DepSpid
Sun, 26 Oct 2008 --- Project closed
During the last two years, the project has made some big steps forward. However, it seems that every step forward has lead two steps backward. The list of things that need to be done has grown immense during this time. Ongoing technical problems combined with organizational and personal reasons have left only one conclusion: To close the project.

Genetic Life

The project was moved from 2008 up to 2010 to another server and changed the name to ga@home.

I finally have a server with a better connection configured. I've paused WU generation and will let results return before moving to this new server.

However, the old database could not assumed so all old work was lost (Source). Therefore this project is retired. Meanwhile also the new ga@home is offline, status unknown.

And some more:

Belgian Beer@Home

I would advise to detach machines and stop polling for the server status.

BRaTS@Home

Sorry to be a bit annoying with the error, but if you do not detach by mid-May, you will get a 404 error anyways. Sadly, "detatching" time has come.

Sudoku@Home (OLD)

Just the server is gone, and as the project is currently inactive (we don't
have software for the next step) it makes no difference.
Source

Final the project finished the 12 given numbers solution, higher numbers never attempted. Goal was find all solutions up to 16. Meanwhile, this now accomplish by sudoku@vtaiwan.

AQUA@home retired. Last Info by Aqua:

Dear volunteers,

Your contribution over the last 3 years to the AQUA@home project was critical for us to perform immense computations necessary for the advancement of our science and technology. We have published several scientific papers reporting the results of those computations, including our recent publication in Nature. We made sure to acknowledge your generous contributions in those papers, as your help was vital. At this time, however, we no longer have large computations requiring the computing power of AQUA@home. We therefore have come to the decision to shut down AQUA for the forseeable future. Thank-you again for the selfless devotion of your time, patience, and computing resources to our effort to progress the field of quantum computing.

Sincerely,
Neil Dickson
