刚刚逛不良牛UD板看到的消息
去官网找,消息是发布在论坛中
UD计画会在美国中部时间4/27中午12点正式结束
(论坛会一起关闭,不过网站跟任务伺服器好像会延长一周)
以下是全文备份(怕论坛关了以後有人没看到)

Post subject: All Good Things Come To An End…
With seven years and five projects under its belt, Grid.org has
successfully completed its mission: To evangelize the benefits
(and demonstrate the viability and security) of large-scale
Internet-based grid computing. Therefore, it is with great
pride for all the accomplishments of this pioneering resource,
and above all with the utmost gratitude to each of our members
around the globe, that we announce Grid.org will be retiring on
Friday, April 27, 2007.
We’ll be making a public announcement on the site later this
week, but we felt it was important to give you, our loyal
member base, an early heads-up out of respect for the years of
support you’ve given to Grid.org. This way you’ll have time
to gather final statistics, exchange contact info, and prepare
for the official shutdown.
What exactly is happening:
At 12:00 noon Central Time on Friday, April 27, Grid.org will
retire: Jobs will stop running, forums will be closed, and the
website will be updated to reflect the retired status of this
resource. We will leave the actual servers up for 1 week, so
agent messages about this action can continue to be sent to
members around the globe who might not check forums regularly.
We will also leave the Stats up for one week so you have plenty
of time to gather this data. After that, only the Home and
Projects pages will remain, along with the instructions for
uninstalling the agent (
http://www.grid.org/help/faq_uninstalling_agent.htm ).
Why?
Grid.org has completed its established mission to prove the
benefits and viability of Internet-based grid computing.
Grid.org was the largest and most ambitious public interest
grid venture ever attempted when it was conceived – and thanks
to Grid.org (and more specifically to all of you), today such a
grid is no longer a novelty. Many public grids are now
available, sponsored by large organizations better positioned
to provide support to millions of member volunteers and the
scientists who leverage their processing power. So, with the
underlying technologies now well established globally in both
public and private research programs, Grid.org’s goal of
establishing the underlying technology has been achieved.
But what about…
We realize that over the past few months, Grid.org has made
several announcements about upgrades coming in anticipation of
a couple of new projects that we were working on. While we were
fairly optimistic about these projects being launched, they
ultimately fell through for a number of reasons. We realize
that many of you had looked forward to participating in a beta
program ahead of launching these projects, and we’re sorry you
won’t have that opportunity.
Moving on: Where to go from here?
It’s clear from your years of loyalty to Grid.org that
Internet-based research projects of this kind are important to
you… and so we’re sure many of you will take your valuable
resources to other projects of this kind that are ready and
willing to accept you as new members.
Below are just a few of the projects we encourage you to
investigate:
> World Community Grid ( http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/ ),
operated by IBM
> Distributed.net ( http://www.distributed.net/ ), operated by
distributed.net
> Compute Against Cancer ( http://www.computeagainstcancer.org/
), operated by National Cancer Institute
> Folding@Home (
http://www.stanford.edu/group/pandegroup/folding/ ), operated
by Stanford University
> fightAIDS@Home ( http://fightaidsathome.scripps.edu/ ),
operated by Olson Lab at Scripps Research Institute
> LHC@home ( http://athome.web.cern.ch/athome/ ), operated by
CERN
> Distributed Folding ( http://www.distributedfolding.org/ ),
operated by a group of partners including Hogue Bioinformatics
Research Lab, Mount Sinai Hospital, and University of Toronto
> SETI@home ( http://setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/ ), operated
by University of California at Berkeley
Also, here are a few great sites to visit to learn more about
these and other projects:

Uninstalling the agent
The agent will no longer be processing work after Friday at
noon, so you will want to uninstall it from your home device.
Here’s how:
http://www.grid.org/help/faq_uninstalling_agent.htm . Some more
explicit instructions, including Troubleshooting, will be
posted online Friday when Grid.org actually retires.
Last but not least
As we’ve tried to emphasize not only in this announcement but
throughout our years of operations, we are fully aware of the
debt of gratitude we owe to all of you, our loyal members.
The excellent work Grid.org has done, both in contributing
massive research power to critical health research and in
establishing this kind of research as viable, would not have
been possible without your faith, efforts, and donations of
compute power and goodwill. There is no superlative high enough
to describe the value we place on your ongoing support for
Grid.org, and so we simply say Thank you, and we hope you feel
as proud as we do of the work you’ve done.
Sincerely,
The Grid.org Team
