GPU is a Gnutella client that allows users to share CPU-resources. GPU
allows the creation of computer alliances. The CPU-time sharing system
does not recognize privileges between users. Each person agrees to
provide network resources as needed and in return is able to get
CPU-cycles from other clients on the network system. Plugins extend the
capabilities of client nodes and are compiled so as to take advantage
of the power of the latest processors. Right now, this client allows
rendering of Terragen movies. An experimental search engine is
included, too. GPU cluster size typically ranges from 5 to 15 computers
but can support up to 2,000. It is possible to organize ourself in
teams and view statistics. Help us with your pioneer attitude in
tweaking and improving this 15GHz monster (which is under GPL and
targets only peaceful goals btw).
