| Computer Work Calculator is an interactive web page that allows you to estimate the "fair value of a slice of CPU power," estimate the cost of purchasing that amount of power on a commercial distributed computing network, or estimate the soonest possible time that you can execute a given number of instructions for a given amount of money. | ||
| Many add-on tools for SETI@home are listed in the SETI@home FAQ. These include tools to maintain and view logs of work units, display stats about your current work unit in a small Graphical User Interface (GUI), view extended information about SETI@home team statistics, and buffer multiple work units on your system so that you don't need to connect to the SETI@home servers after completing each work unit. | ||

COWPump "uses WinAmp's Visualization plug-in to visualize a distributed.net client's performance." | |
|
SETI Timer is a web-based tool that allows you to estimate the time it will take for your system to process one SETI@Home data block. | |
|
Folding Timer is a web-based tool that allows you to estimate the time it will take for your system to complete one Folding@Home protein folding work unit. | |

Genome Spy
monitors and analyzes a nearly unlimited number of
Genome@Home clients in one
application window. It is written in Visual Basic 6 and is currently only
available for the Win32 platform. Version 0.98.32 is available as of January 12, 2002.

| CPH by Chris Harper is a small, simple, and fast Win98 application which monitors your Genome@Home client. It provides a lot of information about your current and cached work units, estimated work unit completion time, and your project stats. It also starts and stops your Genome@Home client. Read about the client's features and usage in an online help file. Version 0.94b of the client is available as of January 28, 2002. | ||

FoldMonitor
by Denis Hruza is a PerlTk script (or Win32
executable) that graphically monitors
Folding@Home version 2
clients. It also monitors
Genome@Home clients if you run it with a --genome option, and
Distributed Folding clients if you
run it with a --distribfold option. The PerlTk
version requires you to have Perl/Tk installed on your system. It supports
skins and color themes, so you can customize its look. Version 5.1.4 is
available as of May 23, 2002.

DSpy is a Win32 executable that monitors up to ten Sengent D2OL and/or Community TSC clients. Version 0.953 of the client is available as of August 5, 2002. | |

KDFold
monitors up to 10,000 Folding@Home, Genome@Home,
Distributed Folding and Find-a-Drug clients (Find-a-Drug is currently
only supported in the Windows client). It is available as an executable
or source code for Linux and Windows, and it is customizable with
auto-sizeable skins. All skinned versions have a rollup button on them
in the title bar: the button is different for each skin. Version 5.8f of
the WinKDFold (for Windows) and LinKDFold (for Linux) client is available
as of November 16, 2002.

Google Compute,
a feature of the
Google Toolbar, volunteers your
computer to work on distributed computing projects when it would otherwise
be idle. It currently supports the
Folding@Home project. In the future it will support other projects and
will use your computer to "improve Google and its services." You can enable
and disable this feature of the Google Toolbar at any time, and you can access
your stats for the projects you are contributing to. All Google Compute
volunteers are grouped into the Team Google team for projects that support
teams.
The Google Toolbar requires a Win32 platform with Internet Explorer version 5 or later. It creates a toolbar underneath the Internet Explorer toolbar in Internet Explorer. |

Distributed Folding GUI
provides a graphical way for Windows users to start,
stop, and run the Distributed Folding
client software. It shows you how many structures have been completed in the
current block, how fast the structures are being folded, and gives an
estimated time for when the block will be completed (and it lets you write
this benchmarking information to a file which you can share with friends).
It also lets you change the options used for the Distributed Folding client.
The Distributed Folding client is run in a separate DOS window, so you can still watch the ANSI art it creates when it is running. dfGUI also supports running the Distributed Folding client as a service. Version 1.91 of the tool is available as of November 12, 2002. Source code for the tool is available from the website. |

Folding@Home Grapher
"graphs and analyzes
Folding@Home team statistics
over time." "The current functionality includes the ability to download and
store team statistics from the Folding@Home site and display a graph showing
the performance of any subset of teams."
Alpha version 0.0.2 of the tool is available as of July 25, 2002. The tool is currently developed for Linux. See installation instructions for the tool. |

ECC2-109 GUI
provides a graphical way for Windows users to start,
stop, and run the ECC2-109
client software. It shows you how many distinguished points you have found and
how fast the distinguished points are being found, and displays benchmarking
information about your system (you can write this benchmarking information to
a file which you can share with friends).
The ECC2-109 client is run in a separate DOS window or as a service, so you can still watch the client window directly when it is running. Version 0.4 of the tool is available as of December 1, 2002. Source code for the tool will be available after version 1.0. |

ECC2-109 GUI
provides a graphical way for Windows users to view
statistics from multiple instances of the
ECC2-109 client software. It shows you how many distinguished points
each instance has found and how many points are being tested per second, and
it allows you to start and stop remote instances and to edit the .cfg file
via the GUI.
The ECC2-109 client is run in a separate DOS window or as a service, so you can still watch the client window directly when it is running. Version 0.2 of the tool is available as of November 20, 2002. |
