RE: What Is BOINC and How Even You Can Help to Find a Cure for Cancer
This is really fascinating. I think I read somewhere recently that a BOINC app for Android has been developed too. So now you can support scientific research even with your smart phone or tablet.
Yes this is true - BOINC can be installed also on android devices from play store. However not all projects can be run on android.
Hi @goatman, how reliable is it to run BOINC using smartphone?
Hi, actually I run BOINC only on my PC. I haven't tried it on Android because my smartphone is too old :)
You can check http://boinc.berkeley.edu/wiki/Android_FAQ
Noted. I will read on it. I plan to use my laptop as my main. I seldom use it so might as well use it for good reasons. Thanks for your reply.
Do you have any favorite projects already? :)
Right now I'm looking at OpenZika, Help Stop TB, and or DNA@Home. We have cases of Zika here in Singapore while my mother had TB before, so I can relate to those two. For the DNA@Home, I'm interested to learn more about it😊 Tonight I will start to install BOINC and will be following your articles about it.
