BOINC Central

BOINC project page template

BOINC Central is based on BOINC - a system for volunteer computing, allowing people around the world to donate computing power to science research.

Why BOINC Central?

BOINC Central gives scientists access to the power of volunteer computing without having to operate a BOINC server.

Goal

The goal of BOINC Central is to make the power of volunteer computing available to all scientists, including those with little money and technical resources and those whose need for computing is sporadic.

Methods

• BOINC Central is a BOINC project. We operate a server and maintain this web site, so scientists don't have to.
• 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. [1]
