Grid.org was the largest and most ambitious public interest grid venture ever attempted, and thanks to Grid.org and its millions of members, dozens of similar global grid projects have been able to catch on and succeed by following its footsteps. Thank you to all our members! The excellent work Grid.org has done, both in contributing massive compute power to critical health research and in establishing this Internet-based model as beneficial, would not have been possible without the faith, efforts, and support of our millions of members worldwide. Thank you so much for your years of ongoing support! Please support other volunteer grid projects We encourage member to take your valuable resources to other projects of this kind that are ready and willing to accept you as new members.

Was there any "bad blood" between the two? Suppose it couldn't hurt to have someone from the project to ask for a linky...

As grid.org had a project using the Rosetta application to fold human proteins. ID: 40133 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

As grid.org had a project using the Rosetta application to fold human proteins. Which is the same program used over at WCG where the real work is done AND is linked to Rosetta@home here. Fro the past 1 or probably 2 years now, Grid.org have just been repeating Cancer work over and over and over and over. No wonder they eventually decided to stop it.... everyone had left, :D ;) Team mauisun.org ID: 40149 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote
