<p>
BOINC lets you donate computing power
to scientific research projects such as:
<ul>
<li>
<a href=http://climateprediction.net>Climateprediction.net</a>:
study climate change
<li>
<a href=http://einstein.phys.uwm.edu/>Einstein@home</a>:
search for gravitational signals emitted by pulsars
<li>
<a href=http://lhcathome.cern.ch/>LHC@home</a>:
improve the design of the CERN LHC particle accelerator
<li>
<a href=http://predictor.scripps.edu>Predictor@home</a>:
investigate protein-related diseases
<li>
<a href=http://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/>Rosetta@home<a>:
help researchers develop cures for human diseases
<li><a href=http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/>SETI@home</a>:
Look for radio evidence of extraterrestrial life
<li><a href=http://www.cellcomputing.net/>Cell Computing</a>
biomedical research
(Japanese; requires nonstandard client software)
<li> <a href=http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/>World Community Grid</a>:
advance our knowledge of human disease. (Requires 5.2.1 or greater)
</ul>
To participate in a project,
<a href=download.php>download</a> and run BOINC software,
then enter the project's URL.
<p>
You can participate in more than one project,
and you control the fraction of your computing power
that goes to each project.
If you participate in several projects,
your computer will be kept busy even when one project has no work.

Scientists with computationally-intensive tasks
may be able to use BOINC.
A BOINC project requires just a single Linux server,
and can provide computing power equivalent
to a cluster with tens of thousands of CPUs.
