Distributed Computing - BOINC Platform

I have been a Distributed Computing enthusiast, volunteer and developer since 2006, mainly working with the BOINC platform in the fields of process scheduling, as well as data communication performance for life science projects. Distributed Computing projects form the world's largest Supercomputer and advance scientific research. If you often leave your computer idle while you work, consider downloading the BOINC client and joining one of the DC projects. You help science by donating your space CPU time to one of the projects listed under BOINC.
