» Welcome to Team Picard Distributed Computing! |
 Thanks for stopping by Team Picard Distributed Computing and visiting!
We're a friendly bunch of people who got together as team competing in the SETI distributed computing project. Since then our community has grown, and we hang out in the lounge, tell our best jokes, we talk about computers and their problems in our hardware and software forums, and share our photos in the gallery with monthly contests.
At our heart, we are still a competitive Distributed Computing team. If you aren't familar, just ask and we will tell you everything you need to know. These days we compete in every BOINC project we can find including Climate Prediction.net (CPDN), Einstein@home, LHC@home, Predictor@home; Rosetta@home, and of course SETI@Home. That's not all though, we participate in independent projects too, like Drug Design and Optimization Lab (D2OL)™, or Folding@Home. There are many others too, and they almost all help researchers solve some of the toughest problems we face today.
Come on in, register and introduce yourself in the New Members area, we love the company, and can always use more help! This is a great place to spend some free time, we hope you stay a while.

Docking@Home is slowly back to normal. Due to storage sortage we will distribute a slightly lower amout of workunits but all the daemons are back

During this weekend the server will be taken down for O/S upgrade.
The old distro (Debian 4) will be replaced by Debian 5 amd64, since the older version has a limited support and probably slows down the hardware a bit.
It's hard to estimate how long the upgrade process will take, but I'd say that 8-12 hours minimum, because I have to do a complete backup first, so in the worst case I'll be able to rollback everything to the previous state.
