Description

Join team	Asteroids@home	Astrophysics	is a research project that uses Internet-connected computers to do research in Asteroids@home. You can participate by downloading and running a free program on your computer.
Join team	Einstein@Home	Astrophysics	Einstein@Home uses your computer's idle time to search for weak astrophysical signals from spinning neutron stars (often called pulsars) using data from the LIGO gravitational-wave detectors, the MeerKAT radio telescope, the Fermi gamma-ray satellite, as well as archival data from the Arecibo radio telescope.
Join team	Gaia@home	Astrophysics	The Gaia@home project is designed to give scientists another layer of freedom. The project makes possible to perform computations which demand a lot of CPU time – reducing the computational workload and opening up opportunities for heavy processing operations on volunteers computers.
Join team	MilkyWay@home	Astrophysics	Milkyway@Home uses the BOINC platform to harness volunteered computing resources, creating a highly accurate three dimensional model of the Milky Way galaxy using data gathered by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. This project enables research in both astroinformatics and computer science.
Join team	DENIS@Home	Biology	More than 17 million people die each year of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). That represents 31% of all global deaths, making these diseases the leading cause of death worldwide. Can you help us investigate it?
Join team	GPUGRID	Biology	GPUGRID is a volunteer computing project that harnesses the power of GPUs (Graphics Processing Units) to conduct cutting-edge scientific research. By utilizing the computational power of GPUs, we can perform complex calculations and simulations at a much faster rate than traditional CPU-based systems.
Join team	RNA World	Biology	RNA World is a distributed supercomputer that uses Internet-connected computers to advance RNA research. This system is dedicated to identify, analyze, structurally predict and design RNA molecules on the basis of established bioinformatics software in a high-performance, high-throughput fashion.
Join team	Rossetta@home	Biology	By running Rosetta@home on your computer when you're not using it you will speed up and extend our efforts to design new proteins and to predict their 3-dimensional shapes. Proteins are the molecular machines and building blocks of life. You can read more about protein folding and design here.
Join team	WUProp@Home	Computing	N/A
Join team	CPDN	Earth Science	CPDN (short for climateprediction.net) is a volunteer-based computing initiative dedicated to climate modeling. Through harnessing the computational power of individuals' home computers, we aim to investigate the current and future impact of climate change on our infrastructure, health, climate, and energy.
Join team	Minecraft@Home	Games	Minecraft@Home enables the study of the fundemental laws of Minecraft to answer unanswered questions regarding the features and true limits of the game.
Join team	Gerasim@Home	Mathematics	The project uses Internet-connected computers to do research in discrete mathematics.
Join team	Moo! Wrapper	Mathematics	Moo! Wrapper brings together BOINC volunteer computing network resources and the Distributed.net projects. It allows a BOINC Client to participate in the RC5-72 challenge.
Join team	NFS@Home	Mathematics	Volunteer computing for the Number Field Sieve, hosted at Cal State Fullerton
Join team	NumberFields@home	Mathematics	NumberFields@home searches for fields with special properties. The primary application of this research is in the realm of algebraic number theory. Number theorists can mine the data for interesting patterns to help them formulate conjectures about number fields. Ultimately, this research will lead to a deeper understanding of the properties of numbers, the basic building blocks of all mathematics. Another application of number fields is in cryptography, where they are used in sophisticated factoring algorithms and as the basis for new cryptosystems. There are also distant applications to mathematical physics, including quantum mechanics and string theory. A more detailed description of the project can be found here.
Join team	ODLK	Mathematics	The project compiles a database of canonical forms (CF) of diagonal Latin squares (LDK) of the 10-th order, having orthogonal diagonal Latin squares (ODLK).
Join team	ODLK1	Mathematics	N/A
Join team	PrimeGrid	Mathematics	PrimeGrid's primary goal is to advance mathematics by enabling everyday computer users to contribute their system's processing power towards prime finding. By simply downloading and installing BOINC and attaching to the PrimeGrid project, participants can choose from a variety of prime forms to search. With a little patience, you may find a large or even record breaking prime and enter into Chris Caldwell's The Largest Known Primes Database with a multi-million digit prime!
Join team	SRBase	Mathematics	Is a mathematical research project that uses Internet-connected computers trying to solve Sierpinski / Riesel Bases up to 1030. Prove the conjectures by finding at least one prime for all lower values of k.
Join team	LHC@Home	Physics	This a volunteer computing project that uses Internet-connected computers to advance Particle and Accelerator Physics. Participate by downloading and running a free program on your computer. By default, you can run the classic LHC@home application Sixtrack, for simulations of accelerator physics, and help researchers at CERN to improve the LHC. Other LHC@home simulations that utilizes virtualization to run applications for Theory and experiment simulations for ATLAS, CMS and LHCb are also available.
Join team	World Community Grid	Umbrella Project	World Community Grid enables anyone with a computer, smartphone or tablet to donate their unused computing power to advance cutting-edge scientific research on topics related to health, poverty and sustainability. Through the contributions of volunteers all over the globe, World Community Grid has supported 31 research projects to date, including searches for more effective treatments for cancer, HIV/AIDS and under-researched tropical diseases. Other projects are looking for low-cost water filtration systems and new materials for capturing solar energy efficiently.
Join team	yoyo@home	Umbrella Project	YAFU's goal is to factorize numbers up to 149 digit length which are needed to bring Aliquot Sequences to a size of at least 155. You can participate by downloading and running a free program on your computer.
