<p>
If you own a computer (Windows, Mac, Linux or Unix)
you can help scientific research projects in many areas:
<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 coming from pulsars
<li>
<a href=http://athome.web.cern.ch/athome/>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://setiweb.ssl.berkeley.edu/>SETI@home</a>:
Look for radio evidence of extraterrestrial life
<li><a href=http://www.cellcomputing.net/>Cell Computing</a>
(Japanese; requires nonstandard client software)
</ul>
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.
If you participate in several projects,
your computer will be busy even when one project has no work.

<tr><td>
If you're a scientist with a computationally-intensive task,
you may be able to use BOINC.
<p>
A BOINC project requires just a single Linux server,
and can provide computing power equivalent
to a cluster with tens of thousands of nodes.
