A CPU task from this project takes 16-18 hours on a Pentium 4 2.40GHZ. The same task takes 4 minutes in an ATi GPU I think they should withdraw their CPU app.

When transfered down, each unit is typically 135 hours on my iMac - that's over 4 and a half DAYS, folks... along with a pointlessly accelerated due date not much longer than that, which forces it into immediate 'emergency' run mode and hogs my machine. If an error occurs, you lose ALL that time - totally unacceptable. Hey, not everyone has a super computer on their desk. NO work unit should EVER take more than half a day to complete. If 'management' would slim these units down (by a factor of 10!), I would resume my participation.

Including Star Trek, 2001, Star Wars, etc. as well as the scientific models that aren't included in the base setup like Kepler and Cassini and stuff.

I wonder if they can be used to put stuff in the atmosphere that we would need. I wonder if the volcanoes on Mars can still erupt.

Unfortunately, their website goes down often and you bring up a good point. I will mark this project as "deadline passed" and move it into the previous projects section until I hear otherwise from the project coordinators.
