Mission
The mission of the Computing for Sustainable Water project is to study the effects of human activity on a large watershed and gain deeper insights into what actions can lead to restoration, health and sustainability of this important water resource. The extensive computing power of World Community Grid will be used to perform millions of computer simulations to better understand the effects that result from a variety of human activity patterns in the Chesapeake Bay area. The researchers hope to be able to apply what is learned from this project across the globe to other regions which face challenges of sustainable water.
Attention une unite prend 300mo de RAM environ.
On est gate en ce moment niveau WCG ! (Say No to Schistosoma, Drug Search for Leishmaniasis, GO Fight Against Malaria et maintenant Computing for Sustainable Water)
Greetings everyone!
We are starting a new beta test which is going to test the 64 bit version of the application. We are going to send out 5,000 work units which will go out to both the 64 bit and 32 bit version. 64bit version of CFSW will show up as version 6.12 for the Beta.
Thanks,
-Uplinger
Une application en 64 bits est en test sur ce projet...:jap:

World Community Grid is pleased to announce, that thanks to the generous contribution of computing power from our members, the Computing for Sustainable Water (http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/research/cfsw/overview.do) project is concluding.
The Computing for Sustainable Water project was launched on April 17, 2012. While it was active, World Community Grid members processed over 24 million results which required nearly 4,200 years of computing power. This work would have taken about 90 years of time using the computing resources available to the researchers at the University of Virginia (http://www.faculty.virginia.edu/CFSW/). Using World Community Grid, this research was completed in less than 6 months.
The next step for the scientists is to analyze the results of this project. They hope to discover which public policies might affect watershed health, publish these findings and possibly apply them to other important watersheds around the world.
You may read about these plans in this forum post (http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/forums/wcg/viewthread_thread,33880) by Dr. Gerard P. Learmonth, Sr., lead researcher on the Computing for Sustainable Water project.
If you contributed your runtime to the Computing for Sustainable Water research project, the staff at the University of Virginia, USA wish to express their sincere gratitude to you.
We still need your help with the other active research projects (http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/research/viewAllProjects.do) running on World Community Grid! All of these important projects need your computer time. If you had chosen to contribute only to the Computing for Sustainable Water project, please go to your My Projects page (https://secure.worldcommunitygrid.org/ms/viewMyProjects.do) to review and update your project selection.
