Month #2 — IBM WCG XP Team Update
At the beginning of May the XP team opened up our IBM World Community Grid to our community to help aid efforts in mapping cancer markers. Members of our community are trading their computing power in order to help scientists and researchers solve complex problems related to cancer.
We have now completed our second month! 174 users (58% increase) have signed up on our team and 85 members (26% increase) of our community donated their hashing power to the cause. In total our team generated just over 25 Million points (38% increase) which helped return over 35,000 results (75% increase)! Payouts from the monthly 4 Million XP pot have been disbursed to all users who volunteered and provided their information on our WCG Discord channel.
Join us!
If you want to earn extra XP while also donating your computing power for a great cause, please join us! With your help, researchers and physicians will be able to “improve and personalize cancer treatment” and “accelerate cancer research”. With your unused computing power, you can earn XP while helping fight a disease that has affected so many lives.
