The Scout movement is going to use grid computing technology to help an
initiative to fight Aids and support other humanitarian projects.
The Scouts have launched a partnership with
the World Community Grid
project as part of its centenary celebrations.
Members of the youth movement are being encouraged to sign up to a Scouts
team on the grid, which will use their computers' spare processing power to
contribute research towards FightAIDS@Home and other
humanitarian initiatives.
'World Community Grid provides our members with an efficient and effective
way in the modern world to make a real difference on problems that plague
humanity,' said Dr. Eduardo Missoni, Secretary General of the World Organisation
of the Scout Movement.
The IBM-led World Community Grid was set up
in 2004. The organisers of the project say that the initiative has processed
data equivalent to over 100,000 years of run-time.
