Currently BOINC is being developed by a team based at the University of California, Berkeley led by David Anderson, the project director of SETI@home — a project which uses this software.
The intent of BOINC is to make it possible for researchers in areas as diverse as molecular biology, climatology, and astrophysics to tap into the enormous but under-utilized calculating power of personal computers world-wide.
BOINC is simply the information technology infrastructure for distributing work in the form of work units and downloading the distributed applications that process them.
