<p>
BOINC lets you donate computing power to scientific research projects:
<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://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>
biomedical research
(Japanese; requires nonstandard client software)
</ul>
To participate in a project:
<br>
1) Go to 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,
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.
<p>
There are several Wikis
with information and documentation about BOINC:
<ul>
<li> <a href=http://boinc-doc.net/boinc-wiki/>The Unofficial BOINC Wiki</a> (in English)
<li> <a href=http://faq.boinc.de/>Deutsche BOINC FAQ</a> (in German)
<li> <a href=http://www.boincfrance.org/wakka.php?wiki=BienVenue>BOINCFrance.org</a> (in French)
</ul>
<p>
... and many other <a href=links.php>web sites for BOINC participants</a>.

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 nodes.
