Description-en: core client for the BOINC distributed computing infrastructure
The Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing (BOINC) is a
software platform for distributed computing: several initiatives of
various scientific disciplines all compete for the idle time of
desktop computers. The developers' web site at the University of
Berkeley serves as a common portal to the otherwise independently run
projects.
.
This package contains the BOINC core client program that is required
to participate in any project that uses BOINC. A central server
distributes work units and collects results via this client. When
attaching a local machine to a project, this client will also
dynamically download the scientific data and executables to be then
wrapped by the BOINC core client.
