<h2>Status</h2>
</center>
<p>
BOINC is under development.
We are conducting a
<a href=http://maggie.ssl.berkeley.edu/ap/>beta test of BOINC</a>
using the <a href=http://setiathome.berkeley.edu>SETI@home</a> and
Astropulse applications.
The public release will be announced on the SETI@home web site.
Several other distributed computing projects are evaluating BOINC.

BOINC is being used at the Scripps Research Institute
to run a distributed version of CHARMM
(a program for macromolecular simulations).
<br><br>
<b>February 1, 2004</b>
<br>
BOINC now has an <b>anonymous platform mechanism</b>
which 1) allows computers of any type to participate
in a BOINC project, and 2) allows participants to
run only software they have compiled themselves,
should they so desire.

<b>January 22, 2004</b>
<br>
The BOINC core client now provides a set of RPCs allowing
separate GUIs to be developed.
