The Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing (BOINC) is a
software platform which supports distributed computing, primarily in
the form of "volunteer" computing and "desktop grid" computing. It is
well suited for problems which are often described as "trivially

protein folding, study global warming, discover sources of
gravitational waves, and many other types of scientific and
mathematical research.
