List of distributed computing projects

This is a list of distributed computing and grid computing projects. For each project, donors volunteer computing time from personal computers to a specific cause. This donated computing power comes typically from CPUs and GPUs. Folding@home once also harnessed the power of PlayStation 3s.^[1] Each project seeks to solve a problem which is difficult or infeasible to tackle using other methods.
