Intel Corporation has developed and supplied the world with technology enabling the computer and Internet revolution, including chips, boards, systems, software, networking and communications equipment, and more.

Now Intel is turning its eyes toward the next revolution—P2P applications and the decentralization of computing. By sponsoring this project, Intel continues to advance the pioneering edge of the computing revolution.

Patrick Gelsinger, vice president and chief technology officer, Intel `Architecture Group, said: 'Intel is excited to be working with Oxford University and others to create the world's largest "virtual supercomputer" using peer-to-peer technology which will change the way scientific research can be performed. With Intel's new Peer-to-peer Philanthropy Program (www.intel.com/cure), PC owners will have an easy way to help power this new revolution in scientific research. Together we can tackle some of the most devastating diseases with previously unheard of computing power."
