+BOINC is designed to handle streams of millions of jobs.
+However, you can also submit single jobs for remote execution.
+To do this, configure your BOINC server to handle single jobs (see below).
+Then type
+{{{
+boinc_job [boinc-options] program [program-options]
+}}}
+The boinc-options are:
+
+ '''--infile name''':: specifies an input file.
+ '''--stdin name''':: direct the given file to the program's stdin.
+ '''--outfile name''':: specifies an output file.
+ '''--stdout name''':: the program's stdout will be directed to the given file.
+ '''--platform''':: the program is to be run on the given [[BoincPlatform platform]] (default: i686-pc-linux-gnu).
+
+You can include as many --infile and --outfile options as you want,
+and at most one of others.
+
+The '''program-options''' will be passed as command-line arguments to the program
+when it runs on the remote machine.
+
+If the program requires any non-standard libraries, it should link these statically.
+Otherwise it will fail to run on machines that lack these libraries.
+
+When the job is completed successfully, the output files will appear in the job directory.
+
+== Configuring BOINC for single jobs ==
+
+Add the following to your project.xml file:
+{{{
+    <app>
+        <name>single_job_i686-pc-linux-gnu</name>
+        <user_friendly_name>Single jobs for Linux</user_friendly_name>
+    </app>
+}}}
+and run [ToolsXadd xadd].
