World Community Grid distributed computing harnesses the power of thousands of personal computers to create the equivalent of many supercomputers. The angel site donates unused computer cycles to contribute to research that is crucial to understanding how cancers can be treated and someday cured.

The grid software is a small download that is easily installed and that the user can choose to run as a screensaver or all the time in the background. When run in the background it will always back off and let your applications have priority, so it won't slow you down a bit. You can also select the maximum percentage of CPU cycles the program may use if you wish and there are other options that let you choose when and how much you want to contribute.

It's a great way for PC users to join together to make a big difference- and it costs you nothing! To get started visit World Community Grid.
