The Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing (BOINC)
|
|
|
|
BOINC is an open source middleware system for volunteer and grid computing.
|
|
It was originally developed to support the SETI@home project before it became
|
|
useful as a platform for other distributed applications in areas as diverse as
|
|
mathematics, medicine, molecular biology, climatology, and astrophysics. The
|
|
intent of BOINC is to make it possible for researchers to tap into the
|
|
enormous processing power of personal computers around the world.
|
|
|
|
Use the idle time on your computer (Windows, Mac, or Linux) to cure diseases,
|
|
study global warming, discover pulsars, and do many other types of scientific
|
|
research. It's safe, secure, and easy.
|
|

|
Building
|
|
|
|
(1) BOINC needs a static library for wxGTK3, compile with
|
|
|
|
STATIC=yes ./wxGTK3.SlackBuild
|
|
|
|
(2) Edit DATADIR in the script or run
|
|
|
|
DATADIR="/home/<user>/.boinc_data" ./boinc.Slackbuild
|
|
|
|
to set the data directory in your user's home and build the package.
|
|
|
|
(3) If you do not wish to build the boincmgr GUI,
|
|
|
|
BOINCMGR=no ./boinc.SlackBuild
|
|
|
|
then you do not need to install the dependencies (webp, webkit, wxGTK3).
|
|
|
|
|
|
After installation
|
|
|
|
After installation you need to join a BOINC project:
|
|
http://boinc.berkeley.edu/projects.php
|
|
|
|
You can then connect the BOINC to the project of your choice. You can
|
|
also use:
|
|
http://boincstats.com/
|
|
to set up, organize, and track multiple projects.
|
|
|
|
To start the BOINC GUI, run:
|
|
boincgui
|
|
or
|
|
boincmgr --clientdir=/usr/bin --datadir="/home/<user>/.boinc_data"
|
