HTC Power To Give is an app that gives you a way to contribute to scientists doing research in many different fields (such as biomedicine, physics and astronomy). Scientific research often requires vast amounts of computing power. HTC Power To Give enables you to include your Android device as part of a distributed computing system when you are not actively using your Android device. How does HTC Power To Give work? HTC Power To Give acts as middleware to connect a smartphone to different research projects, enabling the applications from supported projects to run and communicate with their central servers. Research problems are broken down into many small tasks and distributed across the network of smartphones. When the app runs, it downloads the required project software which then manages the calculations required to process the individual tasks provided. Once complete, the results are uploaded to the central project team servers and a new task is allocated. How do I get started? Search for HTC Power To Give in the Google Play Store, and install it. When it launches, you will be asked to select the projects that you want to support. Register for an account to get started.
