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.

Уважаемые участники распределённых вычислений.

Сегодня, без обяснения причин, проект "Симметричные кортежи из последовательных простых чисел" скоропостижно завершён автором проекта Натальей Макаровой. Прошу принять наши извинения.

p.s. Прошу всех удалить задания "Get Symmetrical Tuples", поскольку забирать их, она тоже не будет.

Dear participants of distributed computing.

Today, without explanation, the project "Symmetric Tuples of Sequential Primes"

completed by the author of the project Natalya Makarova. Please accept our apologies.

p.s. I ask everyone to delete the "Get Symmetrical Tuples" tasks, since she will not pick them up either.
