It's simple, install the software and give a few CPU cycles to the cause. Your machine will download a unit of work and get busy on it. When done the results get pushed back up to the main server.

Now I've created a Guitars Canada team:

Team Id: 58251

Just enter it in the software and lets see how much we can do as a team.

Too bad it isn't worth crap for playing video games.

Somebody else must have some spare CPU cycles for a good cause...
