Mission statement

(Updated to benefit sTrey !!)

This teams purpose is to amass huge numbers of WU credits, on a regular basis, for ALL the current BOINC projects.

Why is generating credits important?
It means that you are crunching as many work units as you can as provided to you, by the projects that you have joined. And by being rewarded with credits, means you are making a significant contribution to the projects.

So, in our view, having lots of credits is the same as making a big contribution to the projects.
And whatever YOUR motivation is (be it getting lots of credits to rise up the rankings or just crunching for projects you like to help) the net result is the same - you are voluntarily assisting the projects to hep them with their research.

We support the following projects:
Physical science:
BBC CCE, CPDN, Einstein, LHC, SAP, SETI, uFluids

Bio/Medical science:
Leiden Classical, Predictor, QMC@ home, Rosetta, SIMAP, WCG

Mathematical science:
PrimeGrid (was Message@home), Sztaki

Miscellaneous science:
BURP, Crash Collection, Lattice, Pirates, Resource Management, XtremLab

Various other projects are also BOINC compatible and are due online soon (see links on left).


We are not dedicated to just one project - rather we would hope that each member supports a number of projects by providing each with a percentage share of the members resources as they feel appropriate.
This approach also makes sense if a members primary project fails to issue any Work Units to crunch - some projects do not create enough work to be done, so there can be times when no work is issued and your PC is "spinning it's wheels" as with no work to do, your hardware is not contributing anything !!

Far better to have other projects, that can be utilised when your primary project is "down". This is why the BOINC software was developed - now you can set your resource share to whatever percentage for each project, and in the full knowledge that when your primary project has no work available, other projects can step in and utilise what would otherwise be wasted CPU cycles.

Of course if you specifically choose to only attach to one project only, then UK BOINC Team will still be the best team for you, as your single contribution will help us to maintain our position at the top of the rankings for EACH of the projects we are involved in.

We hope that the use of ALL of our spare CPU cycles will help all of these worthy BOINC-based projects. By joining our team, we can use our combined 'muscle' and help to provide the answers that the projects need to carry on their research. And we'll zoom up the team charts as our collective reward for our support.

Lastly, we are able to offer free support and guidance (via our team forum) to UBT members to help ensure that your PC is operating optimally.
