Grid.org is a single destination site for large-scale research projects powered by the United Devices Global MetaProcessor. From the Cancer Research Project sponsored by Intel and the University of Oxford to the Anthrax Research Project sponsored by Intel and Microsoft, the Global MetaProcessor @ grid.org has been put to use for research and analysis projects of groundbreaking scope. With the participation of over 2 million devices worldwide, grid.org projects driven by the Global MetaProcessor have achieved record levels of speed and success in processing data.

How it works
The Global MetaProcessor @ grid.org is a virtual supercomputer that can be harnessed to power computational research and analysis projects on a massive scale. By combining millions of online CPUs worldwide to work on extremely large computational projects, problems can be solved more quickly and less expensively than by conventional methods. Now any networked computer can help fuel research and projects that previously may have required a bank of supercomputers or a hundred years to complete.

Join grid.org and make a difference.
To become a member of grid.org and participate in these important projects, simply download a free, non-invasive software program that works as a screensaver. It runs when your computer has idle processing time. Your computer never leaves your desk and the project never interrupts your normal PC use.

Grid.org lets you make a real difference without donating money or time, with the system that you are using to view this site right now-your home or office PC.

To myself and alot of other people this is way more important than running SETI@home. If you feel the same and want to help advance medical research please join our ieXbeta Team I have made: http://www.grid.org/services/teams/team.ht...30-8599AC876412

Anybody else up for making this a 10K member team and whooping other teams out there? :lol:

If you think it's a waste of time, well I hope you or any family don't get cancer.

Well, I hope you can understand why I chose to switch to this instead. Cancer runs in my family, I have many friends and have met many people that have it in the family and have had a form of it themselves. And I have a genetic condition myself with my kidneys.

'cause I was already an active member, so I just dropped my old, abandoned team from college and switched to the ieXbeta Team.
