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.

✦ Retired & inactive BOINC projects
⏸ Retired projects (expand)
These projects have suspended operations or are no longer accepting new work units. Their pages are preserved here for historical reference and research continuity.
How to participate in BOINC projects
1. Download BOINC
Get the free BOINC client from
boinc.berkeley.edu. Available for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android.
3. Attach & contribute
Register on the project's website, attach via the BOINC client, and your idle computer begins processing work units automatically.
About this wiki
This BOINC projects MediaWiki is researched, written, and maintained by BOINC Synergy — a volunteer initiative dedicated to documenting the global BOINC ecosystem. The projects table is considered the flagship resource: a single, structured, continuously-updated registry of every known BOINC project, past and present.
Corrections, additions, and edits are welcome. If you know of a BOINC project not yet listed, please use the talk page or contact BOINC Synergy directly.
