Beatriz The projects include Rosetta at Home , which analyses protein structures, ClimatePrediction.net , which tests the accuracy of climate models, and Africa at Home , which tackles humanitarian issues such as malaria. Those wishing to take part can obtain the Progress Thru Processors beta through Facebook. Intel explained that the software will run only when the CPU has idle processing power, and has little overall effect on the system's power consumption. Intel hopes to connect increasingly powerful processor hardware on end-user systems with the distributed research efforts. "Progress Thru Processors underscores our belief that small contributions made by individuals can collectively have a far-reaching impact on our world," said Deborah Conrad, vice president and general manager of Intel's Corporate Marketing Group. "By simply running an application on your computer, which uses very little incremental resources, you can expand computing resources to researchers working to make the world a better place.“Setup of the software, account, and all the regular hooks of most Facebook apps takes less than 5 minutes and you can post your contributions to your profile. The software also suspends itself automatically when you shut down your computer, so you don’t need to draw energy unnecessarily by leaving the computer on. Once installed, you may want to open the preferences and crank down the available processing power from your computer; although the application doesn’t slow down multitasking (it’s very good about backing off when you’re working), you may notice your computer fan humming along quite a bit if you allow it to use 70 or 80% of your CPU cycles. Distributed Computing: defined in many different ways. In most general terms it is a system to permit distributed processing of data and objects across a network of connected systems through the sharing of resources on that system. Distributed computing can encompass desktop PCs, powerful workstations, servers, and even mainframes and supercomputers interconnected through a network.
