Today IBM announced that anyone in the world with a PC, laptop or Mac and an Internet connection could help scientists seek chemical compounds that might be effective against COVID-19. "The project, designed and led by Scripps Research, will be hosted on IBM's World Community Grid. Volunteers download an app that works when their devices are otherwise idle or in light use. Operating unobtrusively in the background without slowing users' systems, the app distributes computational assignments and returns completed calculations to researchers, all via the IBM cloud."
