YSK you can donate some of your computer's processing power to aid in fucking awesome research projects!!!!!
Volunteer computing grids provide help to research projects that benefit mankind. This particular software only runs when your computer is idle and plugged into a power source, or between the hours of the night that you choose.
- Go to http://ift.tt/2hbu0qs
- click "Join SETI@home"
-
download the software and select any of the awesome research projects that need your help to process their data!!!!
Just to list a few of the projects:
-
World Community Grid: Research includes HIV-AIDS, cancer, tropical and neglected diseases, solar energy, clean water and much more.
-
Enigma@Home : Attempt to decode 3 original Enigma messages. The signals were intercepted in the North Atlantic in 1942 and are believed to be unbroken.
-
MindModeling@home: uses computational cognitive process modeling to better understand the human mind
-
Climateprediction.net : contribute to a model that allows us to explore how climate may change in the next century under a wide range of different scenarios.
-
Einstein@Home : searches for weak astrophysical signals from spinning pulsars using data from the LIGO gravitational-wave detectors, the Arecibo radio telescope, and the Fermi gamma-ray satellite.
-
RNA world: seeks to identify, analyze, structurally predict and design RNA molecules on the basis of established bioinformatics software.
-
Milkyway@Home: create a highly accurate 3D model of the Milky Way galaxy using data gathered by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey.
-
SETI@Home: (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) uses radio telescopes to listen for narrow-bandwidth radio signals from space. Such signals are not known to occur naturally, so a detection would provide evidence of extraterrestrial technology.
There are tons of awesome projects that you can help out with that require absolutely no effort. Give it a try!
