HAGUE – Did you always want to contribute to science, but do not have the required amount of talent or knowledge? Then the Android app BOINC might be something for you.
BOINC, a project of the American University Berkeley , put the unused computing power of your smartphone for scientific purposes. For example you can help in hunting pulsars, rapidly rotating stars, or contribute to the search for a new drug against AIDS. The app lends only the redundant digital muscles of your phone as he is in the charger and your battery is more than 95 percent full. The information is a wifi sent, so you data bundle will not suffer.
“There are now about a billion Android devices, and together they are more powerful than the most advanced supercomputers,” explains BOINC-maker David Anderson on the website of Berkeley. “Mobile devices are the future in many different ways, for example, because their combined power can solve complex problems.”
BOINC for Android has recently download from Google Play for free. An iOS version is in the pipeline.
