If you poke around the RC5 page, there is (or was) a page with links to
other distributed computing projects, includeing some that looked to me
quite nifty: finding abelian (whatever they are if I spelled it right)
groups (which I suppose are of interest to number theorists), other mathy
things, and SETA at home, which struck me as something of a pulicity stunt
but cool nonetheless, where you sign your computer up and it gets fed data
from a listening station which you machine then performs Fourier transform
on and looks for all kinds of complicated signals with internal phase
drift and everything, which I guess makes it enough of a computing job
that the network can keep up (but they must have a pretty flashy central
server).

Subject: [oclug] Distributed Computing effort(s)

I'd like to get involved in some kind of distributed computing effort to
chew up the idle cycles of my CPU... I'm looked at distributed.net and
gone over the list, but there were some not listed there I heard spoken
about on the list awhile ago.
I'm not interested in spinning my system's wheels (so to speak) on the RCS
now. I was involved for the previous attack on it, and would like to move
on to something else...
The one that most interests me right now I beleive was (I think it was our
good Doctor even who mentioned it, although I could be wrong) aiding with
stellar traces (or something to do with the stars anyway)... I did not see
this one on distributed.net (they seem to only have the various encrytion
attacks right now)

I was wondering if anyone on this list had heard of such a thing. If
so, please contact me. I will of course pass on the information to the
original poster. I'm crossposting to this list because I am very
curious, and I figure a wider readership may be able to help more.
