This paper describes how it is possible to increase GP Computing Power via Volunteer Computing (VC) using the BOINC framework. Two experiments using well-known GP tools -Lil-gp & ECJ- are performed in order to demonstrate the benefit of using VC in terms of computing power and speed up. Finally we present an extension of the model where any GP tool or framework can be used inside BOINC regardless of its programming language, complexity or required operating system.
