World Community Grid

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) :
