Hello all.

 

I Was wondering.  Is there any plans for a plugin/addon for the "Bionics"

 

For them that don't know what it is.  See here

Open-source software for volunteer computing and grid computing.

 

Use the idle time on your computer (Windows, Mac, or Linux) to cure diseases, study global warming, discover pulsars, and do many other types of scientific research. It's safe, secure, and easy

 

 

You can get "linux" downloads here.

I Just think it would be cool to have that CPU of mine that is not doing much really do some work at say a set level of %50 load.  That way I can help the world and still save power on my AMD 5000+ CPU.

 

Do you think it could be done?

 

Hope to hear from somebody soon.

Here's a thread about running folding@home on a server:

I'm not sure if anything came of it.  I agree that a nice unRAID add-on package would make it much more attractive for people to put in the effort to contribute to grid computing projects.

I Was looking for info about unRaid 5.  That is why I posted here.  But I shall go and have a read ;-)

This should be fairly easy to do for 5.0 but I do not want to attempt anything until 5.0 is final and stable.

Oh,  I Agree.  No point until 5 is out the door.  That is why I ask if there was any plans.  Maybe a nice DEV will take up the challenge (hint hint).

What about Sleep@Home ??

Sleep is for the weak  ;-)

Did you ever get it running? It's really not hard to get working using the command line. I've been running World Community Grid stuff since March I guess looking back at that old thread. If you have any issues just ask and I'll try to help.
