Distrubuted workloads
  • SomeoneE1se October 2010

    Full Disclosure; I'm stealing this idea from elsewhere.

    I think we should start a distributed workload group. The original idea came from wpa password cracking, however I think it would serve other functions as well.

    The way it could work would be to have it act like a private bit torrent tracker. The tracker would maintain how many 'work units' each client has done, the higher the ratio, the higher on the priority list your jobs become.

    Thoughts?

    I think that this would be a cool project.

    By elsewhere you mean Hak5 forums :P

    I don't really see a need for it to be honest,

    Shhh don't tell anyone

    Yes but the idea about shared process sharing is good.

    Is this like an 'internet cluster' or something?

  • SomeoneE1se October 2010

    Or something. it's like bit torrent for CPU time not bandwidth.

    Gotcha.
