Intel Lets Facebook Users Focus on Research

Intel has unveiled a software programme that allows Facebook users devote spare computer processing power to researching diseases or climate change.

The world's largest computer chip company teamed with nonprofit group GridRepublic to create a ‘Progress Thru Processors’ application based on the popular online social networking service's operating platform.

Intel vice president and general manager of corporate marketing, Deborah Conrad, points out that, "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."
