  Description     : software platform for distributed computing using volunteer computer resources

Many different projects can use BOINC. Projects are independent; each
one operates its own servers and databases. However, projects can share
resources in the following sense: Participants install a core client
program which in turn downloads and executes project-specific
application programs. Participants control which projects they
participate in, and how their resources are divided among these
projects. When a project is down or has no work, the resources of its
participants are divided among the other projects in which the
participants are registered.
