Distributed computing is a branch of computer science, which studies how to put a huge computing power to solve the problem is divided into many small parts, and then put these parts assigned to many computer processing, finally the calculation results together to get the final result. Recent distributed computing projects have been designed to use tens of thousands of volunteers from all over the world the computer 's unused computing capacity, through the Internet, you can analyze the electric signals from outer space, looking for hidden black hole, and to explore possible extraterrestrial intelligent life; you can find more than 10000000 digits of the Mason prime; you can also find and found against the AIDS virus is more effective drugs.
