How You Can Help
As a World Community Grid volunteer, you download a secure software program to your computer. And when your computer is idle or not using its full computing power, it will run a simulated experiment in the background. Then, your computer contacts the World Community Grid server to let it know that it has completed the simulation, which is then uploaded to our server. All of this happens unobtrusively, while you are going about your regular activities such as typing an email, browsing the internet, or while your computer is idle but left on.
World Community Grid receives the results you send back (often called work units or research tasks), combines them with hundreds of thousands of results from other volunteers all over the world, and sends them to the Delft research team. The researchers then begin the difficult work of analyzing the data. While this process can take years, it accelerates that would otherwise take decades, or might even be impossible.
"This is the first time we'll be able to map most of Africa for a whole rainy season, which has never been done before at this level of resolution," says Professor Nick van de Giesen, principal investigator for the Africa Rainfall Project.
