(Participation in this project is FREE. It makes use of unallocated resources within your PC and causes no detectable degradation of performance.)

One in four of us will at some time suffer from cancer. The high mortality rate, the suffering experienced by patients from the side effects of existing treatments, and the high costs of treatment all contribute to making cancer a priority for drug research.

By joining the United Devices network, you can have a direct benefit to cancer research. The UD software sits in the background on your PC and utilises any spare capacity to analyse data for cancer research projects. (It can also be set just to run when your computer is idle if you are concerned about your PC performance being compromised, but, in reality, there is very little overhaead and even running live you should see no degradation.)

Each individual computer analyzes a few molecules and then sends the results back over the Internet for further research. This project is anticipated to be the largest computational chemistry project ever undertaken and represents a genuine hope to find a better way to fight cancer. (You can also choose to work on anthrax or smallpox.)

Downloading the agent takes only a few minutes and once it is done it will function quite happily on its own. You can make adjustments to how and when it runs very easily. There is a very comprehensive FAQ section to help.

I have set up a MoneyAM BBers team so that we can pool our work and statistics. Why not join in and see how much of a difference MoneyAM can make?

PS Thanks to MegaBucks who suggested the idea of starting here.

No problems :-)

They've got major computer problems...

Same here. No contact for two days now... :-(

mine seems to be ticking along nicely....

SM

supermum - mine was also ticking along nicely, until it tried to call home today, and didn't get an answer.

So it could be that yours is still in the middle of a long job?

91% through a lignfit.. has taken 41 hours so far... so hopefully computer will be sorted when I am ready for contact..

SM

Sounds like they've just finished repairs - but still backing off.
Message on boards reads -

Dear Members,

"Grid.org is online. The hardware failure on our core DB machine has been repaired.

Because of the downtime, agents will have "backed-off", and we expect that there will be a flood of initial activity as agents reconnect. Therefore, please be patient during this initial flood of activity. Normal agent connectivity should resume soon.

Thank you very much for your patience and continued participation,
Jonathon"

I have now joined the "backing off" club... :-(

Hopefully soon means soon
SM

The whole site is down now...

Got my result away this morning and a new set of data downloaded....

Up and running again here !!!

meee tooooo!

Up and running after a three day database rebuild

Thanks to sealed, who joined the Team today, we now have 25 members!

Haven't been able to make ocntact for two days now. I assume it is a general problem.... :)

I had a problem ... but online and running again now ;-)

SM

Working OK for me now, have selected to do the Ligandfit Cancer project and not the Proteum Science stuff, that is where I had most of the problems. One project took 100 hours, system closed own on me and no points awarded to the team.
opto

Had to re-enter password, etc when I finally got back connected.

Must add my new laptop to proceedings as it's doing nothing at present.

How do you get a choice? I just get what I'm given!!! it chunters away in the background and I forget about it.
;-)

SM

supermum - If you logon and go to "My Device Manager" then choose "Device Profile", you will find the option there...
