BOINC Projects

ABC@Home
This is an educational and non-profit project finding abc-triples related to the ABC Conjecture.

AQUA@Home
D-Wave's AQUA (Adiabatic QUantum Algorithms) is a research project whose goal is to predict the performance of superconducting adiabatic quantum computers on a variety of hard problems arising in fields ranging from materials science to machine learning.

climateprediction.net
Climateprediction.net is a distributed computing project to produce predictions of the Earth's climate up to 2080 and to test the accuracy of climate models.

Collatz Conjecture
This is a research project that is doing research in mathematics, specifically testing the Collatz Conjecture also known as 3x+1 or HOTPO (half or triple plus one).

Cosmology@Home
The goal of this project is to search for the model that best describes our Universe and to find the range of models that agree with the available astronomical and particle physics data.

Docking@Home
This project performs scientific calculations that aid in the creation of new and improved medicines. The project aims to help cure diseases such as Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV).

EDGeS@Home
EDGeS is a European project with the aim of creating an integrated Grid infrastructure that seamlessly integrates a variety of Desktop Grids with EGEE type of service Grids.

Einstein@Home
A project that uses your computer's idle time to search for spinning neutron stars (also called pulsars) using data from the LIGO gravitational wave detector. It also searches for radio pulsars in binary systems, using data from the Arecibo Observatory located in Puerto Rico.

Enigma@Home
This project is a wrapper between BOINC and Stefan Krah's M4 Project, an effort to break 3 original Enigma messages with the help of distributed computing. The signals were intercepted in the North Atlantic in 1942 and are believed to be unbroken.

FreeHAL@Home
This is a research project that uses Internet-connected computers to parse and convert big open source semantic nets for use in FreeHAL, an attempt to create a sophisticated human chat artificial intelligence program.

GPUGRID.net
This is a novel distributed supercomputing infrastructure made up of many NVIDIA graphics cards joined together to deliver high-performance all-atom biomolecular simulations.

Ibercivis
Project that performs calculations for edge research (new drugs against cancer, clean energy) developed in public schools.

Lattice Project
A community of researchers, scientists, and staff at the University of Maryland working to integrate and deploy computing resources, Grid middleware, specialized scientific application software and semantic web services in a comprehensive Grid system for scientific analysis.

Leiden Classical
Join in and help to build a Desktop Computer Grid dedicated to general Classical Dynamics for any scientist or science student!

MalariaControl.net
A project that makes use of network computing for stochastic modelling of the clinical epidemiology and natural history of Plasmodium falciparum malaria.

MilkyWay@Home
The goal of this project is to use the BOINC platform to harness volunteered computing resources in creating a highly accurate three dimensional model of the Milky Way galaxy using data gathered by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. The project enables research in both astroinformatics and computer science.

NFS@Home
A project designed to do the lattice sieving step in the Number Field Sieve factorization of large integers.

Pirates@Home
An ongoing test of the BOINC platform, this project occasionally has work, generally of a non-scientific nature, used in testing BOINC functionality.

POEM@Home
A purely academic, non-profit project to improve our understanding of biomolecular structure and function.
