BOINC client software

▣ SYSTEM OVERVIEW The BOINC client includes the following components

boinc - The BOINC core client.

BOINC Screensaver.

It can do three things: The overview screensaver displays general information, such as the BOINC status, a list of projects, etc. The project graphics display the graphics for one of the currently running tasks, e.g., SETI@home. However, many projects do not have screensaver graphics. The screensaver coordinator controls the screensaver, selecting either the default screensaver or project graphics.
