“To support OpenZika, you simply download a free software program from World Community Grid that runs “in the background” on your computer or Android device. This is called the OpenZika client, and it processes information (in this case using the drug design software AutoDock VINA) and evaluates prospective candidates for drug discovery. The OpenZika client uses idle processor cycles that would otherwise go to waste. When your computer has finished a OpenZika computation, the results are packed up and sent back to the OpenZika team, ready for researchers to collect and analyze them. ”
