IBM and researchers from Harvard University are working together to invent a inexpensive and efficient solar cell base on the organic materials. Such effort will require huge computational power due to thousands of organic materials available and each of such material has to be analyzed for various combinations.The principal investigator and a professor in the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology, at Harvard. "It would take us about 100 days of computational time to screen each of the thousands of compounds for electronic properties".
Therefore researches has decided to get the support of World Community Grid which enables harnessing the power of hundreds of thousands of idle PCs exist around the world.The solar power project is the latest for World Community Grid, which harnesses the power of more than 410,000 members and more than 1 million computers.Yet with World Community Grid's free computing power, augmented by cloud computing, the project is estimated to complete in two years what would have taken 22 years to run on a regular scientific cluster."
