You run a program on your computer... either all the time or just as a screensaver when you're not using the computer if you have a slow computer. Your computer functions as a massive global network of computers.... a distributed supercomputer.... hence the name distributed computing. NCAAbbs had teams in three such projects...

Folding@Home
--- Analyzes small molecules to search for a cure for AIDS, Cancer, and more
Lifemapper
