Public Xgrid projects
So if you want to donate some processor time for the good of humankind (perhaps calculating how much global warming all that extra processor use is causing), you could participate in Stanford’s Xgrid@Stanford project (interestingly the site makes reference to Xgrid FUSE which uses MacFUSE to turn an Xgrid controller into a file system, and let you browse Xgrid tasks via the Finder.
Alternatively you might want to donate cycles to OpenMacGrid, to which you can also submit research proposals if you want to get time on OpenMacGrid.
