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.

START COMPUTING!

To contribute to science areas (biomedicine, physics, astronomy, and so on) use Science United. Your computer will help current and future projects in the areas you choose.

[SRBase] BOINC Pentathlon 2026 - Discipline Javelin Throw

I prefer to bunker average WUs and report them later with

<cc_config> <options> <max_tasks_reported>200</max_tasks_reported> </options> </cc_config>

The deadline is 3d + grace_period of 6h and 80 WUs in progress per core.

Only CPU apps are counted.
