BOINC 5.10.20 - Donate Idle Computer Time to Science Projects

BOINC 5.10.20 (Windows, Open Source, 6.97MB) is a program that lets you donate your idle computer time to science projects like SETI@home, Climateprediction.net, Rosetta@home, World Community Grid, and many others. It is an open-source software for volunteer computing and desktop grid computing.

Also available for Mac OS X, and Linux.

Changes:

  • Grid based views.
  • Advanced preferences dialog.
  • Project list in the attach to project wizard.
  • Improved Windows Vista compatibility.
  • An Uninstaller is now included with the Macintosh BOINC Manager distribution.
  • NOTE: BOINC may NOT start at startup if you are running Windows Defender (WinXP, WinXPx64, WinVista, WinVistax64). This issue should be resolved in a future version of BOINC. In order to have BOINC start automatically you'll need to install as a service. On Vista the user account will need to have administrative access to the system.
