Juno to Employ Users' Computers for Virtual Supercomputer Project
Juno has announced the "Virtual Supercomputer Project," a plan to employ the "unused resources of the Juno subscriber base" for distributed computing. Under the project, subscribers to Juno's free Internet service would leave their computers running 24 hours a day. When the computer is not in use, Juno's system would run the computer's processor and hard disk drive to perform computations for third parties.Juno Announces Virtual Supercomputer Project, Juno Press Release, February 1, 2001.
