Полезная информация:
Для идентификации пользователя в BOINC могут служить 2 вещи:
1) пара e-mail/пароль
2) межпроектный идентификационный ID (Cross-project ID) - 32значное шестнадцатиричное число.

Если Вы пожелаете подключится ещё и к другому BOINC-проекту, то помните: чтобы не плодить новых аккаунтов при подключении к новому проекту или команде, нужно обязательно везде регистрироваться с одним и тем же e-mail/паролем либо CPID. если при регистрации в проекте указать другие e-mail или пароль, BOINC создаст новый аккаунт с тем же именем!

О проекте:

Как я понял, Neuron занимается тем что раз в N минут отправляет на сервер параметры компа "которые в это время могли что-то считать".
То есть чисто измерительный проект, который периодически зря тратит циклы процессоров у доверчивых юзеров

Подробнее и на английском - в спойлере

Introduction

This project aims to provide a trial BOINC environment in which a set of dummy applications will run.
The purpose of this being to record, observe and understand BOINC activity and data with a view to
developing metrics that will establish or otherwise the quality/reliability/dependability of particular
BOINC projects. A central reference point will be developed and updated automatically to which users
can refer. User feedback may also be permitted at this reference point.

Background

Many will know that some BOINC projects are better resourced, run and managed than others. It is
inevitable that some research will be better funded than other research. A concern of a few BOINC
users is that it's hard to distinguish between a well run project where volunteer CPU resources are used
effectively and a badly run project where volunteer CPU time is being wasted. The environmental cost
alone says volunteers will want some reassurances their resources are not wasted. Equally volunteers
want to see feedback on how the science is progressing. It is often the case with BOINC projects that no
news really is bad news. This project is an attempt to differentiate between the well run and the badly run.
What this is NOT is an attempt to determine if a project and its aims are worthwhile or laudable or acceptable.
What is IS is an attempt to collect data from a BOINC project with a view to interpreting that data to help a
user work out if that project is sufficiently well run for them to join or continue with it.

There are 4 distinct phases to the project.

Phase 1

This research needs volunteers to run this BOINC project to produce work, download it, process the data,
return result, validate, assimilate and delete it just as any BOINC project would normally do. It needs to run
a forum, have news, send mails and generally act as a regular project. The data gathered in the project's BOINC
database and or static and dynamic information on the server will be examined to see what data is available for
analysis use and what tools might need to be created to exploit this data. It may be there is sufficient data to achieve
the goal or some part of it but if not then the project will offer advice to UCB on what might be collected in order
to better inform users.

Phase 2

Tools will be built that will be project admin based but will provide a page on the project web site that users can
refer to in order to get some quality indicator. Questions might be for example:

Do the project team post regular updates about their work to keep volunteers in touch with

* project developments?
* project problems?
* application fixes?
* News and RSS feed up to date and regular?

Does the project keep up to date with BOINC versions to bring users a better service?

Is there a regular supply of work?

Is work validated and assimilated on a timely basis giving users their credits in turn on timely basis?

Do backlogs build up that slow down the delivery of work and subsequent results?

Is server status available?

Are backups of database taken to secure the volunteer effort?

What is the error rate for work against applications and application versions and do developers respond to
problems to make all results "valuable"?

Phase 2 is a discovery process to explore what questions can be asked and what answers provided by the
system's data. From the data collected it may be possible to provide an automated answer to these and other questions.

Phase 3

A scoring system will be developed which will weight, score and rank these reliability criteria to produce a result.
This result will help users make choices over which projects they may wish to join.

Phase 4

The final phase is to:

To persuade and get sign up from BOINC and other projects to the approach of quality/reliability metrics in their projects.

To see the tools produced, or variations of them, become part of BOINC per se.

To establish the central reference point to collate and distribute project data to users.

How long will this all take?

Not at all sure to be frank. Certainly several months and may be as long as a year as it is part time activity.

Help Project Neuron develop metrics that will support or refute the quality/reliability/dependability of particular BOINC projects, to encourage BOINC-based projects to use quality/reliability metrics. This project provides a trial BOINC environment in which a set of dummy applications runs. The purpose of this project is to record, observe and understand BOINC activity and data with the goal of developing these metrics. A central reference point, to which users may refer, will be developed and updated automatically. See more details about the project and its four phases.

As of September 23, 2006, the project is in Pre Alpha stage, and registration is often closed. The project is currently limited to 200 participants.

The project uses a BOINC-based client. See the BOINC platform information for the latest version of the BOINC client. Version 3.06 of the Map Analysis client is available for Windows as of September 8, 2006. Version 3.06 of the client is available for Linux as of August 31, 2006.
