My share allocation at the moment is pretty random. I have the following projects, with the following shares:
uFluids 300 25%
LHC@Home 100 8.33%
Predictor@Home 100 8.33%
BOINC SIMAP 50 4.17%
Rosetta@Home 400 33.33%
Einstein@Home 200 16.67%
Quantum Monte Carlo@Home 50
My thinking is that QMC, which studies the mathematical modeling of subatomic systems, assuming it only has a small number of users, might be the one that, relative to other projects, needs the most computing power.
The third to the fifth from the top were joined on a whim, I don't even pretend to understand the differences between the three.
Einstein@Home is, in my opinion, on the cutting edge of science. Even if we don't discover gravity waves, we've still gained a bit of knowledge from our attempts.
I'm really not sure about uFluids, I have no idea how much power they do, or don't, need, but I think it's a very cool project.
LHC is very obviously getting results and constantly tweaking their designs, although they are very often out of work. I'm not sure if this is because they have more than enough users or some other reason, like having to frequently analyze results.
If anyone has an opinion of what projects are in the biggest need of power, from an available power standpoint, as opposed to a Free-DC rankings standpoint, please post.
Thanks in advance.
