BOINC description:
The Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing (BOINC) software is a distributed computing infrastructure originally developed out of the SETI home project, but intended to be useful to fields beyond SETI.
BOINC is the information technology infrastructure for distributing work in the form of work units and downloading the distributed applications that process them.
BOINC does no useful scientific work itself. Scientific computations are run on user computers and results are analyzed after they are validated and transferred from BOINC into a scientific database.
Multiple independent projects use BOING such as: Einstein@Home, BBC Climate Change Experiment and more.
Participants can participate in multiple projects; they control which projects they participate in, and how their resources are divided among these projects. When a project is down or has no work, the resources of its participants are divided among other projects.
