[QUOTE="DrDrew, post: 51903, member: 298"] It's a distributed computing mechanism. Rather than having to crunch a big simulation on one massive super computer - if you can get enough people to volunteer their computers then you can do lots of distributed calculations over different machines instead. However, each new PC will need to take at relative chunk, as it takes time for the initial scheduling to incorporate a new machine. So in simple terms - instead of using one machine with 500 processor cores, you can use 501 PCs with 1 processor core each and distribute the work around, for example. [/QUOTE]
