boinc-client

core client for the BOINC distributed computing infrastructure

The Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing (BOINC) is a software platform for distributed computing: several initiatives of various scientific disciplines all compete for the idle time of desktop computers. The developers' web site at the University of Berkeley serves as a common portal to the otherwise independently run projects. This package contains the BOINC core client program that is required to participate in any project that uses BOINC. A central server distributes work units and collects results via this client. When attaching a local machine to a project, this client will also dynamically download the scientific data and executables to be then wrapped by the BOINC core client.

boinc

metapackage for the BOINC client and the manager

The Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing (BOINC) is a software platform for distributed computing: several initiatives of various scientific disciplines all compete for the idle time of desktop computers. The developers' web site at the University of Berkeley serves as a common portal to the otherwise independently run projects. This package depends both on the BOINC core client program that is required to participate in any project that uses BOINC, and the BOINC Manager, a graphical monitor and control utility for the BOINC core client.

boinc-nox

Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing for desktop without Xorg dependencies

boinc-dbg

debugging symbols for BOINC binaries

The Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing (BOINC) is a software platform for distributed computing using volunteered computer resources. This package contains unstripped versions of all binaries included in the BOINC client packages. It is provided primarily to provide a backtrace with names in a debugger, this makes it somewhat easier to interpret core dumps. For installations running a BOINC server locally, it may be of interest to also install the boinc-server-dbg package.
