BOINC lets you help cutting-edge science research using your computer. The BOINC app, running on your computer, downloads scientific computing jobs and runs them invisibly in the background. It's easy and safe.
About 30 science projects use BOINC. They investigate diseases, study climate change, discover pulsars, and do many other types of scientific research.
The BOINC and Science United projects are located at the University of California, Berkeley and are supported by the National Science Foundation.

[DENIS@Home] Status of the project // Estado del proyecto

Dear Volunteers,

As you may have noticed, the task hiatus has extended longer than we would have liked. I apologize for not writing sooner, as I was hoping we could launch something earlier. However, given our current workload and the steps required for the new simulations, there will be no new tasks at least until the end of February.

I apologize for this decrease in activity; we will return as soon as possible.

Sincerely,
Jesús.

===============================================================

Estimados voluntarios:
Como habéis podido comprobar, el parón de tareas se ha extendido más de lo que nos habría gustado. Disculpad que no haya escrito antes porque esperaba que pudieramos lanzar algo antes, pero vista la carga de trabajo que tenemos y los pasos que requieren las nuevas simulaciones, no habrá nuevas tareas por lo menos hasta finales de febrero.

Disculpad esta bajada de actividad, volveremos lo antes posible.

Atentamente,
Jesús.
