BOINC (Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing)

https://boinc.berkeley.edu/

For science gateways that offer high-throughput computing services, BOINC lets them use volunteer computing to get computing power. This increases the visibility of the gateway to the general public as well as increasing computing capacity at little cost. Adding volunteer computing as a standard component of SGCI-supported science gateway software would add utility and benefit scientists.

As of October 2017, BOINC is being integrated with the HUBzero software and with Launcher, which is used by other gateways. Eventually we would like to have BOINC available as a "plug and play" option in all widely-used gateway software frameworks; we would help with this integration.
