Projects run all year round, Tasks lasting from around 15 minutes to a few days..
Such work accomplishes the aim of advancing medicine, Astronomy & physics..
Chemistry & Industrial design or maths.

With vast potential sources of volunteers (For example universities & NGO)
Computation potential could be vast:

In truth many members try very hard for boinc research projects..
Events such as Boinc THOR FR do indeed draw professional servers into play!
Amazon cloud, Microsoft cloud & google..

Projects like Cern & WCG do indeed have mainframes at the service for many great projects,
Participating universities compete for resources on the world grid..

IBM & other corporations achieve much.
