World Community Grid

World Community Grid - Donate Your Computers Time!

So a long time ago my dad used to run these programs called Seti@Home and World Community Grid. Basically they are different projects Help Conquer Cancer, African Climate@Home Discovering Dengue Drugs and more... I had run the programs a few years back, but was excited to see that they were still around! Help change the world by simply donating your computer's idle time. The last project I worked on was Help Cure Muscular Dystrophy in 2006.

So I was thinking we could add to the rugby blogosphere (or ruckosphere) and donate our computers idle time to whatever project you wanted. Read below more the technical information on the project and the download information:

World Community Grid's mission is to create the largest public computing grid benefiting humanity. Our work is built on the belief that technological innovation combined with visionary scientific research and large-scale volunteerism can change our world for the better. Our success depends on individuals - like you - collectively contributing their unused computer time to this not-for-profit endeavor.

 Donate the time your computer is turned on, but is idle, to projects that benefit humanity! We provide the secure software that does it all for free, and you become part of a community that is helping to change the world. Once you install the software, you will be participating in World Community Grid. No other action must be taken; it's that simple!
