This is how it works 1) A nonprofit research institution, like Ohio State University, takes one HUGE scientific problem, like climate change, and breaks this one huge problem down into millions of tiny problems.
2) Then, when your computer's "brain" is idle, which is 90% of the time, your computer works on solving one of these tiny problems.
2 Steps to Help Save the World 1) Go to World Community Grid to learn more or to sign up. After registering, you’ll download a small, safe and secure IBM created program that does the scientific calculations when your computer is idle.
After registering on World Community Grid, click “Join Team” button.

Q: What type of projects will my computer be working on?
Q: What's the cost? A: FREE! We don't want one penny from you...just your computer's idle time.
Q: Won’t this slow my computer down? A: No! 90% of the time your computer’s “brain” or CPU is idle. During those times when your computer does need all of its “brain”, your computer will instantly and automatically stop working on the scientific problem. If you like, your computer will work on the scientific problem only when your screen saver is running. We’ll be happy to help you set this up if you wish.
Q: I don’t know much about science. What will I actually have to do? A: Once you install the safe secure IBM created software you will be participating in World Community Grid. No other action must be taken; it's that simple!
Q: Do I need to leave my computer on all of the time? A: No. Just use your computer like you always do. You don’t need to change anything. Join crunchers4life team
