- 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-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-client-nvidia-cuda: metapackage for CUDA-savvy BOINC client and 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.
.
Regular users (righteously) often find it an unbearable nuisance to
care for the exact configuration of BOINC for CUDA-savvy graphics
cards. This package adds a series of dependencies from the non-free
section to the regular boinc package. This also meant this binary
package to be redistributed in the contrib section of Debian.
- boinc-client-opencl: metapackage for AMD/ATI OpenCL-savvy BOINC client and 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

.
Regular users (righteously) often find it an unbearable nuisance to
care for the configuration of BOINC for the OpenCL-savvy AMD/ATI
graphics cards. This package adds a series of dependencies from the
non-free section to the regular boinc package. This also meant this
binary package to be redistributed in the contrib section of Debian.
- boinc-dev: development files to build applications for BOINC projects (transitional)
Dummy transitional package helping the transition of a split of
architecture-independent development files and the architecture- dependent
dynamic libraries. Static libraries are no longer redistributed.
- boinc-manager: GUI to control and monitor the BOINC core client
The Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing (BOINC) is a
software platform for distributed computing using volunteered computer
resources.
.
This package contains the BOINC Manager, a graphical monitor and
control utility for the BOINC core client. It gives a detailed
overview of the state of the client it is monitoring, as there are
* attached projects
* running tasks
* file transfers between the client and project servers
* statistics about granted credits and disk usage for every project
* constraints on CPU usage
The BOINC Manager has two modes of operation, the "Simple View" in which
it only displays the most important information and the "Advanced View"
in which all information and all control elements are available.
.
For active participation in any BOINC project the recommended
boinc-client package, not the boinc-manager, is required for every
machine contributing.

- boinc-screensaver: screen saver auto-controlling volunteer computing
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.
.
The BOINC client is configurable by the command line or the BOINC
manager's GUI to compute with any range between 0% and 100% of
available resources, and to change that ratio to a higher after
some user determined duration of inactivity. There is now quite
a number of individuals who prefer to have everything presented
with their accustomed principle for setting and choosing a screen
saver. Upon inactivity, the BOINC client is started, and stopped
again when the user is back. To save the screen, it then shows
the graphical progress indication as optionally shown also by
the manager.
.
This package is excellent to further promote BOINC, recalling the
effect SETI@Home once had in the Cambridge, UK, CB2 Cybercafe.
Just, when using it together with the regular BOINC client setup,
it is suggested not to have all CPUs used to avoid multiple
processes running on the same core.

- boinc-virtualbox: metapackage for virtualbox-savvy projects
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.
.
Regular users (righteously) often find it an unbearable nuisance to
care for the exact configuration of BOINC for virtualbox-based projects.
This package adds a series of dependencies from the contrib
section to the regular boinc package. This also meant this binary
package to be redistributed in the contrib section of Debian.
- libboinc-app-dev: development files to build applications for BOINC projects
The Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing (BOINC) is a
software platform for distributed computing using volunteered computer
resources.
.
This package contains header files that are needed to develop and
compile applications which utilizes the BOINC infrastructure.
- libboinc-app7: libraries for BOINC's scientific applications
The Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing (BOINC) is a
software platform for distributed computing using volunteered computer
resources.
.
This package contains dynamic libraries that are needed for applications
which utilizes the BOINC infrastructure and the boinc-client itself.
- libboinc-app7-dbgsym: debug symbols for libboinc-app7
- libboinc7: libraries of BOINC the client depends on
The Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing (BOINC) is a
software platform for distributed computing using volunteered computer
resources.
.
The environment offers a series of libraries that both the user-run
client and the client-invoked scientific applications depend on. With
the number of cores per machine growing, and with scientific apps
commonly started for every core, it is essential to have memory
shared as much as possible between binaries of all projects.
