World Community Grid
World Community Grid (WCG) is an effort to create the world's largest public computing grid to tackle scientific research projects that benefit humanity.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=About Us )〕 Launched on November 16, 2004, it is co-ordinated by IBM with client software currently available for Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, and Android operating systems.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=get_project_config.php )〕
Using the idle time of computers around the world, World Community Grid's research projects have analyzed aspects of the human genome, HIV, dengue, muscular dystrophy, cancer, influenza, Ebola, virtual screening, rice crop yields, and clean energy. As of October 2014, the organization has partnered with 466 other companies and organizations to assist in its work, and has over 60,000 active registered users.〔〔
==History==
In 2003, IBM and other research participants sponsored the ''Smallpox Research Grid Project'' to accelerate the discovery of a cure for smallpox.〔("IBM builds grid for smallpox research" ). ComputerWeekly.com. 2003-02-06. Retrieved 2014-04-28.〕 The smallpox study used a massive distributed computing grid to analyze compounds' effectiveness against smallpox. The project allowed scientists to screen 35 million potential drug molecules against several smallpox proteins to identify good candidates for developing into smallpox treatments. In the first 72 hours, 100,000 results were returned. By the end of the project, 44 strong treatment candidates had been identified. Based on the success of the Smallpox study, IBM announced on the creation of World Community Grid on November 16, 2004, with the goal of creating a technical environment where other humanitarian research could be processed.〔〔
World Community Grid initially only supported Windows, using the proprietary Grid MP software from United Devices which powered the grid.org distributed computing projects. Demand for Linux support led to the addition in November 2005 of open source BOINC grid technology which powers projects such as SETI@home and Climateprediction, and Mac OS X and Linux support was added since the introduction of BOINC.〔 In 2007, the World Community Grid migrated from Grid MP to BOINC for all of its supported platforms.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=World Community Grid - View Thread - BOINC Migration Announcement )〕
