United Way and IBM's World Community Grid


Since United Way Capital Area’s World Community Grid team was formed on July 13, 2005, and began assisting the IBM World Community Grid, our organization has “donated” ten years and 108 days of computer run time to various research projects.

Each day, United Way Capital Area PCs generate more than 2.5 days’ worth of computing time!

IBM’s World Community Grid utilizes personal computers around the world
, compressing thousands of years of computer time. UTMB researchers are using the grid to identify chemical compounds–a process that can speed drug development.
