<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.

What is a BOINC project? A BOINC project is a website and associated server set up by an individual or group to distribute applications to 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.

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.

📋 The BOINC Projects Master Table
The List of all BOINC projects table is the heart of this wiki — a structured, sortable reference covering project name, research field, institution, supported platforms, active status, GPU support, and more. It is the primary reason this resource exists and the most complete registry of BOINC projects available anywhere.

📺 BOINC Project Screensaver Archive
Before modern power management made them obsolete, every BOINC project shipped a real-time animated screensaver showing the computation in progress, including protein chains folding, star fields sweeping and climate models spinning. All 71 known screensaver recordings, spanning projects from SETI@home to Pirates@Home, are now preserved in one place.
