Unified Solutions Ltd. supports the World Community
Grid
Millions of personal computers
sit idly on desks and in homes and offices worldwide. While
computer owners run useless screen savers, sickness,
hunger or environmental disasters devastate whole communities.
Unified shares a vision in which each of the world's estimated 1
billion computers can be linked while they are idle to create a
hugely powerful computing resource that can be put to use
conducting vital research into humanity's most pressing
issues?
To make this vision a reality, Unified Solutions Ltd.
has become a partner of World Community Grid, joining the IBM
Corporation and a group of more than 400 companies, associations,
foundations, non-profit organisations, government agencies and
academic institutions. Unified Solutions Ltd. is
encouraging our staff and customers to contribute their
idle PC time to assist humanitarian research by joining World
Community Grid at http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/
and becoming a member of the Unified Solutions Ltd. team.
World Community Grid uses grid
technology to establish a permanent, flexible infrastructure that
provides researchers with a readily available pool of computational
power that can be used to solve problems plaguing humanity. Grid
technology joins together many individual computers, creating a
large system with massive computational power that far exceeds the
power of a few supercomputers. Importantly, World Community Grid is
easy and safe to use.
To join, you simply go to www.worldcommunitygrid.org
and download and install a free, small software program . When
idle, your computers request data from World Community Grid's
server. Computers then perform computations using this data, send
the results back to the server and prompt it for a new piece of
work.
"World Community Grid provides every one of us with an
efficient and effective way to make a difference on problems that
concern us all." said Tim Chalklen, Managing Director of Unified.
"We are asking Unified's Customers to join us in
supporting World Community Grid as part of our overall efforts to
enrich the lives of our communities."
Today, hundreds of thousand of
volunteers around the globe are donating the time when their
computers are on but not in use, and World Community Grid is
harnessing this power to help advance promising humanitarian
research projects. Results on critical health issues have already
been achieved, demonstrating World Community Grid's potential to
make significant inroads on a great range of future projects that
can benefit the world.
You can start making a difference today. Please go to www.worldcommunitygrid.org
