The Lattice Project is the research in Grid computing conducted by the Laboratory of Molecular Evolution. It can also refer to the Grid computing system that is currently in production at the University of Maryland.
The main thing to realize is that because The Lattice BOINC Project is hooked up to a general purpose Grid system, no single project or application dominates the landscape. We provide a description of the applications we run and the various projects they may be associated with. Our research page attempts to describe the relevant science without using too much jargon, as that can be off-putting to many potential contributors. However, for those who want a more detailed and technical treatment of the work, you may follow links to appropriate academic papers, software, web sites, and so on.
The other big difference is to understand the applications we run. Typically, these are so-called legacy applications, which means they were not originally written with BOINC in mind. If you look at our master list of Grid services (a term we use to mean a Grid-enabled application), you will see that most of them have been "ported to BOINC" at one time or another. In the majority of cases, this was achieved with a library of our own that predates the newer wrapper method. However, we recognize the advantages of a native BOINC application, the biggest of which is checkpointing. Thus, if we are going to run an application a great deal, we will at least consider the possibility of modifying that application's source code to produce a native BOINC executable when it is possible to do so.
