3楼的:
AFRICA@home addresses these problems by providing a common framework for volunteer computing projects that focus on African needs.
AFRICA@home通过提供一个聚焦于非洲需求的志愿者计算项目的通用框架来解决这些问题。
建议“聚焦”改成“关注”
谢谢,已更改!

What is volunteer computing?
什么是志愿者计算项目?
Volunteer computing is based on the idea that most privately owned computers are idle most of the time, and could be used during their idle time to solve scientific or engineering problems that require large amounts of computer power.
志愿者计算项目基于这样一种认识:绝大多数私人拥有的电脑在绝大多数时间是空闲的,在它们空闲时可以用于解决一些需要大量计算能力的科学和工程问题。
The basic model is that the volunteers download software from the web that will do the scientific calculations. Typically this software works as a screensaver program, and every so often the program will ask the application to upload results and download more data to be processed.
它的基本的模式是:志愿者从网站上下载进行科学计算所需的程序。通常这个程序以屏幕保护程序的形式出现,每过一定时间程序将自动上传结果并下载更多数据以供计算。
Volunteer computing is also sometimes called public resource computing, internet computing, network computing, cycle scavenging, or "@home" computing. There are many volunteer computing projects in existence today, but by far the most popular is SETI@home.
志愿者计算有时也被称做公众资源计算,因特网计算,网络计算,循环清扫,或“@home"计算。当前存在着许多志愿者计算项目,但是到目前为止,最热门的项目是SETI@home项目。
Based at the University of California - Berkeley, SETI@home is a volunteer computing project which analyses the data of the Arecibo radio telescope in Puerto Rico, searching for signs of extraterrestrial intelligence. SETI@home has been downloaded by more than 5 million PCs around the world, and has already used the equivalent of more than 1 million years of PC processing power.
由加利福尼亚Berkeley大学主持的SETI@home项目是一个对位于Puerto Rico的Arecibo射电望远镜传来的信号数据进行分析,以搜寻外星智慧存在迹象的信号的志愿者计算项目。SETI@home已经被世界上超过5百万的电脑下载,并且项目已经使用了等同于1百万多年的电脑分析能力。

What is BOINC?
什么是BOINC?
In 2003, the team behind SETI@home launched BOINC (Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing), a general-purpose open-source platform which allows scientists to adapt their applications to volunteer computing. The BOINC team is based at the Space Sciences Laboratory (SSL), at the University of California at Berkeley.
在2003年,主持SETI@home项目的小组启动了BONIC(Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing)项目——一个可以使科学家将他们的研究更适合于志愿者计算的通用开放源代码的框架。BOINC小组位于加利福尼亚Berkeley大学太空科学实验室(SSL)。
BOINC is a program which makes it possible to subscribe to one or more projects of volunteer computing. Once BOINC is installed on your computer, it downloads the data to be treated from a BOINC server, which is typically run by the scientific group who have developed the particular application you are interesting in running.
BOINC是一个使同时订阅一个或多个志愿者计算项目变为可能的程序。在BOINC被安装在您的电脑上后,它会从BOINC服务器上下载您正在运行的程序所需的数据,这些程序由某些科学团体开发并主持。
Once the data are treated, BOINC sends them back to the BOINC server, then downloads new data. BOINC allows you to run several different applications, allocating different percentages of your free computer time to each. There are many other features which allow you to adapt BOINC to your personal interests and computing environment. The use of BOINC is voluntary and free of charge.
一旦数据被处理好,BOINC会将它们送回BOINC服务器,接着下载新的数据。BOINC允许你同时运行几个不同的程序,并将你电脑的空闲时间按不同的百分比分配给每个程序。还有许多特点使BOINC能够适应你的个人喜好和计算环境。对BOINC的使用是自愿且没有任何费用的。
By November 2005, there were eight applications running on BOINC, including ClimatePrediction.net, studying climate change, and Predictor@home, investigating protein-related diseases. IBM.s World Community Grid, which is running a human proteome folding project, has launched a Linux client for this application based on BOINC.
截止到2005年11月,已有8个程序运行在BOINC上,包括ClimatePrediction.net(研究气象变迁),Predictor@home(研究与蛋白质相关的疾病)。IBM.s World Community Grid(正在运行human proteome folding项目)已为该程序开发了一个基于BOINC的Linux客户端。
