I'm currently about to extend DistrIT to make a system so that researchers can book CPU time from all the unused cycles of my Department's PCs. Using Java would make it secure and transparent for windows and linux users..
I am actually about to publish a paper
with the aliases and team names of the 20 top contributors of the Distributed Hardware Evolution Project. The names of the circuits in the figures were also chosen by contributors.
If anyone is interested in having their own island in an island based coevolutionary genetic algorithm evolving the next generation of safe hardware circuits across the internet, join DHEP! You will be contributing cutting edge research.
Hiya, this would be great. I'm currently about to extend DistrIT to make a system so that researchers can book CPU time from all the unused cycles of my Department's PCs. It could also be extended quite easily to do what you're saying, and have a central server where you get credits for donating your CPU cycles and then you can upload your processing task and get other people in the pool to run it.
As founder of the Distributed Hardware Evolution Project which is written in Java, I'd like to remind you all that the Just-In-Time compiler coupled with the real time profiling and dynamic on-the-fly optimisation that goes on in the Server VM makes the difference between C and Java minimal for code which is in the critical region. This is specially the case for code which is executed over and over again, such as with these distributed processing projects. In fact the guys at Sun are doing such a good job at exploiting the ever more complex characteristics of different processors that Java code is expected to run faster than C in the future.
Also, during the weeks that you would spend debugging and porting your C code, your Java code has gone miles ahead doing useful stuff! If you would like to start your own Java distributed processing project, DistrIT might help.
