The BladeZone World Community Grid Team
The BladeZone World Community Grid Team
consists of users who are also fans of the movie Blade Runner,
undertaking projects that benefit humanity.
World Community Grid is an IBM sponsored philanthropic initiative,
started in November of 2004. Its purpose is to create the world's
largest public computing grid for running research projects that
benefit humanity.
About World Community Grid
World Community Grid is making technology available only to public and
not-for-profit organizations to use in humanitarian research that might
otherwise not be completed due to the high cost of the computer
infrastructure required in the absence of a public grid. As part of our
commitment to advancing human welfare, all results will be in the
public domain and made public to the global research community.
How Grid Technology Works
Making a difference has never been easier! Grid technology is
simple and safe to use. To start, you download and install a small
program or "agent" onto your computer.
When idle, your computer will request data on a specific project
from World Community Grid's server. It will then perform computations
on this data, send the results back to the server, and ask the server
for a new piece of work. Each computation that your computer performs
provides scientists with critical information that accelerates the pace
of research!
