The following updates are from the distributedcomputing.info website
( http://distributedcomputing.info/ ). These updates cover public distributed
computing projects (projects in which anyone can participate).

December 16, 2004

- ( http://distributedcomputing.info/ap-science.html#lifemapper ) Lifemapper
will end as a distributed computing project some time around January 1.
There is not enough new museum data for the project to process. In the
future the project will use a computing cluster at the University of Kansas
to process new data.

- the ( http://distributedcomputing.info/ap-math.html#fermatsearch )
Distributed Search for Fermat Number Divisors found another factor of a
Fermat number, 211 * 2^287,388 + 1 divides F287,384, on December 13

- the ( http://distributedcomputing.info/ap-math.html#15k2n1 ) 15k Prime
Search found prime 794977755 * 2^224133 - 1 on December 14

- ( http://distributedcomputing.info/ap-science.html#cpdn )
climateprediction.net has completed 50,000 runs as of December 14

- an update to version 7.1 of Yves Gallot's
( http://www.utm.edu/research/primes/programs/gallot/ ) proth.exe client is
available as of December 10. This client is used in

Search and other projects.

- ( http://distributedcomputing.info/ap-math.html#rieselsieve ) Riesel Sieve
has some new features on its stats pages as of yesterday, and is looking
for PHP programmers who would like to help it create stats charts and graphs

- a new version of the Rosetta core for the
( http://distributedcomputing.info/ap-lsciences.html#proteome ) Human
Proteome Folding client, which allocates 200 MB of RAM instead of 300 MB
and uses 25 MB of RAM instead of 70 MB, should be available soon
