This is a Volunteer Computing team for users with AMD processors. The site used to have links, an arcade and other features, but recently it has only had forums.
This is Bill Velek's effort to improve education for children regarding the importance of grid computing. He is the same person behind Bill Velek's World Community Grid Page.
These sites take advantage of the XML news feeds from the BOINC projects, creating dynamic environments with fresh news and stats on a daily basis.
The DZ Zone is a simple, easy-to-use site that allows users to view information about distributed computing, see categorized links, and post in forums.
This site gives you the ability to create a graphic that displays your VC statistics. You can strut your stuff by using the graphic as your signature in forums.
Grid Café is a fun but out-of-date site that gives an introduction and a background to VC. It has been professionally developed by the people at CERN. This site also mixes in more technical information about grid computing on a non-end user level which may interest some of you out there with cone shaped heads. The ultimate purpose of this site is to create awareness of CERN's upcoming need for VC, distributed storage, and other grid technologies.
Grid Republic makes it easy for inexperienced users to join Volunteer Computing projects; the web site has a simple click-and-run interface. The design is a nice break from the bland appearance of many BOINC project home pages. GridRepublic was developed in collaboration with the BOINC team.
This site contains loads of insightful material discussing the merits of different projects based on their possible value for human kind, if they are not-for-profit, if they are run efficiently and securely, and whether or not their results are made available to the public. The author lists many projects then details his likes and dislikes of each. Opinions are given on the projects along with reasons for each opinion.
The UK BOINC team is focused exclusively on projects using the University of Berkeley's BOINC software. Tim, the team's founder, invites anyone interested to join their team.
Wikipedia is a type of web site that users can edit themselves. This type of philosophy has led to a surprisingly detailed and accurate (usually) source of information on almost any topic imaginable. Therefore, it is not surprising that Wikipedia has a page dedicated to distributed/volunteer computing. You can view the information here and even update if you know something the other authors do not.
