Go to solution Solved by Godlygamer23,

BOINC is a project manager program. BOINC stands for: Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing. BOINC is not something like Folding@home, where they focus on a set of things. Rather BOINC Is much more open and is only a manager. You can do projects like Poem@home, Milkyway@home, SETI@home, etc.

There's MindModeling@home, FightMalaria@home, etc. But then BOINC also has projects like PrimeGrid which look for prime numbers, including the largest possible one.

I'm curious, do you know the actual application of such research?

No. I only know of the project's existence.

According to Dictionary.com: "A positive integer that is not divisible without remainder by any integer except itself and 1, with 1 often excluded."
