Welcome

Distributed computing projects just would not be right without a "Phoenix Rising" team, and we have representation in nearly every distributed computing project currently running. So if you want to help find a cure for cancer, find the aliens, bash particles together at high speed there is a project for you to participate in.

All these project allocate points or credit based upon the time you spend helping with your computer and the power of your hardware. This points allocation makes a second part to "crunching", races! We are in a race at some point on a project somewhere all the time. Sometimes these are between other teams of crunchers and TPR, and sometimes we race each other. In all races there is the same winner - the projects, all teams recognise this, so although there is a lot of banter between teams, it is all done in good humour.

 

TPR History

Team Phoenix Rising was started from a few like minded people who had a vision of equality. All members have the same "ranking", regardless of forum post counts or numbers of points in any given project. The team participated very strongly in the original Seti project, now affectionately known as "Seti Classic". One of the founder members, Millhouse, provided stats that made for great reading and great racing. The virtual team statistics provided great internal racing. The TPR forums quickly grew, and so did the crunching power, the final TPR Seti Classic stats can be found here.
