'''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.

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.

<div class="bs-cta-body">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.
