Distributed computing

Summary:

Use the idle time on your computer to cure diseases, study global warming, discover pulsars, and do many other types of scientific research. (see https://boinc.berkeley.edu/)

Description:

BOINC lets you contribute computing power on your home PC to projects doing research in many scientific areas. You can contribute to a single project, or to any combination of them. To get started:

1. Choose projects
2. Download and run BOINC software
3. Enter your account information. (see http://boinc.berkeley.edu/wiki/User_manual)

Security:

BOINC can be configured to use account-based sandboxing - that is, to run project applications under an unprivileged account. This is the default on Android. (see http://boinc.berkeley.edu/wiki/BOINC_Security)

Is it secure? Yes. BOINC and the programs it runs can access only their own files, not any of the other files on your Android device. More information is here. (see http://boinc.berkeley.edu/wiki/Android_FAQ)
