You can now donate IDLE CPU TIME to scientific projects. You will need to download a program from the Boinc website, for Windows/Linux OS which will download tasks for you from the internet, crunch them when your computer is idle and send the results back. Participating in these project is on volunteer basis and at no extra charge for you.
- For overall statistics you can visit the BOINCstats website.
- Another neat statistics is available at Allprojectstats.
- We have our own team (MTV Europe), which is participating in the following projects:

Climate Prediction
Climate Prediction is the largest experiment to try and produce a forecast of the climate in the 21st century. To do this, we need people around the world to give us time on their computers - time when they have their computers switched on, but are not using them to their full capacity. Read more about the project.

World Community Grid
World Community Grid's mission is to create the largest public computing grid benefiting humanity. Our work is built on the belief that technological innovation combined with visionary scientific research and large-scale volunteerism can change our world for the better. Our success depends on individuals - like you - collectively contributing their unused computer time to this not-for-profit endeavor.

Rosetta@Home
Rosetta@Home needs your help to determine the 3-dimensional shapes of proteins in research that may ultimately lead to finding cures for some major human diseases. By running the Rosetta program on your computer while you don't need it you will help us speed up and extend our research in ways we couldn't possibly attempt without your help. You will also be helping our efforts at designing new proteins to fight diseases such as HIV, Malaria, Cancer, and Alzheimer's

SIMAP
SIMAP Today, protein sequence comparison is the most powerful tool in computational biology for characterizing protein sequences because of the enormous amount of information that is preserved throughout the evolutionary process. SIMAP is a public database of pre-calculated protein similarities that plays a key role in many bioinformatics methods. It contains about all currently published protein sequences and is continuously updated. The computational effort for keeping SIMAP up-to-date is constantly increasing. Please help to update SIMAP by calculating protein similarities on your computer. The computing power you donate supports manifold biological research projects that make use of SIMAP data.
Lattice
Lattice The Lattice Project is an effort by a community of scientists at the University of Maryland to develop and deploy a comprehensive Grid system for scientific analysis. See the overview for more information.
SETI@Home
SETI@Home is a scientific experiment that uses Internet-connected computers in the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI). You can participate by running a free program that downloads and analyzes radio telescope data. So if you haven't found any aliens in the #shells channel, give SETI a try !

LHC@Home
LHC@Home In 2004, CERN's IT Department became interested in evaluating the sort of technology that is used by volunteer computing projects like SETI@home. LHC@home became the overall title for these efforts, and a program called SixTrack, which simulates particles traveling around the LHC to study the stability of their orbits, became the first application to be tested. It was chosen because it can fit on a single PC and requires relatively little input or output, but a lot of processing power.
