BOINC was developed at University of California, Berkeley. Originally developed to support the SETI@home project, BOINC is now an open source system for distributed application platforms. It can be useful in various areas like mathematics, medicine, molecular biology, climatology, and astrophysics, where there is a necessity for enormous computing power. The intent of BOINC is to make it possible for researchers to tap into the enormous processing power of personal computers around the world.
