World Community Grid

There is a good chance to contribute your idle computing time to fight diseases. It takes only couple of secs to join.
You can join a world-wide computing grid. Then you can pick-up your favorite team to contribute together. There is advanced settings panel you can configure you connection time the way it does not hamper your daily work.

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!
