- perform cardiac electrophysiological simulations for San Jose University, Zaragoza, Spain.
DBN Upper Bound - compute the Reimann zeta function, an important function in number theory related to the distribution of prime numbers.- search for a cosmological model that best describes our universe, coordinated by the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.The conjecture is that no matter what positive integer is chosen for n x, the sequence always arrives at 1. If n x is odd, n x+1 is equal to n x multiplied by 3, plus 1. If n x is even, n x+1 is equal to n x divided by 2. Collatz Conjecture - help study the mathematical problem: n x is any positive integer.- generate and verify climate models at Oxford University.Citizen Science Grid - assist "citizen science" at the University of North Dakota.- provide computing power to the Chinese Academy of Sciences.- provide computing power to researchers at the Texas Advanced Computing Center.Coordinated by Charles University in Prague. - calculate the shape and spin of the vast population of detected asteroids in space.Amicable Numbers - search for pairs of numbers where the sum of the proper divisors of each is equal to the other number.- analyze recorded underwater acoustic data, to help paint a picture of the world's oceanographic characteristics.Projects operating on the BOINC platform include: Fields of science with one or more dedicated projects include:ĭepending on the project, the supported operating systems, architectures, and devices may include one or more of the following:Īs of this writing, all BOINC projects support Microsoft Windows and Linux on Intel. Scientific fieldsĮach scientific problem computed by BOINC has its own dedicated project middleware.
Comprising over 310,000 participants and 800,000 devices, if the BOINC system were a single computer, it would be the fourth most powerful supercomputer in the world. The resources are only used if the machine is idle, and with mobile devices, plugged-in with the battery charged to at least 90%.īOINC is a form of distributed computing, although it is more accurately referred to as volunteer computing or grid computing. Users install the BOINC software on their computer or mobile device, and contribute their spare CPU and GPU resources to a specific computing project.
