Do-it-yourself climate prediction
Climateprediction.net
Climateprediction.net is the world's largest experiment to try and produce a forecast of 21st century climate. To do this, the project asked hundreds of thousands of people around the world to download a climate model onto their computers. The climateprediction system uses distributed computing which makes use of the idle computing power of home PCs to run many thousands of climate models, subtly altering approximations of features, such as clouds, for each run. Distributed computing can be faster and much more powerful than using a supercomputer.
