How Science United allocates resources

Science United maintains a set of BOINC projects to which it assigns volunteer computers. For now, all science projects vetted by BOINC are included in this set, and they have equal allocations. Eventually the selection of science projects, and the allocation of computing power among them, will be determined by a committee of scientists.

If you are a scientist considering using BOINC, please contact us. It may be possible for us to guarantee inclusion of your project, and to provide an estimate of the computing power it will receive.
The Project

Science United is being developed at UC Berkeley under the direction of David P. Anderson, the founder of BOINC. The project is funded by the National Science Foundation under awards 1550601 and 1664190. Once these awards are completed, we plan to move Science United to a community-based model.
Software

The Science United software is distributed under the LGPL v3 license. It is hosted on Github.
