Description BOINC is a program that lets you donate your idle computer time to science projects like SETI@home, Climateprediction.net, Rosetta@home, World Community Grid, and many others. After installing BOINC on your computer, you can connect it to as many of these projects as you like. Purpose This project serves several communities.

  • Scientists: use BOINC to create a volunteer computing project giving you the computing power of thousands of CPUs.
  • Universities: use BOINC to create a Virtual Campus Supercomputing Center.
  • Companies: use BOINC for desktop Grid computing.
