With the ever growing demand for computational power, scientists
all over the world strive to harvest more computational
resources to solve bigger problems in less time. We believe
that volunteer computing (VC) is an interesting solution for
accessing large amounts of computational power. With time,
more computing devices join the network. By aggregating
all the resources in a global volunteer pool, it is possible to
achieve a huge amount of computational power that would be
impossible, or impractical, in most grids and clusters.
