IBM was awarded the prestigious Coffey International Award for its application of technical expertise in innovative ways to address the greatest societal challenges of our time at the annual Business in the Community (BITC) Awards for Excellence last night.
We... challenge the business world at large to sign up to World Community Grid and help grow its potential to achieve even greater impact on the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and the world’s most pressing needs.

IBM earned the award for World Community Grid (WCG), in essence the virtual equivalent in processing power to a Top 10 Supercomputer devoted to humanitarian research. World Community Grid gains its power from the aggregated spare computing capacity of 1.3million PCs belonging to 460,000 volunteers from over 200 countries. For participating members, some with perhaps limited time for volunteering, it provides the opportunity through the World Community Grid to make a significant contribution to tackling the Millennium Development Goals.
