World Community Grid enables anyone with a computer, smartphone or tablet to donate their unused computing power to advance cutting-edge scientific research on topics related to health, poverty, and sustainability. It brings together volunteers and researchers at the intersection of computational chemistry, open science and citizen science. More than 30 research projects have been supported to date through […]
The Berkley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing (BOINC) is an open source software platform for computing that uses volunteered resources. The BOINC platform was developed at the University of Berkeley and started in 2002. BOINC makes it possible to use the unused computing power of many thousands of computers available over the Internet or any Intranet. This is done by means of projects which are mostly non-profit and supported by universities […]
You don’t have to be a scientist to do science. This is the slogan of the Rosetta@home project. The idea is quite simple – you can donate free computing capacity in times where you don’t need it to determine the 3-dimensional shapes of proteins. By running the Rosetta program on your computer, you will help researchers speed up processes and increase knowledge […]
