I'm contemplating major changes to this and related pages. Presently it's just a lot of lists.

BOINC lets you contribute computing power on your home PC to projects doing research in many scientific areas. You can contribute to a single project, or to any combination of them.

  1. Choose projects
  2. Download and run BOINC software
  3. Enter the project URLs and your account information.

Or, if you run several projects, try an account manager such as GridRepublic or BAM!.

If you would like more information about BOINC, or need help installing BOINC, you can talk or chat with a BOINC volunteer.
