Beginning in October 2009, BOINC added support for the ATI/AMD family of GPUs also. With NVIDIA's assistance, some BOINC-based projects (e.g., now have applications that run on NVIDIA GPUs using CUDA. In late 2008, BOINC's official website announced that NVIDIA (a leading GPU manufacturer) had developed a system called CUDA that uses GPUs for scientific computing.
BOINC STATS SOFTWARE
In essence, BOINC is software that can use the unused CPU and GPU cycles on a computer to do scientific computing-what one individual does not use of his/her computer, BOINC uses. BOINC aims to enable researchers to tap into the enormous processing resources of multiple personal computers around the world.īOINC development originated with a team based at the Space Sciences Laboratory (SSL) at the University of California, Berkeley and led by David Anderson, who also leads As a high-performance distributed computing platform, BOINC brings together about 311,742 active participants and 834,343 active computers (hosts) worldwide processing on average 11.747 PetaFLOPS as of 24 March 2016. Originally developed to support the project, it became generalized as a platform for other distributed applications in areas as diverse as mathematics, linguistics, medicine, molecular biology, climatology, environmental science, and astrophysics, among others. The Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing (BOINC, pronounced /bɔɪŋk/ - rhymes with "oink"), an open-source middleware system, supports volunteer and grid computing.
