The Intel Philanthropic Peer-to-Peer Program uses the power of peer-to-peer technology to enable individual PC owners to join medical researchers in their efforts to discover new treatments for devastating disease. By lending spare PC resources (such as such as hard drives and processing power) to the effort, participants help harness more power for discoveries that are otherwise constrained by a shortage of processing capabilities. The following medical research programs are currently participating: The United Devices Cancer Research Program; The Stanford Alzheimer and Amyloidogenic Disease Research Program; and The United Devices Anthrax Research Program.
