  1. A program running on a volunteer's computer periodically contacts a research application server via the Internet to request jobs and report results. Volunteer computing is a type of distributed computing in which people donate their computers' unused resources to a research-oriented project, and sometimes in exchange for credit points.

    This is a comprehensive list of volunteer computing projects; a type of distributed computing where volunteers donate computing time to specific causes. The donated computing power comes from idle CPUs and GPUs in personal computers, video game consoles and Android devices .
    1. Introduction Volunteer computing (VC) is a form of distributed computing, which allows public participants to share their idle computing resources and helps run computationally expensive projects ( Volunteer computing, 2013, Desell et al., 2009, Watanabe et al., 2011 ).
    The first volunteer computing project was GIMPS (Great Internet Mersenne Prime Search), which started in 1995. Other early projects include distributed.net , SETI@home, and Folding@home . Today there are over 30 active projects.
    Many existing volunteer computing platforms consist of millions of users, providing huge amount of memory and processing. Since the rapid growth in the volunteer computing projects, more researchers have been attracted to study and improve the existing volunteer computing system.
