<span class="bs-definition-label">What is a BOINC project?</span>
'''A BOINC project''' is a website and associated server set up by an individual or group to distribute applications to [https://boinc.berkeley.edu/ BOINC] volunteer computing devices. Those devices deliberately attach to receive, process, and return results for further scientific research — at no cost to the researcher, and no cost to the volunteer beyond electricity.


'''''A - BOINC project definition:''''' A [https://boinc.berkeley.edu/ BOINC] project is a website and associated server set up by an individual or group to distribute applications (software which is a set of instructions for executing tasks in a computing device) to BOINC volunteer computing devices that are deliberately attached to receive, process and return the results of the application for further research.
''BOINC'' stands for '''Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing''', developed at the University of California, Berkeley. Any researcher can create a BOINC project; any person can donate their idle CPU or GPU time to one.

== About this wiki ==
 
This ''BOINC projects'' MediaWiki is researched, written, and maintained by [https://boincsynergy.ca/ BOINC Synergy] — a volunteer initiative dedicated to documenting the global BOINC ecosystem. The [[BOINC projects|projects table]] is considered the flagship resource: a single, structured, continuously-updated registry of every known BOINC project, past and present.
 
Corrections, additions, and edits are welcome. If you know of a BOINC project not yet listed, please use the talk page or contact [https://boincsynergy.ca/ BOINC Synergy] directly.
