2005-07-05 09:02:55 +00:00

you can participate in scientific research in many areas:

To participate in a project:
|
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
|
1) Visit the project's web site and create an account.
|
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
|
2) <a href=download.php>Download</a> and run BOINC software.
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
You can participate in any or all projects -- the choice is up to you.
|
|
|
|
|
You control the percentage of your computing power
|
|
|
|
|
that goes to each project.
|
2005-04-11 19:29:36 +00:00
|
|
|
If you participate in several projects,
|
|
|
|
|
your computer will be busy even when one project has no work.
