Two popular non-profit distributed computing projects are distributed.net[1] and SETI@home[2]. United Devices[3] is the largest commercial distributed computing network. Some will venture that Distributed.net is not a non-profit project since the main RC5-64 project they do is indeed for a cash prize from RSA Labs. Many others exist, such as the popular Genome@Home[4] and Folding@Home[5] Distributed computing works so well because users like to see stats and the even though the client may be using 90% or more of their CPU, it runs at an extremely low priority so that it only uses power that would be wasted anyway. |
