* BOINC Central is a BOINC project. We operate a server and maintain this web site, so scientists don't have to.

* impactful final statement

* BOINC Central supports widely-used science applications. Initially we are supporting Autodock Vina from the Scripps Research Institute. We build versions of these applications for a range of computing platforms: different operating systems, CPU types, and GPU types.

* Scientists from academic research institutions can submit batches of jobs for these applications using a web interface. [https://boinc.berkeley.edu/central/about.php]
