Can someone tell me if there are any other projects dealing with astronomical science other than SETI@home and Einstein@Home? If someone knows the answer to this question would you also post the links and names of the others?

Thank you that was very helpful... Don't know why I just didn't go there in the first place... :-\

I really like to research what my computer(s) is going to be computing before I just randomly start attaching projects...

Well, if you go yo the Grenoble BOINC workshop, which is being videotaped and put online on the BOINC home page you will hear many of the project leaders.

I've just seen the presentation of prof.Bruce Allen, director of Einstein@home, at the Grenoble BOINC Workshop. His slides were difficult to read, in contrast to those of David Anderson who spoke yesterday, but I was able to understand two novelties. First, Einstein@home is going to monitor binary neutron star systems identified by their radio emission (a picture of Arecibo was shown); second, the Albert Einstein Institute at Hannover is cooperating with NVidia in order to use graphics boards GPUs to increase computing power, as Folding@home has done with astonishing results.

I think that the question of more computing power at BOINC and SETI in particular should follow the path of using the Gaming consoles --XBOX, WII and such. The stated computing power of these multiple CPU machines is awesome and the cost far less than most mainline home computers. Grid computing has been done on these machines but not SETI as far as I know. Porting LINUX, UNIX, Windows or the MAC OS to these platforms might make someone a good business and allow insanely good animationand graphics to creep into mainstram desktop computing.

I am also thinking that 3-D TV could follow on--I would love to work on strategies and standards for this next generation of the march of television towards enhanced reality.

I don't do any gaming but it seems to me that the fortune of the CELL processor in Folding@home was due to the fact that Sony included the Folding@home client in the PS3 basic software, But now GPUs are overtaking it in Folding@home statistics.

I just watched a David Anderson talk in Grenoble. He says to developers: go GPU and CUDA, a GPU can be 50 times faster than a CPU.

I have put a question to the QMC@home developers and they told me that they are preparing a GPU version of their application but it won't be ready until next year. So both Einstein@home and QMC@home are going on the GPU way. Let's hope.
