This is a comprehensive list of volunteer computing projects; a type of distributed computing where volunteers donate computing time to specific causes. The donated computing power comes from idle CPUs and GPUs in personal computers, video game consoles [1] and Android devices. Each project seeks to utilize the computing power of many internet ...
Computer science is the study of computation, information, and automation. [1][2][3] Computer science spans theoretical disciplines (such as algorithms, theory of computation, and information theory) to applied disciplines (including the design and implementation of hardware and software). [4][5][6] Algorithms and data structures are central to ...
Software engineering is an engineering approach to software development. [ 1 ][ 2 ][ 3 ] A practitioner, called a software engineer, applies the engineering design process to develop software. The terms programmer and coder overlap software engineer, but they imply only the construction aspect of typical software engineer workload.
Scrum is an agile team collaboration framework commonly used in software development and other industries. Scrum prescribes for teams to break work into goals to be completed within time-boxed iterations, called sprints. Each sprint is no longer than one month and commonly lasts two weeks. The scrum team assesses progress in time-boxed, stand ...

Former vice president of Industrial Light & Magic and co-founder of and former president of Pixar.
The top computer science award is the ACM Turing Award, generally regarded as the Nobel Prize equivalent for Computer Science. [1] Other highly regarded top computer science awards include IEEE John von Neumann Medal awarded by the IEEE Board of Directors, and the Japan Kyoto Prize for Information Science.
Adaptive Vehicle Make was a project overseen by DARPA to crowdsource the design and manufacture of a new armored vehicle. Air Quality Eggs by WickedDevices are open-source hardware Internet of Things pollution monitors that facilitate citizen crowdsourcing of air quality readings. Amara is a website that enables crowdsourced translations of ...
Alice is an object-based educational programming language with an integrated development environment (IDE). Alice uses a drag and drop environment to create computer animations using 3D models. The software was developed first at University of Virginia in 1994, then Carnegie Mellon (from 1997), by a research group led by Randy Pausch.
