This is a comprehensive list of volunteer computing projects, which are 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.
This list of citizen science projects involves projects that engage all age groups. There are projects specifically aimed at the younger age demographic like iTechExplorers [ 7 ] which was created by a 14 year old in the UK to assess the effects of bedtime technology on the body's circadian rhythm and can be completed in a classroom setting.
These projects attempt to make large physical computation infrastructures available for researchers to use: 3G Bridge An open-source core job bridging component between different grid infrastructures. Berkeley NOW Project. Debian Cluster Components. [7] DiaGrid grid computing network centered at Purdue University. NESSI-GRID.

This is a list of open-source hardware projects, including computer systems and components, cameras, radio, telephony, science education, machines and tools, robotics, renewable energy, home automation, medical and biotech, automotive, prototyping, test equipment, and musical instruments.
The project successfully released over 6500 items and stories online, which can be freely downloaded and used for education and research. The project was funded by the Joint Information Systems Committee. In 2011, the team at the University of Oxford received further funding from Europeana to run a similar crowdsourcing initiative in Germany.
The first volunteer computing project was the Great Internet Mersenne Prime Search, which started in January 1996. [4] It was followed in 1997 by distributed.net.In 1997 and 1998, several academic research projects developed Java-based systems for volunteer computing; examples include Bayanihan, [5] Popcorn, [6] Superweb, [7] and Charlotte.
