A significant step has been made towards integrating BOINC and Grid software: beginning with Condor version 6.7.17, Condor can be configured to run BOINC when it has no other work to perform. This capability is described in the Condor manual.

BOINC与网格软件的集成已取得重要进展：从6.7.17版本开始的Condor将可以配置成当没有任务可以执行的时候运行BOINC。详细说明请看Condor手册

Quantum Monte Carlo at Home announces the public release of the first chemistry BOINC project. This project studies the structure and reactivity of molecules using Quantum Chemistry, whose vastly complex equations require huge amounts of computing power.

第一个化学类的BOINC项目－QMC@home已经宣布正式运行。该项目使用量子化学方法研究分子的结构和化学反应，求解其复杂的方程式需要非常大的计算能力。

Tony/Knightrider/Chuggybus has created BOINC coinage. See the large and small versions. The Latin text means 'Berkeley open and shared resources'.

Tony/Knightrider/Chuggybus设计了BOINC货币：

图案中拉丁文的意思是“柏克利开放共享资源”。

不错不错,会不会发一点点啊

The Seasonal Attribution Project, a spin-off of Climateprediction.net, seeks to determine the extent to which extreme weather events are attributable to human-induced climate change. Its application is a high-resolution simulation of the world's climate, and is recommended only for computers with at least 1 GB of RAM, and a 2.4GHz Pentium or faster processor.

CPDN的衍生项目－Seasonal Attribution－的目的是研究在极端的气候事件中人类活动的因素。其计算程序对全世界的气候进行高精度的模拟，推荐至少有1G内存，处理器至少是2.4G的P4的计算机参加。

BOINCstats.com is one of several excellent web sites showing BOINC statistics. It's available in a number of languages, now including Chinese.

BOINCstats.com是非常不错的一个BOINC统计网站。网站提供了多种语言界面，现在中文也有了！

Windows users: new versions of Intellipoint and Intellitype are available from Microsoft. Upgrading to these may fix problems with the BOINC screensaver.

Windows用户注意：微软已经发布了新版本的Intellipoint和Intellitype。升级到新版本也许可以解决BOINC屏保的问题。

Thanks to the efforts of volunteers, BOINC is now officially part of the Debian Linux distribution. Packages for the BOINC core client and Manager are available for 13 different platforms (alpha, amd64, arm, hppa, i386, ia64, kfreebsd-i386, m68k, mips, mipsel, powerpc, s390 and sparc).


感谢志愿者们的努力，BOINC已经成力Debian的Linux发行版本的正式成员。BOINC的客户端核心和管理器的软件包在13个平台上均可用（alpha, amd64, arm, hppa, i386, ia64, kfreebsd-i386, m68k, mips, mipsel, powerpc, s390 and sparc）。


不错，Debian有了，是不是Ubuntu应该也会有了...

太好了,我的苹果机也可以用了.哈哈

We have developed an example application, together with project files and Makefiles for Windows, Mac, and Linux. The application demonstrates how to do checkpoint/restart and graphics. Projects can use this as a framework for building their own applications.

我们开发了一个平台应用的样例，包含Windows/Mac/Linux平台的项目文件和makefile文件。样例中演示了如何保存进度、重新运行及支持图形。项目组可以将其作为一个框架来构建他们自己的应用。

According to various statistics sites, over one million computers have now contributed processing power to BOINC projects. We're currently achieving a sustained processing rate of over 400 TeraFLOPS - the world's most powerful supercomputer by a wide margin. Congratulations and thanks to everyone!

根据各类统计网站上的数据，已经有超过一百万台计算机为基于BOINC的项目贡献了计算能力。我们目前总共拥有了超过400TFlops的处理能力，已经可以说是世界上最强大的超级计算机。祝贺并感谢所有人！

Version 5.4 of the BOINC client software has been released. This version lets you use account managers - special web sites that let you browse BOINC projects, attach/detach, change resource share and settings, all with point-and-click simplicity. Account managers are also great if you have several computers - you make changes on the web site, and they take effect on all of your computers. A couple of excellent account managers are nearly ready for use; stay tuned for details.

5.4版本的BOINC已经发布，主要的改进是对帐号管理器的支持。

The costs of electricity, both monetary and environmental, are increasing. Be aware of the energy considerations associated with BOINC and volunteer computing.

能源紧张。了解一下与BOINC和义务计算相关的能源问题吧：
http://boinc.berkeley.edu/energy.php

Set your general preferences to allow BOINC to compute while your computer is in use, and turn your computer off when it's not in use.

用计算机的时候设置成一直计算，不用的时候就关机。

Use your computer's power-management features to turn off your monitor when it's not in use, or to enter a low-power mode. A technical document about computer power management is available from Lawrence Berkeley Laboratories.

设置成不用计算机的时候自动关闭显示器或者进入低功耗模式等等。

If your electricy costs vary according to time of day, set your general preferences so that BOINC computes only during periods of low electrity costs.

如果电价是浮动的，最好在电价便宜的时间段进行计算。

BOINC has added preliminary support for 'low-latency' computing; e.g. delay bounds of minutes rather than days. This requires having clients contact the server frequently; we've added a mechanism that lets the server specify the connection interval. This will be available in the next release (5.6) of the client software. Projects that are interested in using this mechanism should contact us.

BOINC已经加入了对低延迟计算项目的初步支持。因为这些项目要求客户端频繁地与服务端进行通讯，我们引入了一个机制以允许服务端指定连接的时间间隔。该特性将在5.6的客户端软件中可用。对使用该机制有兴趣的项目可以与我们联系。
