I've been doing a tiny amount of research on different projects, and while some interest me, I have no idea if they're handing out work or how dependable they are. It would be nice if someone could...

(1) Update the Sticky for new projects(not me), and

(2) Others could state opinions as to the status of newer projects and the availability of work for projects in general.

I can only comment on the ones I'm currently running:

World Community Grid- Seems stable enough; work has been available so far, but I've only been on it a few days.

Sztaki Desktop Grid- stable; currently no work if you are running the 5.x.x BOINC clients--They are working on upgrading to fix this.

Rosetta@Home- stable, always seems to heve work

Predictor@Home-stable, usually has work, with an occassional "dry spell"

Orbit @Home- not running right now, expecting to go back live early next year

LHC@Home- stable, occassional longish dry spells as they evaluate reults in order to prepare next work batch-- kind of a "feast or famine " with them.

Einstein@Home-stable, always seems to have work

CPDN- stable, has work if you don't mind the weeks/months to finish a workunit


Hope this helps some.
