The computing platform behind Compute Against Cancer is simply a massive, grassroots-based platform of individual PC owners wired together by the Internet. This platform, composed of your computer and thousands just like it, allows researchers to get more accurate and more comprehensive results, faster. Many cancer researchers are given access to this valuable resource at no charge.
In addition, Parabon directly compensates Compute Against Cancer Partner organizations for the amount of computing power their supporters provide for use by paying clients. The more participants that support a nonprofit organization, the greater donation they receive.
