- BOINC lets you help cutting-edge science research using your computer. The BOINC app, running on your computer, downloads scientific computing jobs and runs them invisibly in the background. It's easy and safe.
- About 30 science projects use BOINC. They investigate diseases, study climate change, discover pulsars, and do many other types of scientific research.
- The BOINC and Science United projects are located at the University of California, Berkeley and are supported by the National Science Foundation.
Or download BOINC and choose specific projects.

[iThena] iThena OONI Probe: ARM Platform [1]
We have added support for the iThena OONI Probe application for the ARM platform: aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu.
We plan to add more ARM platforms soon.
You are welcome to test the iThena OONI Probe application on ARM (bugs are possible on this platform at this time - preliminary testing).

[MLC@Home] Current WU issues, working on a fix
A short note that we're aware of the issue with WUs coming from the CPU and TEST work queues (the GPU queue appears fine at the moment). This is due to a server-side issue related to some cleanup and upgrades I've been doing behind the scenes that appears to have gone haywire, and since it initially seemed to be working I didn't catch it immediately, leading to compounding the issues.
This is unacceptable and I apologize. While this had been tested, this failure mode was unforeseen. You rely on us to keep things running smoothly, and I failed you.
Over the next 24 hours we'll be sending out cancellations for the corrupted WUs, and may stop/start the service a few times while we try to clean things up. Please bear with us and thanks for your patience.
I stress : no data was lost, and the nature of the failure is to fail-fast on the client, so there is little to no wasted computer cycles.
Thanks again, and we'll do better in the future.

Windows communication failure: temporary workaround
Recently, the Windows BOINC client stopped being able to communicate with some projects and with Science United. This is because of an expired entry in a file called the "certificate authority bundle".
To fix this problem, download a new version of the file and put it in the
C:/Program Files/BOINC
directory.
This is a temporary fix. We hope to release a new version of the client that won't have this problem in the future.
