This approach to factoring uses world-wide distributed computing and is based on computationally enhanced Web servers.
|
|
The project demonstrates the potential for self-organization of the resources of the World-Wide Web into a general-purpose parallel computing surface, overcoming geographic dispersion, architectural heterogeneity, and varying network connectivity
|
The innovation of the WWC approach is a new way to execute HPC applications over highly heterogeneous platforms.
-
The WWC uses the Web's client/server model to administer and optimize the distribution of work, and manage the entry of new Web volunteers into the pool of available computing resources.
