Join World Community Grid as part of the Netlink Group team today!
Millions of personal computers sit idly on desks and in homes worldwide. As they wait, every hour hundreds of people contract and die from infectious diseases. While computer owners run their screen savers, millions die from hunger, or environmental disasters devastate whole communities. What if each of the worlds estimated 1 billion computers could be linked to focus on humanity's most pressing issues?
To make this vision a reality, Netlink Group has become a partner of World Community Grid, joining the IBM Corporation and a group of more than 395 companies, associations, foundations, nonprofits, government agencies and academic institutions. Netlink Group is encouraging members of the community to contribute their idle PC time to assist humanitarian research by joining World Community Grid at www.worldcommunitygrid.org and becoming a member of the Netlink Group team.
To join, individuals should go to www.worldcommunitygrid.org and simply download and install a free, small software program on their computers. When idle, your computers request data from World Community Grid's server. Computers then perform computations using this data, send the results back to the server and prompt it for a new piece of work.
