LHC@home

LHC stands for Large Hadron Collider. It will be the largest and most powerful particle accelerator ever built. LHC@home helps the construction of LHC. It simulates how the particles travel trough the 27 km long tunnel. With the help of the calculated information, the magnets that control the beam can be calibrated with greater precision. LHC@home was created by, and is based at, CERN, which is located in Geneva, Switzerland.

BOINC is a software platform for distributed computing using volunteer computer resources, and provides the framework for SETI@home and other projects. It is based at the Space Sciences Laboratory at the University of California, Berkeley.
