BOINC Central uses BOINC - a system for 'volunteer computing', allowing people to donate computing power to science research. We let scientists in multiple areas access the power of volunteer computing without having to create their own BOINC project.

We're operated by the U.C. Berkeley BOINC project.

Computer owners:

Support computational research in multiple areas.

Scientists:

Need high-throughput computing power and can't afford the high cost of commercial clouds? We may be able to help, by giving you access to thousands of computers at no charge. We provide computing to independent researchers as well as those from academic institutions.

We support any application packaged with Docker, as well as widely-used science applications like Autodock Vina from the Scripps Research Institute.

See video tutorials on using Autodock in BOINC Central.

Boolean Chains project reaches milestone
The Boolean Chains project (the first hosted by BOINC Central) has reached a milestone: the search space for N=15, L=21 is done. See a discussion of the results. 37,444,981,252,103,000 chains were generated, using 2,139 days of computing. The next phase of the project will explore the N=16, L=22 case.
