Today's powerful processors are barely taxed by surfing the web, working in a word processor, or even watching an HD video. The typical home PC spends the vast majority of its time doing nothing. Whose computers? Yours! Put simply, it's a lot cheaper for a research organization to split the work up between millions of small computers (especially ones they don't have to pay for!) than it is to pony up the millions of dollars for their own supercomputer/computing cluster! You may have heard of the original worldwide phenomenon known as ( Wikipedia), which uses the power of millions of personal computers which each analyze tiny chunks of signal data from radio telescopes for potential signs of intelligent extraterrestrial life.
