    <div style="text-align: left;"><strong>Description:</strong> The ABC conjecture involves abc-triples: positive integers a,b,c such that a+b=c, a &lt; b &lt; c, a,b,c have no common divisors and c &gt; rad(abc), the so-called radical of abc. The ABC conjecture says that there are only finitely many a,b,c such that log(c)/log(rad(abc)) &gt; h for any real h &gt; 1. The ABC conjecture is currently one of the greatest open problems in mathematics. If it is proven to be true, a lot of other open problems can be answered directly from it. The project is run by the Mathematical Institute of Leiden University in Germany</div><br>

    <strong>Why should I join?</strong><br>
    The ABC conjecture is one of the greatest open mathematical questions, one of the holy grails of mathematics. It will teach us something about our very own numbers. Furthermore, the application of ABC@home is tiny, secure and stable, we like to keep things simple.<br>

    Description: BURP aims to develop a publicly distributed system for rendering 3D animations.


    Currently this is a BETA project which means that certain restrictions apply.Not all uploaded sessions will actually be rendered right away - and sometimes you will not be able to contact the schedulers for short periods of time.
    Please note that this project is still in its testing phase and does not yet provide the security and stability of afull-blown BOINC project.

    Project Status: Active.


    Client Programs: The following Applications are supported by the project:

    Overview of Chess960@Home Project

    Published on 08-25-11 12:20 AM     Number of Views: 1862 


    Description: Chess960 is a young innovative chess variant. In Chess960, just before the start of every game, the initial configuration of the chess pieces is determined randomly, that means that the king, the queen, the rook, the bishop and the knight are not necessarily placed on the same home squares as in classical chess. Since a few years there are World Championsships taking place in "Chess Classic Mainz" event in August every year. GM Peter Svidler is the current Champion.In this project we try to combine Chess960 and the idea of distributed computing. With the BOINC software framework from the University of Berkeley exists a platform we want to use in this project to perform these computing intensive tasks. With it we want to give this chess variant some basics in theory of this game. We know the fascination of this chess variant is the incredible amount of variations. That will not change with this project but some guidelines seems to be useful in each starting position.


    Institution: Chess-960Org.


    Official Launch: 20-03-2006.

    Published on 08-25-11 12:35 AM     Number of Views: 1492 




    Description: Collatz Conjecture is a research project that uses Internet-connected computers to do research in mathematics, specifically testing the Collatz Conjecture also known as 3x+1 or HOTPO (half or triple plus one). You can participate by downloading and running a free program on your computer.

    Collatz Conjecture is based in Wood Dale, Illinois, USA and continues the work of the previous 3x+1@home BOINC project which ended in 2008. It can run on an nVidia GPU, ATI GPU, or CPU.

    Overview of DistrTGen Project

    Published on 08-25-11 05:40 AM     Number of Views: 1824 


    Description: The goal of FreeRainbowTables.com is to give the worlds security experts the best tools available for detecting weak hashes. This can help them to force the developers to use more secure methods of password protection.

    By distributing the generation of rainbow chains, we can generate HUGE rainbow tables that are able to crack longer passwords than ever seen before.
    Furthermore, we are also improving the rainbow table technology, making them even smaller and faster than rainbow tables found elsewhere, and the best thing is, those tables are freely available to download from our site by anyone!

    Description: Mersenne@home is a Polish science project in the field of Mathematics, Number Theory, which, thanks to BOINC platform, uses Internet-connected computers to search for Mersenne primes. Mersenne primes are a numbers of the form 2p-1 and, in the current stage of research, counts millions of digits. Therefore, high computing power is needed to verify their primality.
