Volunteer computing started in the mid-1990s with two groundbreaking projects, GIMPS (Great Internet Mersenne Prime Search) and distributed.net, in which tens of thousands of PCs work together on a single task. A couple of years later SETI@home and Folding@home started and attracted even more participants. (SETI, hosted by the Space Sciences Lab at U.C. Berkeley, is dedicated to the search for extraterrestrial intelligence. Folding@home is hosted by Stanford University and studies protein folding, a biochemical process with implications for fighting disease.)
