We have added preliminary support for legacy applications that do not use the BOINC API (e.g. because their source code is not available). This feature will work with the next version (5.5) of the BOINC client software.我们初步增加了对不使用BOINC接口的老计算程序(比如源代码已经无法获取)的支持。此特性将在下一个版本的BOINC客户端软件中可用。

BOINC's CPU scheduler has become smarter: it now waits until an application has checkpointed to preempt it and remove it from memory. This can save significant CPU time, especially on multiprocessors. Technical details are here. The new scheduler is in the development version of BOINC, and will appear in the 5.6 release. Volunteer developer John McLeod VII was the driving force behind the new scheduler.BOINC的CPU调度已经更为智能了:它现在会等到计算程序存盘并通知它后才将计算程序移出内存。这可以节约大量的CPU时间,特别是在多处理器的机器上。详细的技术细节可以看这里:http://boinc.berkeley.edu/sched.php
该特性目前只存在于开发版本的BOINC,将出现在5.6版本的客户端。新调度算法的想法来自于志愿开发人员John McLeod VII。// 赞一下开放平台的好处:)

Pav Lucistnik has developed boinc_curses, a Unix console-based program (like 'top') to monitor and control BOINC.Pav Lucistnik 开发了一个 Unix 下类似 top 的命令行程序 boinc_curses,可用来监控和控制 BOINC。
http://www.oook.cz/bsd/boinc_curses/ 发现BOINCstats登录BAM用(记住我的登录)后下次再打开该页面时还没有记住登录,每次都得重来,而boincsynergy就没这问题。 哦,我用这个没问题的 我用BAM也不用再次登录了,每次打开都有。 ++u 今天再次打开BAM,终于能记住登录了,真奇怪。

The TANPAKU project, based at the Tokyo University of Science, is open for participation. TANPAKU (from the Japanese word tanpaku-shitsu, meaning 'protein') studies protein structure and function using a novel method called Brownian Dynamics.Tanpaku的项目,总部设在东京大学,均可参加. Tanpaku(日本文字Tanpaku-Shitsu,即'蛋白质')蛋白质的结构和功能研究的新方法,利用布朗动力学.
=====================
小日本开发新项目了,看这日子选的。。。
反正我是不算! 项目倒是早就出来了,不过居然正好这一天在boinc上发布公告,不管有意无意,绝对不参加了:(
