the BOINC distibuted

Message 6953 in response to message 6952

the BOINC distibuted computing platform main site - http://boinc.berkeley.edu/
it mentions all the projects running under BOINC platform

for more distributed computing projects you can refer to http://distributedcomputing.info/
what i like about this last portal is its News and Articles section

just recently a 42nd mersenne prime number was found (it is now the largest known prime number) - one can read about it here

Here is something I found

Here is something I found somewhere else, not sure how valid it is, but pretty extensive:
