IBM World Community Grid

Hello everyone, hope you are well today! Inspired by a post I read on Tony Burgess’s post, “The Thing About: The Virus“, I thought about various efforts to help find a cure and treatment for COVID-19.

IBM’s World Community Grid allows anyone with a computer, smartphone, or tablet to donate their unused processing power to advance scientific research on various topics ranging from health, poverty and sustainability. I’ve been a member for several years. It’s neat when I take a step away to eat lunch or a jog, my computer is playing a part in helping perform calculations for AIDS research.

  1. Wow this is such a great and unique way to empower the researchers. Thanks for sharing this knowledge. I am sure many people had no clue about this. This is the sole reason why I love being on WordPress so much. I get to learn new things everyday and also contribute in my own little way.

    Best wishes from The Strong Traveller and have a great day.
