1. Introduction

What is the DC Forum?

First of all: Welcome to the DC Forum!

The DC Forum is a special forum for various projects related to the BBR Distributed Computing Teams and/or specific projects and clients.

Handy utilities, great add-ons or a computing cluster for a team, it starts here in the DC Forum

In the future we hope to become THE place on the internet for 'Distributed Development' () so that all may ultimately benefit.

Who is the host of the Distributed Computing (DC) Forum?

The host of the DC Forum is sortofageek See Profile.

1.1 General Information

What are blades?

Blades can be considered any operational system and can be single or dual processor boards. The "blade" term was originally used to describe a system that ran in a cluster that booted off a central server. Several of BBR's Distributed Computing teams run blade systems build by their members. Here are some examples and threads with blade related information.

This Team Helix thread was about "blade farms" and here are some pictures of Foldy1 and Foldy2 from the Foldinator Project.

The picture below is one of parkut's See Profile systems and shows a well thought out, clean implementation of a blade system.

This is a thumbnail of the image, click to enlarge.

2. Current Projects

Regarding the projects:


In the DC Special Projects forum we're working on various projects. To give you a quick overview of what's happening you can find some information about the current projects listed in the next few sub-sections.

If a new project is started it is heavily recommended to add the name and a short description of the project to this FAQ.

3. Crunchenstein Project

What is the Crunchenstein Project?


The Crunchenstein is a project set up a number of dedicated machines to run the SETI@Home project for BBR Team Starfire.

All computers have been using the best of the best, including motherboard, CPU, RAM, Operating System, and of course, the CLI version of SETI@Home to get the most WUs out of the machine. The project is solely run and put together by some members of Team Starfire, and is not an officially recognized project of Broadbandreports.com.

All Crunchenstein articles are owned by Crunchenstein Association Members. For more information about the articles, go to the Association Articles section.

Does this project have a website?

Apparently not at this point in time.  If we get an update, it will be posted here.


4. Foldinator Project

What is the Foldinator Project?


The Foldinator Project has been established to support the cause of Team Helix and to have some fun while we are at it. Foldinator Project runs multiple systems to put to work on Folding@Home, the Distributed Computing project of Stanford University.

These "systems" are made up of so-called "blades"... with each blade being one IA based personal computer. These systems are built, configured, administered and hosted by team members. The WUs (Work Units) these blades turn out are credited to Team Helix under this project's name.

The Foldinator Project is made up of volunteers who donate either money or computer parts for one of these systems.

What is the Foldinator Project Association?


The Foldinator Project Association is an organization that has been established to oversee the operation of the FP systems and the management of all donations. This association provides FP members a voice in the current operation and, of course, the future direction of the Foldinator Project.

How Many Foldinator Systems Are There?

The goal of FP is to operate multiple Foldinator systems. We currently have over ten systems crunching away today. If you are interested in becoming an operator of a future Foldinator system or if you would like to donate to a future system, please stop by the Distributed Computing forum and post to get involved :-)

By-Laws

What is a Foldinator Project member and how do I become one?


A member of the Foldinator Project Association is anyone who has donated a computer part or money to the project.

Some members have donated either CPU's, hard drives, memory, etc. Other members have made a financial donation. The size or amount of your donation to the project is not important... what is important is wanting to join in and have some fun with us.

What can I donate and how do I donate?


You can donate personal computer components if there is a need for what you have. Foldinator Project members will help you decide if your component is really needed or what your financial donation could do for the project.

If you want to make a donation, there is a donation thread in the Distributed Computing Forum with a PayPal button in the first post or you can IM Sarah See Profile or one of the other Foldinator Project board members for more information on how to donate. You could make a financial donation by sending a check via 'snail mail'. Contact Sarah See Profile via IM to find out how to do that.

Who can host a Foldinator System and How?


Any FP association member is eligible to host a system. The hosts of FP systems are known as Operators. To become an Operator, you must be elected by the FP membership.

If you do become an Operator, you will have to donate your time to order, build, configure and administer the system. You will also be donating the physical space, internet access and electricity for the system you host.

We encourage anyone interested in hosting a system, or learning more about being an Operator, to post in the DC Projects forum.

5. Team Discovery Project Hope

What is Team Discovery Project Hope?

Team Discovery's Project Hope is run by the BBR Team Discovery distributed computing team.

The goal of this project is to design and build multi-processor machines that are headless client arrays known as "farms" to participate in two computational research projects; The Rothberg Institute For Childhood Diseases dedicated to finding a cure for children suffering from Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC) and WCG's (World Community Grid) Cancer projects

Does this project have a website?

Yes, you can find the Team Discovery Project Hope website here.

6. BOUNCE

What is project BOUNCE?


Project BOUNCE aims to create an Open Unified Network Computing Environment intended for existing and future Distributed Computing (DC) clients, but with unlimited possible uses. The open framework will allow for many current and future DC projects.

The BOUNCE client and interface will allow for remote browser based management of diskless & headless client arrays sometimes known as "farms". The key point to the project is to make the setup and maintenance of such an array such a simple a trivial task that a newcomer to Linux wouldn't hesitate to start using Linux.

The backbone of the project is initially based on Linux Mandrake and LTSP (Linux Terminal Server Project). The diskless, headless and video cardless design is implemented through Etherboot and PXE technologies. Although each of the pieces of the puzzle are in existence, our intent is to provide a framework for bringing all of these technologies together under one package that does not require the user to be an expert in any one of the technologies.

Current framework building blocks (Oct. 21th 2003):
Python - »:/www.python.org

Does this project have a website?


Yes, you can find the official project BOUNCE website at the following address:

http://project-bounce.sourceforge.net

Note (Oct. 21th 2003):

Unfortunately the website has not been updated for quite some time. I will try to change that before the end of the year! ;) --sf
