Amoeba Music Joins
World Community Grid
Join with Us!

Millions of computers sit idly on desks and in homes worldwide. During this idle time, serious humanitarian challenges continue to elude us. What if each of the world's estimated 650 million PCs and Macs could be linked to focus on humanity's most pressing issues?

World Community Grid will address global humanitarian issues, such as:

  • New and existing infectious disease research: Researching cures for HIV and AIDS, Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), malaria, and others.
  • Genomic and disease research: The Human Proteome Folding project-World Community Grid's first project-seeks to help identify the functions of the proteins that are coded by human genes.
  • The environment, natural disasters, and hunger: World Community Grid applications can help researchers and scientists with earthquake predictions, improving crop yields and evaluating the supply of critical natural resources like water.

To make this vision a reality, Amoeba Music has become a partner of World Community Grid and is encouraging visitors to contribute their idle computer time to World Community Grid at: www.worldcommunitygrid.org.
