Overview
The goal of this project is to bring cluster computing to the masses for
free! In particular G2 leverages .NET to harness idle networked PCs into a
virtual supercomputer. G2 makes cluster computing simple. The project has
implemented a framework and supporting tools that specifically utilize the
.NET Common Language Runtime and web services to harness the cycles of idle
PCs. Using G2 is no more complicated than using web services in .NET. Code
is transparently deployed to .NET clients, and jobs may be safely run from
within Internet Explorer.
Want to give it a spin? Then go here all
you need is Internet Explorer and .NET to donate cycles.
