I don't understand why they haven't incorporated something like this into BOINC. I suppose the bottleneck could be collecting the data in place of processing it, though.

Berkely Open Infrastructure for Network Computing. It's what now powers SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) and a few other projects that require a massive amount of computations.
