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. | ''BOINC'' stands for '''Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing''', developed at the University of California, Berkeley.
