Background Compute
About
Background Compute is the next stage in the Background Pi release cycle. Starting once again from the ground up we hope to make a next generation piece of software. Programmed in JAVA, this version will be cross-platform meaning it will run on nearly any platform (Windows, MAC, Linux, ...).
Not only will it be able to compute pi, it will also be able to contribute to a variety of other projects as well. Once in beta, we will attempt to join with SETI@Home and Folding@Home as well as investigate other projects.
GOAL: Rival BOINC.
