World Community Grid

By | News | No Comments

Hi everyone,

I posted this a year or so back but wanted to re-post it again. Wanted to invite everyone to participate in the World Community Grid. Basically they use grid computing to help solve some of the world greatest problems such as cancer, clean energy, clean water, AIDS and mapping genomes. You get to choose what projects your computer works on, which I think is fairly cool. There’s a good description here.

I have created a Tuor Team (Tuor Networks Inc) and I’d love for anyone to join it if they can. It does use up some processing power, but from what I have seen it’s not intrusive at all. Team link is here.

I’m really behind this, I think it’s a great way to help the world.
