    BOINC is a simple software program that was developed by a team in Berkeley University California led by Dr David Anderson who started one of the original volunteer computing projects called SETI@home. BOINC was originally started back in the late 1990's but only became public in early 2000. Since it started, all most 10 million people around the world have downloaded and ran the BOINC program. Today there is about 1.5 million people running BOINC on their home or work PC's and putting their computers spare capacity to good use for science.

    Simply put, by downloading the BOINC software onto your computer, you can connect YOUR COMPUTER to one, or any number of science projects around the world. This is volunteer computing, that means that if you connect your computer to one of the BOINC projects, some of your computers spare time and capacity will be used to process scientific data for that project. The BOINC software just runs in the background on your computer and will have very little effect on the way you normally use your computer from day to day.

    So by allowing BOINC to run in the background on your computer, you will be helping science in many areas like Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Medicine, Mathematics, Astronomy and much more.

    If you are running any BOINC projects on your computer, you should join team Ireland on each of those individual projects. There are over 1 million BOINC users and the only way we can offer you support and help is if we can find you on the team. Just joining the team on one BOINC project does not mean that you will automatically have joined the team on all the projects. Every BOINC project is separate and you should join team Ireland on each of them separately too.
