Project Summary
yoyo@home brings existing distributed computing projects to the Boinc world using the Boinc Wrapper technology.
yoyo@home is currently running the following sub-projects:

ECM is a program for Elliptic Curve Factorization which is used by a couple of projects to find factors for different kind of numbers.
 
Muon simulates and designs parts of a particle accelerator. You are simulating the part of the process where the proton beam hits the target rod and causes pions to be emitted, which decay into muons.
 
Evolution@home represents the first and so far only distributed computing project addressing evolutionary research. It simulates different types of populations and focuses on the analysis of human mitochondrial DNA. Read the original Evolution@home website for more information. 
the distributed.net client and runs OGR work units. This project searches for the shortest Optimal Golumb Ruler of the length 27. Some virus scanner false detect the client as trojan (list of known false detections).
