Projects
This category is for distributed computing projects. A distributed computing project is a coordinated attack on a particular computational problem, normally open to public participation through the Internet. The organization that wants to solve the problem writes software that divides up the problem into little pieces, then other people download the software and let it run on their computers when they're not doing anything else. A well-known example is SETI@Home, a search through radio signals looking for alien intelligence.
Sites in Projects
Computing Minimum Equal Sums of Like Power
Software download, computation records, and project description.
K-Optimal Lattice Rules
Mathematical project with a somewhat technically intimidating site. Whitepapers and software for Linux, UNIX, MacOS X, Windows.
The ChessBrain Network
Distributed network chess experiment. Intends to create a single playing program using donated time.
Java Grid Project (jCluster Project)
Software project investigating the possibilities in creating a distributed computer system - a so called grid - based on the distributed nature of Java and Jini. It is the intension to allow computer resources and data to be shared and to provide a dynamic high availability system for hosting services.
The EON project

Quite Advanced Distributed Parallel Zystem (QADPZ)
The system allows the management/use of the computational power of idle computers in a network. Based on a client-master-slave architecture, using message based communication.
GPU, a Giga@lobal Processing Unit
A non-professional, Open Source project based on a Gnutella client. Anyone can get and has to provide CPU-time. The client is under development.
The Hunting of the Snark Project
