To those interested in physics and looking for a project to support...
The guys at CERN have launched a revamped distributed physics simulator on BOINC. In years past the distributed computing model had a prohibitivly slow turn around time for initial LCH test results, so they prefered to do simulations in-house. Now that the LHC has been up and running for some time, they are getting into routein experiments, and are sitting on petabytes of data that need to be crunched, and so are making some of the work available to the public...
