Making a difference with World Community Grid!

June 16, 2008

Do you leave your computer running 24/7? If you said yes! Please consider donating your computers idle time to the World Community Grid Project!

The WCG project was started in 2004 and is funded by IBM with client support for Windows, Linux, Mac OS X and FreeBSD.

The WCG project is partnering with over 350 companies and organizations currently helping scientist find a cure for some of the worlds most debilitating diseases.

How it works:

The World Community Grid software uses the idle time of Internet-connected computers to perform research calculations. Users install WCG client software onto their computers. This software works in the background, using spare system resources to process work for WCG. When a piece of work or workunit is completed, the client software sends it back to WCG over the Internet and downloads a new workunit. To ensure accuracy, the WCG servers send out multiple copies of each workunit. Then, when the results are received, they are collected and validated against each other. ~ wikipedia
