GRID.ORG ™ - Grid Computing Projects - Home

Want to contribute to the greater good? Is your computer being used 100% of the time? (We can guarantee that you are not using 100% of your computer's CPU processing - none of us do)

Some people may be familiar with SETI@home, the project that used spare computer cycles to help search for radio signals from other planets. The project has been enormously successful in harnessing a bunch of unused computer power (although they have not yet found any little green men).

Well, there are now many many projects that you can contribute your unused computing power towards. Check out the projects on this site. The name comes from the concept of grid computing - many computers harnessed to provide enormous computing capacity.

Easy to get onto. And, yes, you might be the one to make a difference.
