I'm going to let you sift out what you want, because the BOINC project has almost all the information you'll need: http://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/wiki/SoftwareDevelopment.

Write code.

I have a bunch of algorithms I'd like to run, testing various parameters, using something like the distributed model of bitcoins (without hashing or security) so that when I'm not mining, I can use the HP of my rig to crunch numbers.
Any good pointers on how to get started on something like this? What I'm mainly looking for is two things:
1. How to interface with OpenCL (which I can likely get from AMD).
2. How to make it a distributed model where a central server says something like the following:
return_data[tag] = run_on_network_cluster(my_function(), param1, param2, param3, param4, ...);
So that I can collate all the data in the end and sort it at the end. EG., each run will have a unique output.
Ok, so just one thing. ;-)
Thanks.
