NFS@home

Web site: https://escatter11.fullerton.edu/nfs/

NFS@Home is a research project that uses Internet-connected computers to do the lattice sieving step in the Number Field Sieve factorization of large integers. As a young school student, you gained your first experience at breaking an integer into prime factors, such as 15 = 3 * 5 or 35 = 5 * 7. NFS@Home is a continuation of that experience, only with integers that are hundreds of digits long.

Amicable Numbers

Web site: https://sech.me/boinc/Amicable/

'Amicable numbers' are pairs where the sum of the proper divisors of each is equal to the other number. The goal of this project is to collect all amicable numbers up to a very large limit.

Asteroids@home

Web site: http://asteroidsathome.net/boinc/

The aim of the project is to derive shapes and spin for a significant part of the asteroid population. As input data, we use any asteroid photometry that is available. The results are asteroid convex shape models with the direction of the spin axis and the rotation period.

Einstein@home

Web site: https://einstein.phys.uwm.edu/

Einstein@Home uses your computer's idle time to search for weak astrophysical signals from spinning neutron stars (often called pulsars) using data from the LIGO gravitational-wave detectors, the Arecibo radio telescope, and the Fermi gamma-ray satellite.

Rosetta@home

Web site: https://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/

Determine the 3-dimensional shapes of proteins in research that may ultimately lead to finding cures for some major human diseases. By running Rosetta@home you will help us speed up and extend our research in ways we couldn't possibly attempt without your help. You will also be helping our efforts at designing new proteins to fight diseases such as COVID-19, HIV, malaria, cancer, and Alzheimer's

YAFU

Web site: https://yafu.myfirewall.org/yafu/

YAFU's goal is to factor numbers of up to 149 digits which are needed to bring Aliquot Sequences to a size of at least 140.

RakeSearch

Web site: https://rake.boincfast.ru/rakesearch/

The enormous size of the diagonal Latin squares space makes it unfeasible to enumerate all its objects straightforwardly in reasonable time. So, in order to discover the structure of this space, sophisticated search methods are needed. In RakeSearch project, we implement an application that picks up separate pairs of mutually orthogonal DLSs, which allows to reconstruct full graphs of their orthogonality.

SIDock@home

Web site: https://www.sidock.si/sidock/

Study drugs to fight SARS-CoV-2

Keywords: Biology and Medicine · Disease research · COVID-19 and virology · Europe · Russia


NumberFields@home

Web site: https://numberfields.asu.edu/NumberFields/

NumberFields@home searches for fields with special properties. The primary application of this research is in the realm of algebraic number theory. Number theorists can mine the data for interesting patterns to help them formulate conjectures about number fields. Ultimately, this research will lead to a deeper understanding of the profound properties of numbers, the basic building blocks of all mathematics.

Climateprediction.net

Web site: https://climateprediction.net/

Investigate the approximations that have to be made in state-of-the-art climate models. By running the model thousands of times we hope to find out how the model responds to slight tweaks to these approximations - slight enough to not make the approximations any less realistic. This will allow us to improve our understanding of how sensitive our models are to small changes and also to things like changes in carbon dioxide and the sulphur cycle. This will allow us to explore how climate may change in the next century under a wide range of different scenarios.
