Summary: The Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing

Description: 

The Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing (BOINC) is an open-
source software platform which supports distributed computing, primarily in
the form of "volunteer" computing and "desktop Grid" computing.  It is well
suited for problems which are often described as "trivially parallel".  BOINC
is the underlying software used by projects such as SETI@home, Einstein@Home,
ClimatePrediciton.net, the World Community Grid, and many other distributed
computing projects.

Install the boinc-client package to participate in a number of scientific
projects.

Install the boinc-server package to host a computational project.

Install the boinc-demo package to view sample projects.

Use the boinc-devel package files in development of a new computational
project.
