Today I want to introduce WCG (to whom does not know so far).
First, why world community ? "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." Source : WCG's home page
Second, it's a grid ("Grid computing is an emerging computing model that distributes processing across a parallel infrastructure. Throughput is increased by networking many heterogeneous resources across administrative boundaries to model a virtual computer architecture." Source : Wikipedia)
I kindly ask you folks who may donate your idle computer time to this project. It was good to know that I could help, among other projects, in Help Defeat Cancer Project.
Let me show to you my team figures on Feb 23rd (Brasil) :
Current Members 307 (#35)
Retired Members 23
All-Time Members 330
Total Run Time (y:d:h:m:s) (Rank) 54:343:13:50:01 (#111)
Points Generated (Rank) 14,061,399 (#118)
Results Returned (Rank) 54,055 (#119)
enjoy !

I used to participate on SETI@home - which uses grid computing to process radio signals from space, looking for messages from the universe and intelligent life somewhere else.
Unfortunately, we can't donate the idle computer time at work...
But I can explain you about our internal grid computing scheme, if you want.
