Coppell ISD Participates in the World Community Grid

Coppell Independent School District is an active participating member in the World Community Grid. The purpose of the World Community Grid is to create the world’s largest public computing grid to benefit humanity. Grid technology takes advantage of the massive computing power and allows both public and non-profit organizations to do research. This cumulative computing power from across the world allows research to be completed faster and reduces the length of time that it takes to do research from years to months.
 
Update as of July 2, 2008:
  1. 4+ years of computer time has been provided by Coppell ISD since the end of March 2008
  2. 196 CISD computers have the BOINC (Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing, developed at University of California, Berkeley, USA with funding from the NSF (National Science Foundation) agent installed on them.
The site can be viewed in 4 additional languages other than English ( i.e. French, Spanish ...)
 
You can view the research project data without a member name or password.
