The main characteristic needed is that most of the steps needed for the project come in collections that can be done in any order or even several at once, without disturbing the other steps in that collection. For example, there must be a strong restriction on steps that require the output of a previous step.
One of the simplest projects of that kind I've seen is finding new prime numbers. The projects I've seen doing that include both PrimeGrid and ibercivis. http://www.primegrid.com/ Prime Grid has the most variety. http://www.ibercivis.es/ http://www.ibercivis.net/index.php?module=public§ion=channels&action=view&id_channel=3&id_subchannel=33 ibercivis isn't fully translated into English yet; for example, I haven't seen a translated description of their Wilson primes subproject. If enough memory is available, you can run multiple copies of the application software at once, each working from a different starting point, even if the application software cannot use multiple processor cores at once any other way.
