Korea@Home is a distributed computing initiative which exists since 2002. It is organized/supported by the Supercomputing Center of KISTI (Korea Institute of Science and Technology Information), the KCC (Korea Communications Commission), Tongmyong University.

applications:

active (as of: Oct. 2009): block cipher DES key screening (#WUs), climate forecast of Korean peninsula (#WUs), screening candidate compounds for new drugs (#WUs)
waiting/unknown: high-resolution precipitation forecast (#WUs), Korean SETI (VLBI)
finished: dielectric hierarchy comparison, cryptanalysis by time-memory trade-offs, factorization analysis, analysis of TFT-LCD characteristics, analysis of protein folding

about the WUs

First experience (has to be verified):

It seems you can process only one project at a time. Maximum WU amount you can store is 30. Only when the queue is finished, new WUs are received
climate prediction WU: takes about 10 mins with 2,66 GHz
DES WU: about 6 mins with 2,66 GHz

Client application

There is a client (Kath2Setup.exe) available for Windows here. It contains: KathAgentManager.exe, KathAgentCore.exe, KathAgentUI.exe, KathUpgrade.exe. To use the client you have to register here. Important: input your email first and after you receive the activation code you can continue the registration process. It is recommended to use Firefox for registering (you can copy + paste Korean error messages into a translation service of your choice).
