LAN eXtensions for Instrumentation are available on the Consortium’s website. The number of LXI-compliant instruments has grown dramatically, starting from a handful of products from just two vendors in December 2005. This expansion in instrument availability has encouraged migration to LXI from older instrument platforms. As of January 2017, the Consortium had certified over 3600 instruments as being compliant with the Standard. The latest information on compliant instruments is available on the LXI Consortium’s website. LAN eXtensions for Instrumentation LAN eXtensions for Instrumentation (LXI) is a standard developed by the LXI Consortium, a consortium that maintains the LXI specification and promotes the LXI Standard.
Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing first BOINC-based project was Predictor@home launched on June 9, 2004. In 2009, AQUA@home deployed multi-threaded CPU applications for the first time, followed by the first OpenCL application in 2010. , 37 BOINC projects are active. In essence, BOINC is software that can use the unused CPU and GPU cycles on a computer to do scientific computing—what one individual does not use of his/her computer, BOINC uses. In late 2008, BOINC's official website announced that Nvidia had developed a system called CUDA that uses GPUs for scientific computing. With NVIDIA's assistance, some BOINC-based projects (e.g., SETI@home, MilkyWay@home) now have applications that
