC |url=https://www.xsede.org/news/user-news/-/news/item/11493 |work=xsede.org |access-date=2026-07-22}}</ref> The project's stated goal is to free up TACC's supercomputers for tightly coupled, compute- and memory-intensive parallel jobs by offloading independent, "embarrassingly parallel" work to a [[BOINC]] server that, in turn, distributes it to volunteer clients.<ref name="hpcwire" /> The project's lead is Ritu Arora, a research scientist at TACC.<ref name="hpcwire" /> BOINC@TACC has supported research spanning aerospace engineering, computational biology, and earthquake engineering, among other domains.<ref>{{Cite web |authors=Texas Advanced Computing Center |title=About BOINC@TACC |url=https://boinc.tacc.utexas.edu/about.php |work=boinc.tacc.utexas.edu |access-date=2026-07-22}}</ref>

Volunteers can contribute either by running the standard [[BOINC]] client (which requires VirtualBox for the project's virtual-machine-based jobs) or, for institutional donors with cloud virtual machines, an alternative Docker-based mechanism developed specifically for the project.<ref>{{Cite web |authors=Arora, Ritu |title=ritua2/BOINCatTACC |url=https://github.com/ritua2/BOINCatTACC |work=GitHub |access-date=2026-07-22}}</ref> Task availability on BOINC@TACC has historically been intermittent, since work is generated only as TACC researchers submit qualifying jobs rather than on a continuous schedule; during the COVID-19 pandemic, for example, volunteers reported a batch of virtual-machine-based tasks related to COVID-19 research becoming briefly available.<ref>{{Cite web |authors=AnandTech Forums |title=BOINC@TACC has work |url=https://forums.anandtech.com/threads/boinc-tacc-has-work.2579094/ |work=AnandTech Forums |date=2020-04-06 |access-date=2026-07-22}}</ref>

== History ==
After several live iterations, the project began operating in 2017 under the name '''TACC-2-BOINC'''.<ref name="github">{{Cite web |authors=Arora, Ritu |title=ritua2/BOINCatTACC |url=https://github.com/ritua2/BOINCatTACC |work=GitHub |access-date=2026-07-22}}</ref> To get started, the TACC team deployed an instance of a BOINC server on a cloud computing platform and then developed the software needed to integrate BOINC with TACC's supercomputing and cloud computing platforms.<ref name="hpcwire" /> On Jan 1, 2019, the project was renamed BOINC@TACC and moved to its current project URL.<ref name="github" /> The project is funded primarily through [[National Science Foundation|NSF]] award #1664022, with additional support from [[XSEDE]], TACC, and the Science Gateway Community Institute.<ref>{{Cite web |authors=Arora, Ritu, Carlos Redondo and Gerald Joshua |title=Scalable Software Infrastructure for Integrating Supercomputing with Volunteer Computing and Cloud Computing |url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-981-13-7729-7_8 |work=Software Challenges to Exascale Computing |date=2019 |access-date=2026-07-22}}</ref> Contributors to the BOINC@TACC codebase have included Carlos Redondo, an aerospace engineering student and developer on the project, along with Thomas Johnson and Anubhaw Nand, with additional input from [[BOINC]] founder [[David P. Anderson|David Anderson]].<ref>{{Cite web |authors=Arora, Ritu, Carlos Redondo and Gerald Joshua |title=Scalable Software Infrastructure for Integrating Supercomputing with Volunteer Computing and Cloud Computing |url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-981-13-7729-7_8 |work=Software Challenges to Exascale Computing |date=2019 |access-date=2026-07-22}}</ref>

== Software infrastructure ==
The BOINC@TACC codebase, hosted on [[GitHub]] under the LGPL-3.0 license, builds on the ''boinc-server-docker'' software originally developed by Marius Millea and extends it with several project-specific components.<ref name="github" />

=== Job routing and application deployment ===
A command-line back-end, ''stampede2-backend'', runs on Stampede2 and other TACC [[SLURM]]-scheduled Linux systems to determine whether a submitted job is eligible to run on volunteered BOINC clients rather than on TACC resources.<ref name="github" /> Researchers can also submit and track jobs through a web-based user interface built for the project.<ref name="github" /> Applications are packaged as Docker images through a component called MIDAS, which automatically generates Docker containers from source code so they can run either inside [[VirtualBox]] on traditional BOINC clients or directly inside Docker on volunteered cloud virtual machines through a mechanism called VolCon.<ref name="github" /> Pre-built Docker images maintained by the project team have included [[AutoDock]] Vina, [[BEDTools]], [[BLAST (biotechnology)|BLAST]], [[Bowtie (sequence analysis)|Bowtie]], [[GROMACS]], HTSeq, [[LAMMPS]], [[NAMD]], and [[OpenSees]].<ref>{{Cite web |authors=Texas Advanced Computing Center |title=About BOINC@TACC |url=https://boinc.tacc.utexas.edu/about.php |work=boinc.tacc.utexas.edu |access-date=2026-07-22}}</ref>

=== Reef cloud storage ===
Result files produced by BOINC@TACC jobs are stored using ''Reef'', a lightweight, reusable cloud storage component built for the project (also described in the literature under the name ''Greyfish''). Reef can be deployed either as a single storage node ("pocket Reef") or, for larger workloads, as a distributed system with a manager node and one or more remote storage nodes.<ref name="github" />

=== Credit system ===
Like other BOINC projects, BOINC@TACC computes each volunteer's Recent Average Credit (RAC) as an exponentially weighted moving average that gives more weight to recently granted credit and decays older contributions with a half-life of one week.

'''[https://web.archive.org/web/20220711171713/https://boinc.tacc.utexas.edu/ BOINC@TACC]''' is a [[volunteer computing]] project operated by the [[Texas Advanced Computing Center]] (TACC) at the [[University of Texas at Austin]] that integrates [[BOINC]]-based volunteer computing with supercomputing and cloud computing.<ref>{{Cite web |authors=Texas Advanced Computing Center |title=About BOINC@TACC |url=https://boinc.tacc.utexas.edu/about.php |work=boinc.tacc.utexas.edu |access-date=2026-07-22}}</ref> Rather than running scientific applications directly on TACC's supercomputers, the project routes qualified High-Throughput Computing (HTC) jobs from TACC systems such as [[Stampede2]] to computing resources donated by volunteers, including desktops, laptops, tablets, and cloud-based virtual machines.<ref>{{Cite web |authors=Texas Advanced Computing Center |title=BOINC@TACC |url=https://boinc.tacc.utexas.edu/ |work=boinc.tacc.utexas.edu |access-date=2026-07-22}}</ref> Launched in 2017, BOINC@TACC was the first use of volunteer computing by a major high-performance computing center.<ref name="hpcwire">{{Cite web |authors=Iriarte, Mariana |title=Science Enthusiasts, Researchers, Students Benefit from Volunteer Computing Using BOINC@TACC |url=https://www.hpcwire.com/off-the-wire/science-enthusiasts-researchers-students-benefit-from-wolunteer-computing-using-boinctacc/ |work=HPCwire |date=2019-06-25 |access-date=2026-07-22}}</ref>

== Overview ==
BOINC@TACC allows researchers with TACC or [[XSEDE]] allocations to run small, loosely coupled high-throughput jobs on volunteered hardware instead of spending their supercomputer allocation time on them.<ref>{{Cite web |authors=XSEDE |title=User News: BOINC@TACC |url=https://www.xsede.org/news/user-news/-/news/item/11493 |work=xsede.org |access-date=2026-07-22}}</ref> The project's stated goal is to free up TACC's supercomputers for tightly coupled, compute- and memory-intensive parallel jobs by offloading independent, "embarrassingly parallel" work to a [[BOINC]] server that, in turn, distributes it to volunteer clients.<ref name="hpcwire" /> The project's lead is Ritu Arora, a research scientist at TACC.<ref name="hpcwire" /> BOINC@TACC has supported research spanning aerospace engineering, computational biology, and earthquake engineering, among other domains.<ref>{{Cite web |authors=Texas Advanced Computing Center |title=About BOINC@TACC |url=https://boinc.tacc.utexas.edu/about.php |work=boinc.tacc.utexas.edu |access-date=2026-07-22}}</ref>

Volunteers can contribute either by running the standard [[BOINC]] client (which requires VirtualBox for the project's virtual-machine-based jobs) or, for institutional donors with cloud virtual machines, an alternative Docker-based mechanism developed specifically for the project.<ref>{{Cite web |authors=Arora, Ritu |title=ritua2/BOINCatTACC |url=https://github.com/ritua2/BOINCatTACC |work=GitHub |access-date=2026-07-22}}</ref> Task availability on BOINC@TACC has historically been intermittent, since work is generated only as TACC researchers submit qualifying jobs rather than on a continuous schedule; during the COVID-19 pandemic, for example, volunteers reported a batch of virtual-machine-based tasks related to COVID-19 research becoming briefly available.<ref>{{Cite web |authors=AnandTech Forums |title=BOINC@TACC has work |url=https://forums.anandtech.com/threads/boinc-tacc-has-work.2579094/ |work=AnandTech Forums |date=2020-04-06 |access-date=2026-07-22}}</ref>

== History ==
After several live iterations, the project began operating in 2017 under the name '''TACC-2-BOINC'''.<ref name="github">{{Cite web |authors=Arora, Ritu |title=ritua2/BOINCatTACC |url=https://github.com/ritua2/BOINCatTACC |work=GitHub |access-date=2026-07-22}}</ref> To get started, the TACC team deployed an instance of a BOINC server on a cloud computing platform and then developed the software needed to integrate BOINC with TACC's supercomputing and cloud computing platforms.<ref name="hpcwire" /> On Jan 1, 2019, the project was renamed BOINC@TACC and moved to its current project URL.<ref name="github" /> The project is funded primarily through [[National Science Foundation|NSF]] award #1664022, with additional support from [[XSEDE]], TACC, and the Science Gateway Community Institute.<ref>{{Cite web |authors=Arora, Ritu, Carlos Redondo and Gerald Joshua |title=Scalable Software Infrastructure for Integrating Supercomputing with Volunteer Computing and Cloud Computing |url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-981-13-7729-7_8 |work=Software Challenges to Exascale Computing |date=2019 |access-date=2026-07-22}}</ref> Contributors to the BOINC@TACC codebase have included Carlos Redondo, an aerospace engineering student and developer on the project, along with Thomas Johnson and Anubhaw Nand, with additional input from [[BOINC]] founder [[David P. Anderson|David Anderson]].<ref>{{Cite web |authors=Arora, Ritu, Carlos Redondo and Gerald Joshua |title=Scalable Software Infrastructure for Integrating Supercomputing with Volunteer Computing and Cloud Computing |url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-981-13-7729-7_8 |work=Software Challenges to Exascale Computing |date=2019 |access-date=2026-07-22}}</ref>

== Software infrastructure ==
The BOINC@TACC codebase, hosted on [[GitHub]] under the LGPL-3.0 license, builds on the ''boinc-server-docker'' software originally developed by Marius Millea and extends it with several project-specific components.<ref name="github" />

=== Job routing and application deployment ===
A command-line back-end, ''stampede2-backend'', runs on Stampede2 and other TACC [[SLURM]]-scheduled Linux systems to determine whether a submitted job is eligible to run on volunteered BOINC clients rather than on TACC resources.<ref name="github" /> Researchers can also submit and track jobs through a web-based user interface built for the project.<ref name="github" /> Applications are packaged as Docker images through a component called MIDAS, which automatically generates Docker containers from source code so they can run either inside [[VirtualBox]] on traditional BOINC clients or directly inside Docker on volunteered cloud virtual machines through a mechanism called VolCon.<ref name="github" /> Pre-built Docker images maintained by the project team have included [[AutoDock]] Vina, [[BEDTools]], [[BLAST (biotechnology)|BLAST]], [[Bowtie (sequence analysis)|Bowtie]], [[GROMACS]], HTSeq, [[LAMMPS]], [[NAMD]], and [[OpenSees]].<ref>{{Cite web |authors=Texas Advanced Computing Center |title=About BOINC@TACC |url=https://boinc.tacc.utexas.edu/about.php |work=boinc.tacc.utexas.edu |access-date=2026-07-22}}</ref>

=== Reef cloud storage ===
Result files produced by BOINC@TACC jobs are stored using ''Reef'', a lightweight, reusable cloud storage component built for the project (also described in the literature under the name ''Greyfish''). Reef can be deployed either as a single storage node ("pocket Reef") or, for larger workloads, as a distributed system with a manager node and one or more remote storage nodes.<ref name="github" />

=== Credit system ===
Like other BOINC projects, BOINC@TACC computes each volunteer's Recent Average Credit (RAC) as an exponentially weighted moving average that gives more weight to recently granted credit and decays older contributions with a half-life of one week. Following BOINC's general credit-accounting scheme, whenever new credit <math>c</math> is granted at a time interval <math>\Delta t</math> after the previous update, the RAC is recalculated as

<math>\text{RAC}_{\text{new}} = \text{RAC}_{\text{old}} \cdot e^{-\Delta t \ln 2 / T} + \frac{c}{T}\left(1 - e^{-\Delta t \ln 2 / T}\right)</math>

where <math>T</math> is the credit half-life (seven days).<ref>{{Cite web |authors=Anderson, David P. |title=BOINC: A Platform for Volunteer Computing |url=https://arxiv.org/abs/1903.01699 |work=arXiv |date=2019 |access-date=2026-07-22}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |authors=BOINC |title=CreditStats |url=https://github.com/BOINC/boinc/wiki/CreditStats |work=GitHub |access-date=2026-07-22}}</ref> As with several smaller BOINC projects, BOINC@TACC has not published its statistics through third-party aggregators such as [[BOINCstats]] or Free-DC, so detailed current figures for active users, hosts, and average performance are not publicly available.<ref>{{Cite web |authors=AnandTech Forums |title=BOINC@TACC has work |url=https://forums.anandtech.com/threads/boinc-tacc-has-work.2579094/ |work=AnandTech Forums |date=2020-04-06 |access-date=2026-07-22}}</ref>

'''BOINC@TACC''' is a [[volunteer computing]] project operated by the [[Texas Advanced Computing Center]] (TACC) at the [[University of Texas at Austin]] that integrates [[BOINC]]-based volunteer computing with supercomputing and cloud computing.<ref>{{Cite web |authors=Texas Advanced Computing Center |title=About BOINC@TACC |url=https://boinc.tacc.utexas.edu/about.php |work=boinc.tacc.utexas.edu |access-date=2026-07-22}}</ref> Rather than running scientific applications directly on TACC's supercomputers, the project routes qualified High-Throughput Computing (HTC) jobs from TACC systems such as [[Stampede2]] to computing resources donated by volunteers, including desktops, laptops, tablets, and cloud-based virtual machines.<ref>{{Cite web |authors=Texas Advanced Computing Center |title=BOINC@TACC |url=https://boinc.tacc.utexas.edu/ |work=boinc.tacc.utexas.edu |access-date=2026-07-22}}</ref> Launched in 2017, BOINC@TACC was the first use of volunteer computing by a major high-performance computing center.<ref name="hpcwire">{{Cite web |authors=Iriarte, Mariana |title=Science Enthusiasts, Researchers, Students Benefit from Volunteer Computing Using BOINC@TACC |url=https://www.hpcwire.com/off-the-wire/science-enthusiasts-researchers-students-benefit-from-wolunteer-computing-using-boinctacc/ |work=HPCwire |date=2019-06-25 |access-date=2026-07-22}}</ref>

== Overview ==
BOINC@TACC allows researchers with TACC or [[XSEDE]] allocations to run small, loosely coupled high-throughput jobs on volunteered hardware instead of spending their supercomputer allocation time on them.<ref>{{Cite web |authors=XSEDE |title=User News: BOINC@TACC |url=https://www.xsede.org/news/user-news/-/news/item/11493 |work=xsede.org |access-date=2026-07-22}}</ref> The project's stated goal is to free up TACC's supercomputers for tightly coupled, compute- and memory-intensive parallel jobs by offloading independent, "embarrassingly parallel" work to a [[BOINC]] server that, in turn, distributes it to volunteer clients.<ref name="hpcwire" /> The project's lead is Ritu Arora, a research scientist at TACC.<ref name="hpcwire" /> BOINC@TACC has supported research spanning aerospace engineering, computational biology, and earthquake engineering, among other domains.<ref>{{Cite web |authors=Texas Advanced Computing Center |title=About BOINC@TACC |url=https://boinc.tacc.utexas.edu/about.php |work=boinc.tacc.utexas.edu |access-date=2026-07-22}}</ref>

Volunteers can contribute either by running the standard [[BOINC]] client (which requires VirtualBox for the project's virtual-machine-based jobs) or, for institutional donors with cloud virtual machines, an alternative Docker-based mechanism developed specifically for the project.<ref>{{Cite web |authors=Arora, Ritu |title=ritua2/BOINCatTACC |url=https://github.com/ritua2/BOINCatTACC |work=GitHub |access-date=2026-07-22}}</ref> Task availability on BOINC@TACC has historically been intermittent, since work is generated only as TACC researchers submit qualifying jobs rather than on a continuous schedule; during the COVID-19 pandemic, for example, volunteers reported a batch of virtual-machine-based tasks related to COVID-19 research becoming briefly available.<ref>{{Cite web |authors=AnandTech Forums |title=BOINC@TACC has work |url=https://forums.anandtech.com/threads/boinc-tacc-has-work.2579094/ |work=AnandTech Forums |date=2020-04-06 |access-date=2026-07-22}}</ref>

== History ==
After several live iterations, the project began operating in 2017 under the name '''TACC-2-BOINC'''.<ref name="github">{{Cite web |authors=Arora, Ritu |title=ritua2/BOINCatTACC |url=https://github.com/ritua2/BOINCatTACC |work=GitHub |access-date=2026-07-22}}</ref> To get started, the TACC team deployed an instance of a BOINC server on a cloud computing platform and then developed the software needed to integrate BOINC with TACC's supercomputing and cloud computing platforms.<ref name="hpcwire" /> On July 30, 2018, the project was renamed BOINC@TACC and moved to its current project URL.<ref name="github" /> The project is funded primarily through [[National Science Foundation|NSF]] award #1664022, with additional support from [[XSEDE]], TACC, and the Science Gateway Community Institute.<ref>{{Cite web |authors=Arora, Ritu, Carlos Redondo and Gerald Joshua |title=Scalable Software Infrastructure for Integrating Supercomputing with Volunteer Computing and Cloud Computing |url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-981-13-7729-7_8 |work=Software Challenges to Exascale Computing |date=2019 |access-date=2026-07-22}}</ref> Contributors to the BOINC@TACC codebase have included Carlos Redondo, an aerospace engineering student and developer on the project, along with Thomas Johnson and Anubhaw Nand, with additional input from [[BOINC]] founder [[David P. Anderson|David Anderson]].<ref>{{Cite web |authors=Arora, Ritu, Carlos Redondo and Gerald Joshua |title=Scalable Software Infrastructure for Integrating Supercomputing with Volunteer Computing and Cloud Computing |url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-981-13-7729-7_8 |work=Software Challenges to Exascale Computing |date=2019 |access-date=2026-07-22}}</ref>

== Software infrastructure ==
The BOINC@TACC codebase, hosted on [[GitHub]] under the LGPL-3.0 license, builds on the ''boinc-server-docker'' software originally developed by Marius Millea and extends it with several project-specific components.<ref name="github" />

=== Job routing and application deployment ===
A command-line back-end, ''stampede2-backend'', runs on Stampede2 and other TACC [[SLURM]]-scheduled Linux systems to determine whether a submitted job is eligible to run on volunteered BOINC clients rather than on TACC resources.<ref name="github" /> Researchers can also submit and track jobs through a web-based user interface built for the project.<ref name="github" /> Applications are packaged as Docker images through a component called MIDAS, which automatically generates Docker containers from source code so they can run either inside [[VirtualBox]] on traditional BOINC clients or directly inside Docker on volunteered cloud virtual machines through a mechanism called VolCon.<ref name="github" /> Pre-built Docker images maintained by the project team have included [[AutoDock]] Vina, [[BEDTools]], [[BLAST (biotechnology)|BLAST]], [[Bowtie (sequence analysis)|Bowtie]], [[GROMACS]], HTSeq, [[LAMMPS]], [[NAMD]], and [[OpenSees]].<ref>{{Cite web |authors=Texas Advanced Computing Center |title=About BOINC@TACC |url=https://boinc.tacc.utexas.edu/about.php |work=boinc.tacc.utexas.edu |access-date=2026-07-22}}</ref>

=== Reef cloud storage ===
Result files produced by BOINC@TACC jobs are stored using ''Reef'', a lightweight, reusable cloud storage component built for the project (also described in the literature under the name ''Greyfish''). Reef can be deployed either as a single storage node ("pocket Reef") or, for larger workloads, as a distributed system with a manager node and one or more remote storage nodes.<ref name="github" />

=== Credit system ===
Like other BOINC projects, BOINC@TACC computes each volunteer's Recent Average Credit (RAC) as an exponentially weighted moving average that gives more weight to recently granted credit and decays older contributions with a half-life of one week. Following BOINC's general credit-accounting scheme, whenever new credit <math>c</math> is granted at a time interval <math>\Delta t</math> after the previous update, the RAC is recalculated as

<math>\text{RAC}_{\text{new}} = \text{RAC}_{\text{old}} \cdot e^{-\Delta t \ln 2 / T} + \frac{c}{T}\left(1 - e^{-\Delta t \ln 2 / T}\right)</math>

where <math>T</math> is the credit half-life (seven days).<ref>{{Cite web |authors=Anderson, David P. |title=BOINC: A Platform for Volunteer Computing |url=https://arxiv.org/abs/1903.01699 |work=arXiv |date=2019 |access-date=2026-07-22}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |authors=BOINC |title=CreditStats |url=https://github.com/BOINC/boinc/wiki/CreditStats |work=GitHub |access-date=2026-07-22}}</ref> As with several smaller BOINC projects, BOINC@TACC has not published its statistics through third-party aggregators such as [[BOINCstats]] or Free-DC, so detailed current figures for active users, hosts, and average performance are not publicly available.<ref>{{Cite web |authors=AnandTech Forums |title=BOINC@TACC has work |url=https://forums.anandtech.com/threads/boinc-tacc-has-work.2579094/ |work=AnandTech Forums |date=2020-04-06 |access-date=2026-07-22}}</ref>

== Volunteering ==
Volunteers can join BOINC@TACC either by attaching the standard [[BOINC]] client to the project (requiring [[VirtualBox]] for virtual-machine-based tasks), or, for donors offering cloud-based virtual machines, by using the project's alternative VolCon software.<ref>{{Cite web |authors=Texas Advanced Computing Center |title=About BOINC@TACC |url=https://boinc.tacc.utexas.edu/about.php |work=boinc.tacc.utexas.edu |access-date=2026-07-22}}</ref> Researchers eligible to submit jobs include TACC users, researchers from any of the 14 University of Texas System institutions, and, historically, researchers accessing TACC resources through [[XSEDE]].<ref name="hpcwire" />

[https://boinc.termit.me/adsl/ '''''SPT'''''] ('''Symmetric Prime Tuples''') is a [[wikipedia:BOINC|BOINC]]-based [[wikipedia:Volunteer computing|volunteer computing]] project dedicated to researching symmetric [[wikipedia:Prime k-tuple|prime k-tuples]] of consecutive primes, a topic in [[wikipedia:Number theory|number theory]]. Volunteers donate idle CPU time on their personal computers to help systematically search for symmetric prime k-tuples, advancing an open mathematical problem first formally presented by mathematician Natalia Makarova. The project is hosted at <code>boinc.termit.me/adsl/</code> and serves as the direct continuation of an earlier lineage of BOINC projects pursuing the same mathematical goal.

== Background and History ==

[[File:Ulam 1.png|thumb|296x296px|The [[wikipedia:Ulam spiral|Ulam spiral]], a visualisation of the distribution of prime numbers. SPT investigates a specific structural property of consecutive primes: whether they can be arranged in symmetric patterns.]]

The search for symmetric prime tuples has a rich history within the volunteer computing community. The research lineage traces back to '''Stop@Home''', an early BOINC project that searched for symmetric prime sequences.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.primepuzzles.net/problems/prob_062.htm |title=Problem 62. Symmetric k-tuples of consecutive primes |publisher=primepuzzles.net |access-date=2026-05-23}}</ref> Stop@Home achieved a notable result: in April 2017, the project's volunteers discovered a minimal symmetric 17-tuple with starting prime <math>p = 159{,}067{,}808{,}851{,}610{,}411</math> and offsets 0, 42, 60, 96, 102, 186, 210, 240, 246, 252, 282, 306, 390, 396, 432, 450, 492.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.primepuzzles.net/problems/prob_062.htm |title=Problem 62. Symmetric k-tuples of consecutive primes |publisher=primepuzzles.net |access-date=2026-05-23}}</ref>

When Stop@Home was retired, the work was taken up as a subproject by '''T.Brada Experimental Grid''' (TBEG), a multi-application BOINC project run by Tomáš Brada. The TBEG symmetric prime tuples subproject was announced on 18 October 2019 after multiple closed tests, and was described explicitly as "a continuation of deceased project Stop@home."<ref>{{cite web |url=https://boinc.tbrada.eu/old_news.php |title=News Archive - T.Brada Experimental Grid |access-date=2026-05-23}}</ref> The subproject extended the search beyond symmetric prime tuples to also cover twin prime tuples, symmetric twin prime tuples, and prime tuple gaps, and extended the search interval accordingly.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://boincsynergy.ca/forum/viewtopic.php?t=28 |title=T. Brada Experimental Grid - BOINC Synergy |access-date=2026-05-23}}</ref> The TBEG subproject was available for both Linux and Windows, and ran until the project's closure in 2022.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://hardforum.com/threads/symmetric-prime-tuples-spt-test-project-aka-spt-home.2029790/ |title=Symmetric Prime Tuples (SPT Test Project aka SPT@home) - HardForum |date=2023-08-07 |access-date=2026-05-23}}</ref>

After TBEG went offline, Natalia Makarova and her colleagues established the standalone '''SPT''' project in 2023 to continue this research without interruption. The project was configured by a developer known as Demis, who adapted the original source code from Tomáš Brada's repository for the new platform.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://boinc.termit.me/adsl/about.php |title=About SPT |publisher=boinc.termit.me |access-date=2026-05-23}}</ref> A parallel branch of the same research also runs within '''[[wikipedia:Gerasim@Home|Gerasim@Home]]''' under the application name "Get Symmetrical Tuples", which employs a different algorithm targeting only odd-length tuples.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://boinc.termit.me/adsl/about.php |title=About SPT |publisher=boinc.termit.me |access-date=2026-05-23}}</ref>

== Goal ==

The primary goal of SPT is to continue the work of the [https://boinc.tbrada.eu/ T. Brada Experimental Grid project] by systematically searching for symmetric prime k-tuples of consecutive primes. The project seeks to find solutions with minimal diameter and minimal value of the starting prime <math>p</math> for various values of <math>k</math>, and to discover solutions for values of <math>k</math> for which none are yet known. All results are published publicly in the [https://boinc.tbrada.eu/spt/explore.php Prime Tuple Database], hosted on the T. Brada Experimental Grid website.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://boinc.termit.me/adsl/about.php |title=About SPT |publisher=boinc.termit.me |access-date=2026-05-23}}</ref>

== Mathematical Background ==

The SPT application is based on [http://www.primepuzzles.net/problems/prob_062.htm '''Problem 62. Symmetric k-tuples of consecutive primes'''], a mathematical puzzle submitted by Natalia Makarova to Carlos Rivera's ''Prime Puzzles and Problems Connection'' website.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.primepuzzles.net/problems/prob_062.htm |title=Problem 62. Symmetric k-tuples of consecutive primes |publisher=primepuzzles.net |access-date=2026-05-23}}</ref>

=== Definition 1: Prime k-tuple ===

A [[wikipedia:Prime k-tuple|prime k-tuple]] is a finite collection of values

:<math>\bigl(p + a_1,\; p + a_2,\; p + a_3,\; \ldots,\; p + a_k\bigr)</math>

where <math>p,\; p + a_1,\; p + a_2,\; \ldots,\; p + a_k</math> are prime numbers, and <math>(a_1, a_2, a_3, \ldots, a_k)</math> form a pattern. Typically the first value in the pattern is 0 and the remaining values are distinct positive even numbers.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prime_k-tuple |title=Prime k-tuple |publisher=Wikipedia |access-date=2026-05-23}}</ref>

In SPT, the search is further restricted to the case where <math>p + a_1,\; p + a_2,\; \ldots,\; p + a_k</math> are '''consecutive''' primes, meaning there are no primes between any two adjacent elements of the tuple.

=== Definition 2: Symmetric k-tuple (even k) ===

For even <math>k</math>, a k-tuple

:<math>\bigl(p+a_1,\; p+a_2,\; \ldots,\; p+a_{k/2},\; p+a_{k/2+1},\; \ldots,\; p+a_{k-1},\; p+a_k\bigr)</math>

is called '''symmetric''' if the following condition is satisfied:<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.primepuzzles.net/problems/prob_062.htm |title=Problem 62. Symmetric k-tuples of consecutive primes |publisher=primepuzzles.net |access-date=2026-05-23}}</ref>

:<math>a_1 + a_k \;=\; a_2 + a_{k-1} \;=\; a_3 + a_{k-2} \;=\; \cdots \;=\; a_{k/2} + a_{k/2+1}</math>

That is, the offsets mirror each other around the centre of the tuple.

'''Example: symmetric 8-tuple'''

The tuple <math>(17+0,\; 17+2,\; 17+6,\; 17+12,\; 17+14,\; 17+20,\; 17+24,\; 17+26)</math> satisfies the symmetry condition, since <math>0+26 = 2+24 = 6+20 = 12+14 = 26</math>. In shorthand notation this is written as:

: <code>17: 0, 2, 6, 12, 14, 20, 24, 26</code>

=== Definition 3: Symmetric k-tuple (odd k) ===

For odd <math>k</math>, a k-tuple is called '''symmetric''' if:<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.primepuzzles.net/problems/prob_062.htm |title=Problem 62. Symmetric k-tuples of consecutive primes |publisher=primepuzzles.net |access-date=2026-05-23}}</ref>

:<math>a_1 + a_k \;=\; a_2 + a_{k-1} \;=\; \cdots \;=\; a_{(k-1)/2} + a_{(k-1)/2+2} \;=\; 2\,a_{(k-1)/2+1}</math>

The middle element <math>a_{(k-1)/2+1}</math> is exactly the average of its flanking pair, making it the literal centre of symmetry.

'''Example: symmetric 5-tuple'''

: <code>18713: 0, 6, 18, 30, 36</code>

Here the middle offset is 18, and <math>0+36 = 6+30 = 2 \times 18 = 36</math>, confirming symmetry.

=== Definition 4: Diameter ===

[[File:BOINC logo.png|right|frameless|150x150px|BOINC, the Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing, is the platform that powers SPT.]]

The '''diameter''' <math>d</math> of a k-tuple is the difference between its largest and smallest offsets:<ref>{{cite web |url=http://oeis.org/A055380 |title=OEIS A055380 |publisher=The OEIS Foundation |access-date=2026-05-23}}</ref>

:<math>d \;=\; a_k - a_1</math>

For the 8-tuple example above, <math>d = 26 - 0 = 26</math>. Known solutions with minimal diameter and minimal starting prime <math>p</math> for <math>k = 2, 4, 6, 8</math> are catalogued in [[wikipedia:OEIS|OEIS]] sequence [http://oeis.org/A081235 A081235].

=== Open Questions ===

The project is working to answer two main questions posed by Makarova:<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.primepuzzles.net/problems/prob_062.htm |title=Problem 62. Symmetric k-tuples of consecutive primes |publisher=primepuzzles.net |access-date=2026-05-23}}</ref>

# Find solutions with a minimal diameter and minimal starting prime <math>p</math> for <math>10 < k < 17</math>, and for <math>k = 18, 20, 22, 24</math>.
# Find solutions (minimal or otherwise) for the remaining even and odd values of <math>k</math>.

As of the project's current knowledge, no solutions have been found for <math>k = 17, 19, 21, 23</math>.

== Known Solutions ==

[[File:Sieve of Eratosthenes animation.gif|thumb|296x296px|The [[wikipedia:Sieve of Eratosthenes|Sieve of Eratosthenes]], the classical prime-finding algorithm underlying the modern primesieve library used by SPT.]]

The table below summarises the best known solutions for various values of <math>k</math>, as published on the project's reference page.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.primepuzzles.net/problems/prob_062.htm |title=Problem 62. Symmetric k-tuples of consecutive primes |publisher=primepuzzles.net |access-date=2026-05-23}}</ref> Solutions marked "not minimal" indicate that a smaller starting prime <math>p</math> or smaller diameter may still exist. Results were discovered across Stop@Home, TBEG, manual computation by contributors such as J. Wroblewski and two anonymous Russian contributors, and the ongoing SPT project.

Wroblewski found minimal-diameter solutions for <math>k = 15, 17, 18, 20</math> during a contest organised by Makarova and her colleague S.

== Methods ==

=== Prime Matrix Construction ===

The SPT application is computationally demanding by design. Each work unit requires approximately '''1.3 GB of RAM''', nearly all of which is consumed during the construction of a matrix of prime numbers.<ref name="faq">{{cite web |url=https://boinc.termit.me/adsl/faq-en.php |title=FAQ SPT |publisher=boinc.termit.me |access-date=2026-05-23}}</ref> This prime matrix is built using [https://github.com/kimwalisch/primesieve '''primesieve'''], an open-source C/C++ library by Kim Walisch that generates prime numbers using the segmented [[wikipedia:Sieve of Eratosthenes|Sieve of Eratosthenes]] with wheel factorization.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://github.com/kimwalisch/primesieve/blob/master/README.md |title=primesieve README |publisher=GitHub |access-date=2026-05-23}}</ref> The library detects the CPU's L1 and L2 cache sizes and allocates its data structures accordingly, making it well-suited to the large prime searches required by SPT.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://github.com/kimwalisch/primesieve/blob/master/README.md |title=primesieve README |publisher=GitHub |access-date=2026-05-23}}</ref>

The specific version of primesieve used in SPT is pinned to [https://github.com/kimwalisch/primesieve/tree/2b2c4a5c62f0cd9dfd9f56cca580ea47fa84dc2d commit 2b2c4a5].<ref name="faq" />

=== Search Algorithm ===

Once the prime matrix is constructed, the tuple-search code operates on only '''5 to 6 MB''' of memory and does not grow during execution.<ref name="faq" /> The search algorithm was originally written by Tomáš Brada (available at [https://github.com/tomasbrod/tbboinc/tree/primes/symprtu his GitHub repository]) and subsequently adapted for the SPT BOINC project by Demis (at [https://github.com/DemIS-1/spt the SPT GitHub repository]).<ref name="faq" />

=== Memory Growth Over Time ===

As the project searches progressively larger prime numbers, the prime matrix must grow to cover the expanded search range. When SPT first launched, the matrix for a single task was approximately '''620 MB'''; it has since grown to 1.3 GB and will continue to increase slowly as the numbers under investigation become larger.<ref name="faq" />

=== Work Unit Timing ===

A single work unit takes on average between '''45 minutes and 1.5 hours''' to complete, though significant variation exists. Some machines complete tasks in as little as 20 minutes, while slower or memory-constrained machines may take up to 240 minutes.<ref name="faq" /> The project server allows up to '''6 days''' for a task to be returned before it is reassigned to another volunteer.<ref name="faq" />

The FAQ cautions volunteers about task overcommitment. A 4-core machine that accepts 1,000 tasks at 1 hour per task per core can process at most <math>4 \times 24 \times 6 = 576</math> tasks in the 6-day deadline window, leaving <math>1000 - 576 = 424</math> tasks to time out and be reassigned by the server automatically.<ref name="faq" />

=== Resource Management Recommendations ===

Because SPT tasks are memory-intensive, the project FAQ provides guidance for users on setting appropriate resource limits. For a machine with 4 GB of RAM and 4 logical cores (2 physical with hyperthreading enabled), one core should be reserved for the operating system. Running 3 simultaneous SPT tasks would require

:<math>3 \times 1.3\,\text{GB} = 3.9\,\text{GB}</math>

of RAM, which is likely to force the system to use swap memory and cause severe slowdown. The project therefore recommends limiting concurrent tasks to 2 on such hardware, corresponding to a 50% CPU limit in BOINC Manager.<ref name="faq" />

Advanced users may configure a local <code>app_config.xml</code> file placed in the project directory (<code>/projects/boinc.termit.me_adsl/</code>) to cap the number of simultaneously running tasks:

<syntaxhighlight lang="xml">
<app_config>
<project_max_concurrent>8</project_max_concurrent>
</app_config>
</syntaxhighlight>

The value should be set to reflect available RAM, where each task requires approximately 1.3 GB.<ref name="faq" />

[https://boinc.termit.me/adsl/ '''''SPT'''''] ('''Symmetric Prime Tuples''') is a [[wikipedia:BOINC|BOINC]]-based [[wikipedia:Volunteer computing|volunteer computing]] project dedicated to researching symmetric [[wikipedia:Prime k-tuple|prime k-tuples]] of consecutive primes, a topic in [[wikipedia:Number theory|number theory]]. Volunteers donate idle CPU time on their personal computers to help systematically search for symmetric prime k-tuples, advancing an open mathematical problem first formally presented by mathematician Natalia Makarova. The project is hosted at <code>boinc.termit.me/adsl/</code> and serves as the direct continuation of an earlier lineage of BOINC projects pursuing the same mathematical goal.

== Background and History ==

[[File:Ulam 1.png|thumb|296x296px|The [[wikipedia:Ulam spiral|Ulam spiral]], a visualisation of the distribution of prime numbers. SPT investigates a specific structural property of consecutive primes: whether they can be arranged in symmetric patterns.]]

The search for symmetric prime tuples has a rich history within the volunteer computing community. The research lineage traces back to '''Stop@Home''', an early BOINC project that searched for symmetric prime sequences.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.primepuzzles.net/problems/prob_062.htm |title=Problem 62. Symmetric k-tuples of consecutive primes |publisher=primepuzzles.net |access-date=2026-05-23}}</ref> Stop@Home achieved a notable result: in April 2017, the project's volunteers discovered a minimal symmetric 17-tuple with starting prime <math>p = 159{,}067{,}808{,}851{,}610{,}411</math> and offsets 0, 42, 60, 96, 102, 186, 210, 240, 246, 252, 282, 306, 390, 396, 432, 450, 492.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.primepuzzles.net/problems/prob_062.htm |title=Problem 62. Symmetric k-tuples of consecutive primes |publisher=primepuzzles.net |access-date=2026-05-23}}</ref>

When Stop@Home was retired, the work was taken up as a subproject by '''T.Brada Experimental Grid''' (TBEG), a multi-application BOINC project run by Tomáš Brada. The TBEG symmetric prime tuples subproject was announced on 18 October 2019 after multiple closed tests, and was described explicitly as "a continuation of deceased project Stop@home."<ref>{{cite web |url=https://boinc.tbrada.eu/old_news.php |title=News Archive - T.Brada Experimental Grid |access-date=2026-05-23}}</ref> The subproject extended the search beyond symmetric prime tuples to also cover twin prime tuples, symmetric twin prime tuples, and prime tuple gaps, and extended the search interval accordingly.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://boincsynergy.ca/forum/viewtopic.php?t=28 |title=T. Brada Experimental Grid - BOINC Synergy |access-date=2026-05-23}}</ref> The TBEG subproject was available for both Linux and Windows, and ran until the project's closure in 2022.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://hardforum.com/threads/symmetric-prime-tuples-spt-test-project-aka-spt-home.2029790/ |title=Symmetric Prime Tuples (SPT Test Project aka SPT@home) - HardForum |date=2023-08-07 |access-date=2026-05-23}}</ref>

After TBEG went offline, Natalia Makarova and her colleagues established the standalone '''SPT''' project in 2023 to continue this research without interruption. The project was configured by a developer known as Demis, who adapted the original source code from Tomáš Brada's repository for the new platform.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://boinc.termit.me/adsl/about.php |title=About SPT |publisher=boinc.termit.me |access-date=2026-05-23}}</ref> A parallel branch of the same research also runs within '''[[wikipedia:Gerasim@Home|Gerasim@Home]]''' under the application name "Get Symmetrical Tuples", which employs a different algorithm targeting only odd-length tuples.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://boinc.termit.me/adsl/about.php |title=About SPT |publisher=boinc.termit.me |access-date=2026-05-23}}</ref>

== Goal ==

The primary goal of SPT is to continue the work of the [https://boinc.tbrada.eu/ T. Brada Experimental Grid project] by systematically searching for symmetric prime k-tuples of consecutive primes. The project seeks to find solutions with minimal diameter and minimal value of the starting prime <math>p</math> for various values of <math>k</math>, and to discover solutions for values of <math>k</math> for which none are yet known. All results are published publicly in the [https://boinc.tbrada.eu/spt/explore.php Prime Tuple Database], hosted on the T. Brada Experimental Grid website.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://boinc.termit.me/adsl/about.php |title=About SPT |publisher=boinc.termit.me |access-date=2026-05-23}}</ref>

== Mathematical Background ==

The SPT application is based on [http://www.primepuzzles.net/problems/prob_062.htm '''Problem 62. Symmetric k-tuples of consecutive primes'''], a mathematical puzzle submitted by Natalia Makarova to Carlos Rivera's ''Prime Puzzles and Problems Connection'' website.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.primepuzzles.net/problems/prob_062.htm |title=Problem 62. Symmetric k-tuples of consecutive primes |publisher=primepuzzles.net |access-date=2026-05-23}}</ref>

=== Definition 1: Prime k-tuple ===

A [[wikipedia:Prime k-tuple|prime k-tuple]] is a finite collection of values

:<math>\bigl(p + a_1,\; p + a_2,\; p + a_3,\; \ldots,\; p + a_k\bigr)</math>

where <math>p,\; p + a_1,\; p + a_2,\; \ldots,\; p + a_k</math> are prime numbers, and <math>(a_1, a_2, a_3, \ldots, a_k)</math> form a pattern. Typically the first value in the pattern is 0 and the remaining values are distinct positive even numbers.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prime_k-tuple |title=Prime k-tuple |publisher=Wikipedia |access-date=2026-05-23}}</ref>

In SPT, the search is further restricted to the case where <math>p + a_1,\; p + a_2,\; \ldots,\; p + a_k</math> are '''consecutive''' primes, meaning there are no primes between any two adjacent elements of the tuple.

=== Definition 2: Symmetric k-tuple (even k) ===

For even <math>k</math>, a k-tuple

:<math>\bigl(p+a_1,\; p+a_2,\; \ldots,\; p+a_{k/2},\; p+a_{k/2+1},\; \ldots,\; p+a_{k-1},\; p+a_k\bigr)</math>

is called '''symmetric''' if the following condition is satisfied:<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.primepuzzles.net/problems/prob_062.htm |title=Problem 62. Symmetric k-tuples of consecutive primes |publisher=primepuzzles.net |access-date=2026-05-23}}</ref>

:<math>a_1 + a_k \;=\; a_2 + a_{k-1} \;=\; a_3 + a_{k-2} \;=\; \cdots \;=\; a_{k/2} + a_{k/2+1}</math>

That is, the offsets mirror each other around the centre of the tuple.

'''Example: symmetric 8-tuple'''

The tuple <math>(17+0,\; 17+2,\; 17+6,\; 17+12,\; 17+14,\; 17+20,\; 17+24,\; 17+26)</math> satisfies the symmetry condition, since <math>0+26 = 2+24 = 6+20 = 12+14 = 26</math>. In shorthand notation this is written as:

: <code>17: 0, 2, 6, 12, 14, 20, 24, 26</code>

=== Definition 3: Symmetric k-tuple (odd k) ===

For odd <math>k</math>, a k-tuple is called '''symmetric''' if:<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.primepuzzles.net/problems/prob_062.htm |title=Problem 62. Symmetric k-tuples of consecutive primes |publisher=primepuzzles.net |access-date=2026-05-23}}</ref>

:<math>a_1 + a_k \;=\; a_2 + a_{k-1} \;=\; \cdots \;=\; a_{(k-1)/2} + a_{(k-1)/2+2} \;=\; 2\,a_{(k-1)/2+1}</math>

The middle element <math>a_{(k-1)/2+1}</math> is exactly the average of its flanking pair, making it the literal centre of symmetry.

'''Example: symmetric 5-tuple'''

: <code>18713: 0, 6, 18, 30, 36</code>

Here the middle offset is 18, and <math>0+36 = 6+30 = 2 \times 18 = 36</math>, confirming symmetry.

=== Definition 4: Diameter ===

[[File:BOINC logo.png|right|frameless|150x150px|BOINC, the Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing, is the platform that powers SPT.]]

The '''diameter''' <math>d</math> of a k-tuple is the difference between its largest and smallest offsets:<ref>{{cite web |url=http://oeis.org/A055380 |title=OEIS A055380 |publisher=The OEIS Foundation |access-date=2026-05-23}}</ref>

:<math>d \;=\; a_k - a_1</math>

For the 8-tuple example above, <math>d = 26 - 0 = 26</math>. Known solutions with minimal diameter and minimal starting prime <math>p</math> for <math>k = 2, 4, 6, 8</math> are catalogued in [[wikipedia:OEIS|OEIS]] sequence [http://oeis.org/A081235 A081235].

=== Open Questions ===

The project is working to answer two main questions posed by Makarova:<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.primepuzzles.net/problems/prob_062.htm |title=Problem 62. Symmetric k-tuples of consecutive primes |publisher=primepuzzles.net |access-date=2026-05-23}}</ref>

# Find solutions with a minimal diameter and minimal starting prime <math>p</math> for <math>10 < k < 17</math>, and for <math>k = 18, 20, 22, 24</math>.
# Find solutions (minimal or otherwise) for the remaining even and odd values of <math>k</math>.

As of the project's current knowledge, no solutions have been found for <math>k = 17, 19, 21, 23</math>.

== Known Solutions ==

[[File:Sieve of Eratosthenes animation.gif|thumb|right|220px|The [[wikipedia:Sieve of Eratosthenes|Sieve of Eratosthenes]], the classical prime-finding algorithm underlying the modern primesieve library used by SPT.]]

The table below summarises the best known solutions for various values of <math>k</math>, as published on the project's reference page.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.primepuzzles.net/problems/prob_062.htm |title=Problem 62. Symmetric k-tuples of consecutive primes |publisher=primepuzzles.net |access-date=2026-05-23}}</ref> Solutions marked "not minimal" indicate that a smaller starting prime <math>p</math> or smaller diameter may still exist. Results were discovered across Stop@Home, TBEG, manual computation by contributors such as J. Wroblewski and two anonymous Russian contributors, and the ongoing SPT project.

Symmetric k-tuples of consecutive primes |publisher=primepuzzles.net |access-date=2026-05-23}}</ref>

== Methods ==

=== Prime Matrix Construction ===

The SPT application is computationally demanding by design. Each work unit requires approximately '''1.3 GB of RAM''', nearly all of which is consumed during the construction of a matrix of prime numbers.<ref name="faq">{{cite web |url=https://boinc.termit.me/adsl/faq-en.php |title=FAQ SPT |publisher=boinc.termit.me |access-date=2026-05-23}}</ref> This prime matrix is built using [https://github.com/kimwalisch/primesieve '''primesieve'''], an open-source C/C++ library by Kim Walisch that generates prime numbers using the segmented [[wikipedia:Sieve of Eratosthenes|Sieve of Eratosthenes]] with wheel factorization.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://github.com/kimwalisch/primesieve/blob/master/README.md |title=primesieve README |publisher=GitHub |access-date=2026-05-23}}</ref> The library detects the CPU's L1 and L2 cache sizes and allocates its data structures accordingly, making it well-suited to the large prime searches required by SPT.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://github.com/kimwalisch/primesieve/blob/master/README.md |title=primesieve README |publisher=GitHub |access-date=2026-05-23}}</ref>

The specific version of primesieve used in SPT is pinned to [https://github.com/kimwalisch/primesieve/tree/2b2c4a5c62f0cd9dfd9f56cca580ea47fa84dc2d commit 2b2c4a5].<ref name="faq" />

=== Search Algorithm ===

Once the prime matrix is constructed, the tuple-search code operates on only '''5 to 6 MB''' of memory and does not grow during execution.<ref name="faq" /> The search algorithm was originally written by Tomáš Brada (available at [https://github.com/tomasbrod/tbboinc/tree/primes/symprtu his GitHub repository]) and subsequently adapted for the SPT BOINC project by Demis (at [https://github.com/DemIS-1/spt the SPT GitHub repository]).<ref name="faq" />

=== Memory Growth Over Time ===

As the project searches progressively larger prime numbers, the prime matrix must grow to cover the expanded search range. When SPT first launched, the matrix for a single task was approximately '''620 MB'''; it has since grown to 1.3 GB and will continue to increase slowly as the numbers under investigation become larger.<ref name="faq" />

=== Work Unit Timing ===

A single work unit takes on average between '''45 minutes and 1.5 hours''' to complete, though significant variation exists. Some machines complete tasks in as little as 20 minutes, while slower or memory-constrained machines may take up to 240 minutes.<ref name="faq" /> The project server allows up to '''6 days''' for a task to be returned before it is reassigned to another volunteer.<ref name="faq" />

The FAQ cautions volunteers about task overcommitment. A 4-core machine that accepts 1,000 tasks at 1 hour per task per core can process at most <math>4 \times 24 \times 6 = 576</math> tasks in the 6-day deadline window, leaving <math>1000 - 576 = 424</math> tasks to time out and be reassigned by the server automatically.<ref name="faq" />

=== Resource Management Recommendations ===

Because SPT tasks are memory-intensive, the project FAQ provides guidance for users on setting appropriate resource limits. For a machine with 4 GB of RAM and 4 logical cores (2 physical with hyperthreading enabled), one core should be reserved for the operating system. Running 3 simultaneous SPT tasks would require

:<math>3 \times 1.3\,\text{GB} = 3.9\,\text{GB}</math>

of RAM, which is likely to force the system to use swap memory and cause severe slowdown. The project therefore recommends limiting concurrent tasks to 2 on such hardware, corresponding to a 50% CPU limit in BOINC Manager.<ref name="faq" />

Advanced users may configure a local <code>app_config.xml</code> file placed in the project directory (<code>/projects/boinc.termit.me_adsl/</code>) to cap the number of simultaneously running tasks:

<syntaxhighlight lang="xml">
<app_config>
<project_max_concurrent>8</project_max_concurrent>
</app_config>
</syntaxhighlight>

The value should be set to reflect available RAM, where each task requires approximately 1.3 GB.<ref name="faq" />

== Project Team ==

SPT is maintained by a small international team of mathematicians and developers:<ref>{{cite web |url=https://boinc.termit.me/adsl/about.php |title=About SPT |publisher=boinc.termit.me |access-date=2026-05-23}}</ref>

* '''Demis''' - developer who configured the SPT BOINC server and adapted the application code for the project.
* '''Natalia Makarova''' - project scientist and originator of the mathematical problem underlying SPT; author of the problem formulation on primepuzzles.net.
* '''Alex Belyshev''' - project co-maintainer.
* '''Tomáš Brada''' - author of the original symmetric prime tuple search code used as the basis for SPT, and former operator of the T. Brada Experimental Grid.

== Scientific Results ==

All results produced by the SPT project are made publicly available through the [https://boinc.tbrada.eu/spt/explore.php Prime Tuple Database], hosted on the T. Brada Experimental Grid website.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://boinc.termit.me/adsl/about.php |title=About SPT |publisher=boinc.termit.me |access-date=2026-05-23}}</ref> Raw result archives are downloadable directly from the project server in several formats:<ref name="faq" />

* [https://boinc.termit.me/adsl/spt-archive.tar.gz Results as-is from the table]
* [https://boinc.termit.me/adsl/spt-table-converted_ofs.tar.gz Results with offsets converted from ofs to dn]
* [https://boinc.termit.me/adsl/spt-table-converted.tar.gz Results converted to an]

The project's findings contribute to [[wikipedia:OEIS|OEIS]] sequences related to prime k-tuples, including [http://oeis.org/A081235 A081235] (minimal symmetric prime tuples) and [http://oeis.org/A055380 A055380] (diameter of prime k-tuples).<ref>{{cite web |url=http://oeis.org/A081235 |title=OEIS A081235 |publisher=The OEIS Foundation |access-date=2026-05-23}}</ref>

== Project Statistics ==

As of 23 May 2026, the SPT server status reports 192 registered users with credit and 1,026 registered hosts. All server infrastructure components (download server, upload server, scheduler, feeder, transitioner, and file deleter) are reported as running normally.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://boinc.termit.me/adsl/server_status.php |title=Project status - SPT |publisher=boinc.termit.me |access-date=2026-05-23}}</ref> The project is currently in a period of low activity, with no tasks in progress or ready to send as of the statistics date.

== Participating ==

To join the SPT project, download and install the [https://boinc.berkeley.edu/ BOINC client] and attach to the project using the URL:

: <code>https://boinc.termit.me/adsl/</code>

The project supports '''Windows''' and '''Linux''' operating systems. Tasks run on CPU only; there is no GPU support. Given the 1.3 GB RAM requirement per task, users with limited memory are encouraged to consult the [https://boinc.termit.me/adsl/faq-en.php project FAQ] before configuring BOINC resource limits.

One is palindromic, where the nucleotides in the beginning of the model have their complement at the end of the model. The other model type is reverse complement, which doesn't assume the model to be palindromic, but looks for either the forward or reverse version of the model.

<span class="bs-definition-label">What is a BOINC project?</span>
'''A BOINC project''' is a website and associated server set up by an individual or group to distribute applications to [https://boinc.berkeley.edu/ BOINC] volunteer computing devices. Those devices deliberately attach to receive, process, and return results for further scientific research — at no cost to the researcher, and no cost to the volunteer beyond electricity.

''BOINC'' stands for '''Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing''', developed at the University of California, Berkeley. Any researcher can create a BOINC project; any person can donate their idle CPU or GPU time to one.

<div class="bs-cta">
<div class="bs-cta-title">📋 The BOINC Projects Master Table</div>
<div class="bs-cta-body">The [[BOINC projects|List of all BOINC projects]] table is the heart of this wiki — a structured, sortable reference covering project name, research field, institution, supported platforms, active status, GPU support, and more. It is the primary reason this resource exists and the most complete registry of BOINC projects available anywhere.</div>

<div class="bs-cta-title">📺 BOINC Project Screensaver Archive</div>
<div class="bs-cta-body">Before modern power management made them obsolete, every BOINC project shipped a real-time animated screensaver showing the computation in progress, including protein chains folding, star fields sweeping and climate models spinning. All 71 known screensaver recordings, spanning projects from SETI@home to Pirates@Home, are now preserved in one place.</div>

'''[https://boinc.berkeley.edu/alpha/ BOINC Alpha Test]''' is the official quality assurance project for the [[wikipedia:BOINC|BOINC]] middleware itself. Rather than distributing scientific workunits, it exists purely so that volunteers can install experimental builds of the BOINC client software and report back whether they work correctly across the enormous variety of hardware, operating systems, and configurations found on real volunteers' computers. It has been operated by the [[wikipedia:University of California, Berkeley|University of California, Berkeley]] since 2004 and remains active today, run out of the same Space Sciences Laboratory group that maintains BOINC and [[SETI@home]].

== Overview ==
BOINC Alpha Test does not conduct scientific research of its own. Instead, it functions as a controlled proving ground for new releases of the BOINC client, letting developers gather structured feedback from volunteer testers before a version is pushed to the general public through projects such as [[Rosetta@home]], [[Einstein@Home]], and [[Climateprediction.net]].<ref name="alphahome">{{Cite web |title=BOINC Alpha Test |url=https://boinc.berkeley.edu/alpha/ |publisher=University of California, Berkeley |access-date=2026-07-20}}</ref> Testers download a candidate release, exercise it against a checklist of test cases covering installation, project attachment, and everyday operation, and submit their results through a web-based reporting interface. Anyone willing to help is welcome to sign up, but participants are asked not to remain permanently attached to the project, since its purpose is short-term verification rather than ongoing computation.<ref name="instructions">{{Cite web |title=Instructions for alpha testers |url=https://boinc.berkeley.edu/wiki/Instructions_for_alpha_testers |publisher=University of California, Berkeley |access-date=2026-07-20}}</ref>

For tasks that specifically exercise file transfer, the project issues small workunits with large (4.5 MB) input and output files that require about one minute of <math>\text{CPU time}</math> to process, letting testers verify upload, download, and completion handling without needing to keep the client attached for long.<ref name="instructions" />

== History ==
BOINC itself was created by computer scientist [[wikipedia:David P. Anderson|David P. Anderson]], who had previously directed [[SETI@home]] beginning in 1998. Anderson wrote the first version of the BOINC client, server, and web code in late 2001 and early 2002, choosing C++ for the client and server and PHP for the web components, and arranged for the resulting code to be owned by the University of California and released under the [[wikipedia:GNU Lesser General Public License|GNU Lesser General Public License]].<ref name="history">{{Cite web |title=A brief history of BOINC |url=https://continuum-hypothesis.com/boinc_history.php |author=David P. Anderson |date=2022-01-26 |access-date=2026-07-20}}</ref>

In BOINC's earliest years, quality assurance was informal: a new client build would run on the developers' own machines for a day or two, and if no serious problems turned up it would simply be announced and released. This approach repeatedly failed, since bugs specific to first-time installs or uncommon configurations often did not surface until after a version had already reached the public. By 2004, Anderson concluded that BOINC needed systematic testing across a much wider "parameter space" of CPUs, GPUs, operating-system versions, drivers, and configuration options than the small development team could cover on their own.<ref name="history" />

The solution was to recruit a large pool of volunteer testers, define an explicit list of test cases covering installation, project attachment, and configuration changes, and have testers report pass/fail results through a web interface, producing a "test matrix" of tests against computer types. Once a version's matrix was filled in with positive results, it could be released with confidence. Anderson launched this as an '''Alpha Test Project''' and reported that the approach worked well, attracting a couple of hundred testers in its early years, although the number of consistently active testers dwindled over time as BOINC's volunteer base declined from later peaks.<ref name="history" /> Longtime BOINC developer Rom Walton was put in charge of day-to-day client testing on the project.<ref name="history" />

The project's server was originally hosted at <code>isaac.ssl.berkeley.edu/alpha</code>, alongside other Space Sciences Laboratory infrastructure, before later moving to its current home at <code>boinc.berkeley.edu/alpha</code>.<ref name="adminalpha">{{Cite web |title=AdminAlphaTest |url=https://github.com/BOINC/boinc/wiki/AdminAlphaTest |publisher=BOINC |access-date=2026-07-20}}</ref> Records from the project's own user database show accounts dating back to at least December 2004, consistent with its establishment earlier that year.<ref name="alphahome" />

== Purpose and methodology ==
[[File:BOINC account manager architecture.png|thumb|right|BOINC's client/server architecture separates the client, the manager, and the project server, the kind of modular design that made systematic alpha testing practical.]]

The rationale behind BOINC Alpha Test reflects a broader design philosophy behind BOINC: because developers cannot practically own and test every combination of hardware and software that volunteers might use, an absence of bug reports cannot be taken as an absence of bugs.<ref name="history" /> A dedicated testing project addresses this by turning testers' varied machines into an informal but wide-reaching test lab.

Testing proceeds in cycles. Periodically, usually every few weeks to a few months, the BOINC development team announces a new candidate client version on the '''boinc_alpha''' mailing list and asks testers to download and exercise it.<ref name="alphatesting">{{Cite web |title=Alpha testing |url=https://github.com/BOINC/boinc/wiki/Alpha-testing |publisher=BOINC |access-date=2026-07-20}}</ref> For each release, testers are asked to complete a set of "General" tests plus as many of the additional, more specialized tests as their time and hardware allow.<ref name="alphainstructions">{{Cite web |title=AlphaInstructions |url=https://github.com/BOINC/boinc/wiki/AlphaInstructions |publisher=BOINC |access-date=2026-07-20}}</ref> Results, including negative ones, are submitted through the project's web-based reporting interface, and testers are encouraged to file detailed bug reports for anything unexpected, either to the BOINC bug database or directly to the relevant developer.<ref name="instructions" />

Server-side, the testing schedule is configured through a file that lists each supported hardware/OS combination along with a "target number" of test reports needed for adequate coverage; more popular platforms are assigned higher targets. As bugs are found and fixed during a testing cycle, the BOINC team can progressively narrow the set of tests and platforms still required for the remaining sub-releases.<ref name="adminalpha" />

As of {{Start date and age|2026|07|20}}, the project's home page reported the version currently under test, the list of platforms being covered, which spans Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android, and an overall completion percentage indicating how much of the test matrix had been filled in.<ref name="alphahome" /> Top testers for the preceding thirty days are listed publicly, a small nod to the volunteers who keep the process running.<ref name="alphahome" />

== Related tools and satellite projects ==
Because scheduling and work-fetch bugs are notoriously hard to reproduce on a machine the developer cannot access, the BOINC team also built the '''BOINC Client Emulator''', a companion tool linked from the Alpha Test site that lets a tester's uploaded client state files be replayed and studied on a developer's own computer, reproducing scheduling problems without a live back-and-forth over email.<ref name="alphahome" /><ref name="history" />

BOINC Alpha Test has also been associated over the years with a small family of throwaway internal test projects used for narrower experiments. '''Cunning Plan''' was used to test the account-creation process without risking disruption to the Alpha Test project itself,<ref name="instructions" /> while a project called '''Sleeper''' served as a further test bed for the Alpha Test infrastructure.<ref name="synergylist">{{Cite web |title=BOINC projects |url=https://boincsynergy.ca/wiki/BOINC_projects |publisher=BOINC Synergy |access-date=2026-07-20}}</ref> Testers have also historically been directed to use ordinary science projects such as [[SETI@home]], [[Einstein@Home]], and [[Climateprediction.net]] for tests that fall outside the scope of the dedicated Alpha Test workunits.<ref name="instructions" />

== Significance ==
BOINC Alpha Test predates almost every science project running on the platform today; among the very first BOINC-based science projects to launch was [[Predictor@home]], developed by Michela Taufer at the Scripps Research Institute in mid-2004, just months after the Alpha Test project itself began operating.<ref name="history" /> The testing discipline it introduced, recruiting a volunteer pool broad enough to substitute for hardware the development team could never own itself, became one of BOINC's more durable pieces of process, continuing in essentially the same form for more than two decades even as the surrounding BOINC ecosystem has changed considerably.<ref name="history" />

'''A BOINC project''' is a website and associated server set up by an individual or group to distribute applications to [https://boinc.berkeley.edu/ BOINC] volunteer computing devices. Those devices deliberately attach to receive, process, and return results for further scientific research — at no cost to the researcher, and no cost to the volunteer beyond electricity.

''BOINC'' stands for '''Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing''', developed at the University of California, Berkeley. Any researcher can create a BOINC project; any person can donate their idle CPU or GPU time to one.

| The new versions allow for different motif types which are different models for how a binding site could look. One is palindromic, where the nucleotides in the beginning of the model have their complement at the end of the model. The other model type is reverse complement, which doesn't assume the model to be palindromic, but looks for either the forward or reverse version of the model.

'''[https://web.archive.org/http://chess.qugate.org/ Chess@Home]''' was a short-lived [[BOINC]] volunteer computing project that set out to build a large, machine-evaluated database of chess positions as the first step toward training a classifier able to estimate which side stood better in a given position. The project was run from chess.qugate.org and was maintained by Michal Stanislaw Wojcik, a Polish BOINC community member, with early technical support from the Poland BOINC Foundation.<ref name="about">{{Cite web |title=About Chess@Home |url=http://chess.qugate.org/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140208000329/http://chess.qugate.org/ |archive-date=8 February 2014 |website=Chess@Home |access-date=19 July 2026 |url-status=dead}}</ref>

== Overview ==
The project's stated goal was to construct a chess winning-position classifier, or score estimator, built on simple positional features such as material count, the number of squares controlled by each side, and the number of checks available in a position. The first phase aimed to establish how well relatively cheap evaluation methods and standard data mining techniques, including logistic regression, k-nearest neighbors, support vector machines, and decision trees, could perform at this task. A longer-term goal was to apply more advanced machine learning methods to approximate different levels of human chess proficiency, by tuning a search heuristic between more and less thoroughly trained states.<ref name="about" />

To build the underlying dataset, the project first assembled a large collection of positions taken from games played by titled players, and planned to add further positions from weaker amateur games sourced from the [[wikipedia:Free Internet Chess Server|Free Internet Chess Server]] games archive, in order to represent a wider range of playing strength.<ref name="about" /> Each position was to be evaluated by [[wikipedia:Stockfish (chess)|Stockfish]], an open-source chess engine, with the resulting centipawn score (or mate distance, where a forced mate was found) and best move recorded for later analysis.<ref name="about" />

== Scale of the task ==
The project's own estimate, published on its about page, illustrates why the work needed distributed computing rather than a single machine. Evaluating one position to a fixed node budget of five million nodes took roughly five to six seconds on a single core running at approximately 2.5 GHz. Applied across an initial collection of 25 million positions, that works out to:

<math>6\ \text{s} \times 25{,}000{,}000 \approx 1.5 \times 10^{8}\ \text{s} \approx 41{,}666\ \text{hours} \approx 1{,}736\ \text{days}</math>

on one CPU core alone, and the project expected its full dataset, once amateur games were added, to grow to hundreds of millions of positions.<ref name="about" /> By the time of the 8 February 2014 snapshot of the project's homepage, volunteers had already evaluated 30,301,792 positions.<ref name="about" />

== Technical details ==
The BOINC client application distributed to volunteers was named chessathome, for example ''chessathome_1_windows_intelx86.exe'' on Windows, and served as a wrapper that launched the bundled Stockfish engine to perform the actual position evaluation; Stockfish's search was the sole consumer of CPU time on the volunteer's machine.<ref name="about" /> Completed tasks were credited at 9 BOINC credits each, corresponding to roughly ten minutes of work on a 2.5 GHz core.<ref name="about" />

== History ==
Chess@Home was announced to the BOINC community on 10 January 2014, described in the announcement simply as a new project related to the game of chess.<ref name="announce">{{Cite web |title=Thread 'Chess@Home' |url=https://boinc.n-helix.com/forum_thread.php?id=8842 |website=BOINC combined message boards |access-date=19 July 2026}}</ref> Its administrator described himself as new to running a BOINC project and credited Krzysztof Piszczek of the Poland BOINC Foundation as a mentor who helped set up the project's server.<ref name="about" />

The project's active life was brief. By 17 March 2014, a volunteer reported that the project had been offline for more than a week; another community member confirmed that the project had finished, adding that the administrator himself was not certain whether further work would be issued in the future.<ref name="announce" /> No further tasks were subsequently issued, and the project is understood within the BOINC community to have concluded at that point.

=== Relationship to Chess960@home ===
Despite the similar name, Chess@Home was not connected to the earlier, unrelated project [[Chess960@home]]. When Chess@Home was announced, a member of the BOINCstats community asked directly whether the two were related; the response confirmed they were separate projects, and that permission to use a similarly chess-themed name had been sought beforehand.<ref name="boincstats">{{Cite web |title=Forum::New projects::Chess@Home |url=https://www.boincstats.com/forum/11/9016,1 |website=BOINCstats/BAM! |access-date=19 July 2026}}</ref>

'''[https://web.archive.org/web/20090328144612/https://www.chess960athome.org/alpha/ Chess960@home]''' (also styled '''Chess960athome''') was a [[BOINC]] volunteer computing project that studied [[wikipedia:Chess960|Chess960]], also known as Fischer Random Chess, a chess variant invented by former world chess champion [[wikipedia:Bobby Fischer|Bobby Fischer]]. Rather than searching for a scientific result in the physical sciences, Chess960@home asked volunteers' idle computers to play out and record large numbers of Chess960 games, with the stated goal of assembling a database large enough to begin identifying sound opening moves for a game whose starting position is chosen at random from 960 possibilities.<ref name="boincitaly">{{Cite web |title=Chess960@home |url=https://www.boincitaly.org/progetti/progetti-boinc/progetti-chiusi-o-terminati/chess960home.html?showall=1 |website=BOINC.Italy |access-date=19 July 2026}}</ref><ref name="oldprojects">{{Cite web |title=old_projects.inc |url=https://github.com/BOINC/boinc-site/blob/master/old_projects.inc |website=BOINC/boinc-site, GitHub |publisher=University of California, Berkeley |access-date=19 July 2026}}</ref>

== Overview ==
Chess960 replaces the fixed classical chess starting position with one of 960 legal arrangements of the back-rank pieces, subject to the rule that a player's bishops must occupy opposite-colored squares and that the king must stand between the two rooks.<ref name="oldprojects" /> The number of legal arrangements follows directly from these constraints:

<math>4 \times 4 \times 6 \times \binom{5}{2} = 960</math>

Four choices exist for a light-squared bishop and four for a dark-squared bishop, the queen may then occupy any of the six remaining squares, and the two identical knights fill two of the five squares left over, with the king and the two rooks filling the final three squares in a single valid order.

Because the starting position changes with every game, memorized classical opening theory is of little use in Chess960. Chess960@home's project idea was to let the [[BOINC]] client generate and play through very large numbers of these positions on volunteers' computers, accumulating a database of games that could then be analyzed for patterns of sound early play, an early attempt to bootstrap something resembling opening theory for the variant using distributed computing rather than manual analysis by strong players.<ref name="boincitaly" />

== History ==
Chess960@home's [[Wikidata]] entry records its inception as 20 March 2006, with the official website listed as chess960athome.org.<ref name="wikidata">{{Cite web |title=Chess960@home |url=https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q3667263 |website=Wikidata |access-date=19 July 2026}}</ref> The project was listed among candidate and alpha-stage projects on BOINC's own project pages, described there simply as a study of "Chess-960.org", categorized under game study.<ref name="oldprojects" /> For much of its life the project ran from an "alpha" branch of its website, and volunteer communities such as BOINC.Italy directed participants to attach to it at chess960athome.org/alpha/ rather than the plain domain.<ref name="boincitalyforum">{{Cite web |title=[Thread Ufficiale] Chess960@home |url=https://www.boincitaly.org/forum/chiusi/43315-thread-ufficiale-chess960-home.html |website=BOINC.Italy |access-date=19 July 2026}}</ref>

The project found an audience within established BOINC volunteer communities; members of groups such as the UK BOINC Team listed Chess960@Home among the projects they contributed to alongside more established efforts like [[Einstein@Home]] and [[SETI@home]].<ref name="bam">{{Cite web |title=Profiles |url=https://boincstats.com/en/page/profiles/user/!/Detai |website=BOINCstats/BAM! |access-date=19 July 2026}}</ref>

=== Decline ===
Volunteer reviewers writing in 2010 noted that the project's official forum saw an almost total absence of the administrators, leaving participants with little information about the state of the underlying research, even as the project continued to send out work intermittently.<ref name="boincitaly" /> According to the same community record, this pattern continued until February 2012, after which no further workunits were generated and the site displayed only a message indicating the project remained in a testing phase.<ref name="boincitaly" />

The chess960athome.org website nonetheless stayed reachable for many years afterward. As late as its most recent recorded state, the homepage still described the project as being in a state of "productive tests" with account creation, workunit creation, and the scheduler all nominally enabled, while reporting zero units queued to crunch and listing a recent-activity figure of 7,501 users and 211 active hosts.<ref name="homepage">{{Cite web |title=Chess960athome |url=https://www.chess960athome.org/ |website=Chess960athome |access-date=19 July 2026}}</ref> News posts on the site trailed off across the following decade; the most recent, dated 10 January 2022, thanked a new advertising sponsor for helping cover the cost of server backups.<ref name="homepage" />

=== Relationship to a later, unrelated project ===
Chess960@home should not be confused with a later, independently created BOINC project also concerned with chess, [[Chess@Home]] (chess.qugate.org), which aimed to construct a chess-position classifier. When the newer project was announced in 2014, a BOINCstats forum participant asked whether it had any connection to "the old Chess960@Home"; the project's founder confirmed it did not, and that permission to use a similar name had been separately sought.<ref name="chessathome">{{Cite web |title=Forum::New projects::Chess@Home |url=https://www.boincstats.com/forum/11/9016,1 |website=BOINCstats/BAM! |access-date=19 July 2026}}</ref>

As late as its most recent recorded state, the homepage still described the project as being in a state of "productive tests" with account creation, workunit creation, and the scheduler all nominally enabled, while reporting zero units queued to crunch and listing a recent-activity figure of 7,501 users and 211 active hosts.<ref name="homepage">{{Cite web |title=Chess960athome |url=https://www.chess960athome.org/ |website=Chess960athome |access-date=19 July 2026}}</ref> News posts on the site trailed off across the following decade; the most recent, dated 10 January 2022, thanked a new advertising sponsor for helping cover the cost of server backups.<ref name="homepage" />

=== Relationship to a later, unrelated project ===
Chess960@home should not be confused with a later, independently created BOINC project also concerned with chess, Chess@Home (chess.qugate.org), which aimed to construct a chess-position classifier. When the newer project was announced in 2014, a BOINCstats forum participant asked whether it had any connection to "the old Chess960@Home"; the project's founder confirmed it did not, and that permission to use a similar name had been separately sought.<ref name="chessathome">{{Cite web |title=Forum::New projects::Chess@Home |url=https://www.boincstats.com/forum/11/9016,1 |website=BOINCstats/BAM! |access-date=19 July 2026}}</ref>
