| 37 | | * The Einstein@OSG project for LIGO at Caltech (http://www.opensciencegrid.org/Case_Study_-_Einstein_at_OSG). Initially developed at the AEI in Germany, our project enables BOINC to be executed in Grid Environments through Condor-G, Globus GRAM as well as GRAM-WS. In particular we are using ~40 grid resources on the Open Science Grid (http://www.opensciencegrid.org/) and ~20 grid resources on D-Grid (http://www.d-grid-gmbh.de/index.php?id=56&L=1) to contribute approx. 150,000 cpu hours daily to the Einstein@Home project since 2008. |

| 41 | | * Researchers at CERN have set up a system where submitted jobs are sent either to a BOINC project or to a GRAM job manager. They developed two utilities, `kill_wu` and `poll_wu`, to support this. They are in the boinc/tools directory. Contact Christian Søttrup (chrulle at fatbat.dk) for more info. |

| 43 | | * The [http://lattice.umiacs.umd.edu/ Lattice] project from the University of Maryland has developed a Grid system that integrates Globus, BOINC, and several other software components. |
| 44 | | |
| 45 | | * The [http://cbl-boinc-server2.cs.technion.ac.il/superlinkattechnion/ SuperLink] project from Technion University developed a system that dynamically assigns jobs to a central server, a local cluster, the EGEE grid, or a BOINC project, based on their estimated runtime. |
| 46 | | |
| 47 | | * The [http://mindmodeling.org/ MindModeling@Home] project has incorporated two United States Air Force Department of Defence LSF clusters and an additional Beowulf cluster in their beta project. Tools to facilitate this included: LSF submission scripts, control scripts to dynamically clean up potentially reschedule clients upon node time out and a multiple BOINC instance installer. |
