WUProp@home is a non-intensive project that uses Internet-connected computers to collect workunits properties of BOINC projects such as computation time, memory requirements, checkpointing interval or report limit. You can participate by downloading and running a free program on your computer.

This is a very important BOINC project because of continuous, automatic application monitoring by any client running this along with other BOINC projects.
