Did you know you have the power to discover new anti-cancer drugs 👩⚕️, map the galaxy 🔭, and find new subatomic particles ⚛️ using your computer’s spare computational power? Join us in using the BOINC software to advance the progress of science. We are a newbie-friendly space, please feel free to...
Help find genes correlated with cancer, map the galaxies, or develop an open-source covid therapeutic. Whatever area of science you are interested in, there is a BOINC project you can participate in. Some of them (like the black hole database) will even credit you for your findings!
BOINC is a free app that runs on every OS (Windows, MacOS, Linux, Android) that enables you to volunteer your spare computational power towards scientific research.
BOINC has been around for decades and has produced hundreds of scientific papers.

Been running boinc / World Community Grid jobs for like 10+ years straight. Has all sorts of throttling settings, so it's pretty much set it and forget it, it doesn't interfere with other apps I run.
Always good to see a BOINC veteran in the wild 🍻
