BOINC Central is a volunteer computing service operated by the U.C. Berkeley BOINC project. It lets scientists in multiple areas access volunteer computing power without creating their own BOINC project. It currently supports any application packaged with Docker, and provides computing to independent researchers as well as those from academic institutions. Computer owners donate computing power to support computational research in multiple areas.
