distributed.net is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization committed to serving as a gathering point for topics relating to distributed computing, or the process by which large numbers of computers are joined together toward solving a challenging problem. The history of the organization, the organization’s ongoing projects, the individuals involved in the organization and the organization’s short term and long term goals all relate to finding new ways for computers connected to the Internet being used during ‘idle’ time. This process is realized through the development of software which allows computers currently not in use to communicate via the Internet allowing an unlimited amount of computers to work toward one common goal. To date, distributed.net has used its processes and technologies to solve encryption contests on the Internet. It is through the application of this concept that distributed.net has been able to develop and refine these techniques, improving on the range, scope, and variety of tasks which are suitable for this technology.”
