Please note: This site has officially become a museum of volunteer computing as opposed to an active site.

When the site was started, there was a need for better volunteer computing information, but I am happy to say that there is enough information available now that this website's mission is no longer necessary. Please see sites listed on the links page for more current information.

Volunteer Computing allows you to connect your computer to science projects around the globe. These free programs use your computer's idle time to do calculations in areas such as astronomy, pharmaceutical research, climate change, and more.

 

There are many reasons to participate:

  • You computer could be the one that discovers a cure!
  • Software is easy to install
  • There are many areas of interest to choose from
  • Requires no interaction from the user after installation
