Could this get some support from MSE and members

savemoney

I set up a team for MSE to help find a cure for many health issues

You basically download a program to number crunch with spare cpu cycles it doesn't have to take all your computer up

Just hoping MSE'ers and MSE can support the team I set up or start official one

If it isnt MSE wish I can change name its no big deal

name changed to MoneySavingExpert[unofficial]

Come on guys come and join this

This is what it is doing to help fight

I run my pc around 16 hours a day even 2 hours a day for a few days at most would help compute a project

Only one MSE'ser has joined the unofficial MSE team, we need more or maybe official MSE team and get some result for this worth while cause

Grid Computing: The Basics

Grid computing joins together many individual computers, creating a large system with massive computational power that far surpasses the power of a handful of supercomputers. Because the work is split into small pieces that can be processed simultaneously, research time is reduced from years to months. The technology is also more cost-effective, enabling better use of critical funds.


Changing Our World Now
Grid computing is not a futuristic technology. World Community Grid is at work right now applying this technology to exciting research projects that can benefit us all.

Our first project, Human Proteome Folding, is identifying the proteins produced by human genes. With this information, scientists can understand how defects in proteins can cause disease, making it easier to find cures.

In 2003, with grid computing, in less than three months scientists identified 44 potential treatments to fight the deadly smallpox disease. Without the grid, the work would have taken more than one year to complete.

Hope some peeps can join, anything that can speed up research into many human problems can only be a good thing

Yes I just wish more people who participate it doesn't costs anything and sues a small amount of bandwidth you dont have to have computer one 24/7 just do normal stuff and let it run in background you can always pause it if you run a game
