How does this new service fight cancer, then? While a revenue share with charitable causes is certainly a possibility, that s not the core of this new service s mission. Rather, Futuristicon aims to use the power of its customers computers.
Sharing is Caring
BOINC Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing is an open-source project with a laudable goal: take a little bit of computing power from a lot of people and use it to make some important calculations. BOINC projects calculate solutions to complex problems for astrophysics, biology, mathematics, and pretty much every other hard science out there. The data from these calculations can be used to find novel solutions to fighting (and perhaps even curing) diseases.
