My friend Adam was telling me about World Community Grid the other day, which is a program for performing distributed research projects by allowing anyone to donate otherwise unused computing power to the program. It reminds me of distributed.net, with arguably nobler causes behind the project. I have a good chunk of unused cpu and gpu capacity laying around so I decided I’d set up the boinc client on my homelab.

Boinc is essentially a client program that enrolls your computer as a worker in a project like World Community Grid and coordinates the work on your system.
