Hey guys,
I've hang around the interwebs for some time, and found a website that sends research data to your PC to analyze and calculate, some researches include mapping Cancer markers or some research data to fight aids. It is very important work, and would be great if more people could join in and help out!
More info? see:
worldcommunitygrid.org
I gain nothing for this, and you won't either. But you will help out a lot of researchers.
It works this way:
1. You sign up using this link (my referral link):

2. After registering, you can select the projects where you want to take part in (I joined the "Mapping cancer markers").
3. You install a program designed to receive and calculate the research data (Its supported, mostly build and greatly funded by IBM so it's safe).
4. You open the program and log in
5. When you're done using the pc (disable the automatic sleep mode on your pc, or download an automatic move moving program) and open the downloaded program.
6. The pc will now use all of its free CPU & GPU power to analyze and calculate the research data.
That's all there is to it.
Note:
The program and its use is of course free, but your PC might heat up more than usual and since you leave your pc on longer, it will also use more electricity.
Double note:
There is an option to form a team, if you are serious about this and want to join up with me, go here:
