Do all volunteer grid computing projects use BOINC?
Nope. For example, Folding@home, a volunteer computing project out of Stanford University that seeks to reveal the mysteries of the protein folding process for the sake of battling diseases, started up before BOINC was around. But “pretty much all projects since 2004 use BOINC,” Anderson says. And that includes SETI@home, which pre-dates BOINC, but transitioned to it.
