World Community Grid’s Mission
World Community Grid's mission is to create the world's largest
public computing grid to tackle projects that benefit humanity.
 Engage volunteers who want to contribute their computers to humanitarian research projects
 Provide free computing power to research projects whose findings may provide a
humanitarian benefit
 Achieve results that are openly shared
 Use the depth and breadth of IBM to build the power and capability of the grid

Upcoming Research News
 Two new projects to be launched in 2011
– One is currently in beta (volunteer) testing and final preparations for
launch
– The other is about to start alpha (internal) testing
 One of our projects has been ported to OpenCL

Partnership with Sony
 Sony VAIO’s sold in the US contain an option to contribute to World Community Grid during the
OOBE process
 Uses conservative settings (doesn’t run until 8 minutes after user stops using computer)
 Impressive Results:

Internal IBM Deployment
 Previously IBM participation has been voluntary with ongoing promotional
communications from management team
 As of early July, World Community Grid will be deployed in the standard image build for
all employee workstations
 This deployment strategy has resulted in a very good upward trend in participation:

IBM@100
 The IBM Corporation had its 100 year anniversary as a corporation this year
 As part of the celebrations, a website called IBM@100 was created. Part of this website
includes 100 Icons of Progress that are described as World Community Grid was selected as
one of these Icons of Progress
– “These 100 iconic moments—these Icons of Progress—demonstrate our faith in science,
our pursuit of knowledge and our belief that together we can make the world work better.”
– http://www.ibm.com/ibm100/us/en/icons/worldgrid/
 We had an challenge to IBM Employees to donate 100 hours of computer time between May
16th to June 16th
– Communicated via email for existing register IBM email address and via departmental
emails
– Over 12,300 employees met the goal

IBM Plays Jeopardy
 Jeopardy is a quiz game show in the US
 IBM developed a system called Watson to compete against the two most successful
players in Jeopardy’s history
 Watson defeated the humans and collected a $1,000,000 prize
 50% of the prize money was allocated for World Community Grid
 That money was granted to our research partners to advance their post-processing
of results previously computed on World Community Grid (BOINC was granted
some as well)

Social Media
 In December 2010, World Community Grid launched a new feature that enabled automated posting of messages
for badges earned, weekly contribution and other items to the Facebook walls and Twitter feeds for volunteers
who chose to participate.
 Great uptake:

 Until Facebook deleted our app for violating terms of service in April. Facebook requires that users must
explicitly interact with the message prior to it being posted – automated posting of standardized messages is not
allowed.

Lecture Series
 Every 3-4 Months we have a webcast where one of our affiliated research organization
presents their research to the volunteer community
– December 1: 2010, Dr. Alex Perryman, The Scripps Research Institute, San Jose, CA,
USA presented FightAIDS@Home
– April 22, 2011: Dr. Alan Aspuru-Guzik, Harvard University, Boston, MA, USA presented
The Clean Energy Project
– August 12, 2011 – Dr. Robert Malmstrom: The University of Texas Medical Branch,
Galveston, Texas, USA presented The Discovering Dengue Drugs - Together
 About 125 volunteers join the live webcast
 The webcasts are then uploaded to YouTube. The replays of each have been viewed over
3,500 times.

Changing How Data is Distributed and Uploaded
 Our bandwidth use has grown as the available compute power has increased and as we have taken on
projects that require larger input and result data sizes
