Abstract
In this paper, a combination between volunteer computing and crowdsourcing is presented. Two paradigms of the web computing are described, analyzed and compared in detail: grid computing and volunteer computing. Characteristics of BOINC and its contribution to global Internet processing are shown with the stress put onto applications the system can facilitate and problems it can solve. An alternative instance of a grid computing system, elaborated at the Gdansk University of Technology - the system Comcute, is presented with its abilities of distributed processing highlighted and practical examples of various applications demonstrated.
