Put your computer to good use while you sleep
Written on 2/09/2010 06:42:00 PM by Marc Crow
Use the idle time on your computer (Windows, Mac, or Linux) to cure diseases, study global warming, discover pulsars, and do many other types of scientific research.
BOINC, short for Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing, is open source software for volunteer and grid computing. Its used by science research projects like SETI@Home, Rosetta@home, World Community Grid, Climateprediction.net and many other Universities and Organizations around the world.
Volunteers can download the BOINC software, attach to one or more of these science projects and participate in the science research. The BOINC software will run on any type of computer and just operates in the background and wont effect your normal computer use. Why leave a computer idle when it could be doing something beneficial for science?
Download the BOINC software today, join Rosetta@home, and become a member of Marc Crow Computer Repair's team, to help to fight diseases such as HIV, Malaria, Cancer, and Alzheimer's.
