At this time, there are just over 2.5-million BONIC users. Of these, 10% are active at any given moment. The total average floating point operations per second of all BONIC projects in late February 2013 was 8,723 TeraFLOPS. How fast is that? Summed up, that would make the global BONIC cluster the world's 4th fastest supercomputer. Now, that's fast. Of course, its throughput is far slower than any "real" supercomputer, but it gives you an idea of just how powerful distributed computing really is.
现在BOINC已有超过250万名用户。在他们之中有10%的人在任何给定的时间内活跃着。在2013年二月的晚些时候,BOINC上所有项目每秒的平均浮点运算速度为8,723万亿次。那到底有多快?总的来说,那将会让全球的BOINC计算集群成为世界排名第四的超级计算机。现在来说,那的确很快。当然,它的数据吞吐量远低于任何真正意义上的超级计算机,但是这个比方能让你意识到分布式计算究竟有多么强大。
Today, there are about 50 BONIC projects. These include: Malaria Control, which tries to work out the best prevention methods for controlling this tropical disease; SIXTRACK, which runs particle acceleration simulations for CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC); and the Quake-Catcher Network, which is designed to use PCs, with the appropriate sensors, to monitor earthquakes around the world.
今天,BOINC上拥有大约50个项目。它们包括:Malaria Control,这是一个试图找到最好的预防并控制疟疾这一热带疾病方法的计算项目;SIXTRACK则是一个为欧洲核子研究中心大型强子对撞机(LHC)而模拟粒子加速的项目;而Quake-Catcher Network是利用拥有合适传感器的电脑来监测全球地震的项目。
