No? Well check it out. This is a non-profit organization, whose mission is to create the largest public computing grid benefiting humanity. This grid computer has processing power that rivals the largest super computer. This allows scientists to solve problems that will aide humanity.

The best part is, that anyone can help. You simply, install a screen saver and donate your idle computer time.

Here is a short list of projects that are active as of this writing.

  • The Clean Energy Project
  • Nutritious Rice for the World
  • Help Conquer Cancer
  • Discovering Dengue Drugs – Together
  • Human Proteome Folding – Phase 2 Project
  • FightAIDS@Home Project

I am a proud donator of computing power to the World Community Grid. Here are a few of my stats.

Help Conquer Cancer

Do you know someone who has been effected by cancer? I recently lost my father-in-law to lung cancer. If you have been effected directly or indirectly by cancer, then Join The Grid Now!

Please join the grid and change the world. If you start donating computing power as a result of this article, then please join my team. NCC-1701
