Our first prototype was built on compute-extended Web Servers using the standard CGI mechanism and applied successfully to the factorisation of the RSA 130 decimal digit number using the latest sieving algorithm which was distributed to a net of Web servers and clients in a load balanced fault tolerant fashion.
