Research on Computational Grids

Name: OurGrid
Description: OurGrid is a free-to-join peer-to-peer grid that has been in production since December 2004. Anyone can free and easily join it to gain access to large amounts of computational power and run parallel applications. This computational power is provided by the idle resources of all participants, and is shared in a way that makes those that contribute more get more when they need. Currently, the platform can be used to run any application whose tasks (ie, parts that run on a single machine) do not communicate among themselves during execution, like most simulations, data mining and searching. All you need to connect to the grid is a linux machine. The software is all stable, free and open-source (distributed under GPL) and has an active community of users and developers. For more details, read more about the vision behind OurGrid.
