BOINC is the leading middleware system for volunteer computing (i.e., scientific computing using volunteered home computers).  It is used by over 50 volunteer computing projects, including Einstein@home, SETI@home, Rosetta@home, Climateprediction.net, IBM World Community Grid, and LHC@home (CERN).

Projects
