Distributed computing will eventually revolutionize the computing field much as the Internet has but in ways we can't imagine.

YAUHP to describe NoRSfall's interests

All Peoples from the World, welcome to Matrix World Team! Many Projects waiting of you!{;}{;}Alle Menschen von der ganzen Welt sind herzlich Willkommen! Viele verschiedene Projekte{;}warten auf euch! Für jeden Geschmack ist was dabei. Solltet ihr noch Wünsche haben, bei nicht{;}vorhandenen Projekten, werden wir die natürlich mit aufnehmen. Der Spass und die Freude sollte {;}im Fordergrund stehen. Alles ist kann, aber kein Muß :-) !{;}Treffpunkt ist entweder im Forum (zu finden auf der HP) oder im IRC Quakenet ( irc.quakenet.org){;}Channel #matrix-world .

Distributed Computing
Distributed computing is a science which solves a large problem by giving small parts of the problem to many computers to solve and then combining the solutions for the parts into a solution for the problem. Recent distributed computing projects have been designed to use the computers of hundreds of thousands of volunteers all over the world, via the Internet, to look for extra-terrestrial radio signals, to look for prime numbers so large that they have more than ten million digits, and to find more effective drugs to fight the AIDS virus. These projects are so large, and require so much computing power to solve, that they would be impossible for any one computer or person to solve in a reasonable amount of time.
