Synecdoche

[BF]

Has anyone played around with this?  Don't have the time myself at the moment..

From their website:

Synecdoche is a platform for distributed computing grids. Applications for Synecdoche include volunteer computing projects, and virtual supercomputing for universities and research organisations.

Synecdoche is a fork of Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing (BOINC). The goals of the fork are to:

   * Remain compatible with BOINC
   * Provide better usability
   * Work on bugs and features ignored by BOINC
   * Maintain stable releases

D/L'ed it: OK - installed it on one machine, a WinXP32 on a P4D 3.2Mhz: OK - Started it: OK - First impressions? a better UI than BOINC; remembers e-mail addy for additional "attach to" projects - now monitoring its performance with just one project, Prime.

They have that fixed now.
