GridRepublic

What is GridRepublic?

The GridRepublic software provides a streamlined interface for individuals to participate in volunteer computing projects that support public-interest research. Upon installation, the software connects to the GridRepublic account manager, enabling users to join and manage their involvement in BOINC-based research initiatives without complex setup. When users' computers are idle, the GridRepublic screensaver activates, allowing the devices to contribute computing power to these research projects, without impacting the performance of the host machines. By harnessing the collective idle resources of users worldwide, GridRepublic aggregates a massive virtual supercomputer to advance important scientific endeavors
