Why does the Help Cure Muscular Dystrophy project only run on Windows?
At the present time, we are only running Phase 1 of the Help Cure Muscular Dystrophy project. Phase 1 has only a relatively small amount of work units but the work is important for analysis in preparation for Phase 2. Phase 2 will be much larger and is scheduled to start later in 2007. Because Phase 1 is very small and will not run very long we decided not to run it on BOINC. This means that the project will not run on the three BOINC platforms: Windows, Linux, and Mac. Phase 1 only runs on UD which is Windows only. Phase 2 will run on both UD and BOINC.
