Does your computer spend most of the day running screensavers or
otherwise wasting its computing cycles? Why not use those spare cycles to
help solve some huge problems? Try a project in one of the following
categories. Note: if a project is followed by parentheses, the project is run
on a distributed computing platform.
The categories below contain projects which are not
technically distributed computing projects: in these projects your computer
connects to a project server or website to get work, but you do the
work.
