Cant find the link, but MS was supposed to launch a distributed project, to use idle time to find bugs in their products. A worthwile project indeed.

Hehe, how many CPU Cycles/years/decades will THAT take?

Yes, I've heard of this, too. I believe the code name for the project was Wind Blows, or something like that..

Humm, the page is overloaded, but if what you say is true, this could be exciting indeed. While Juno's trying to shoot us in the foot, NASA's work could really make DC a common application.

 

[Fingers]

Hey Ray, didn't you forget centuries. or wait this is MS could that be an infinate amount of time.

Pretty cool McGallik

 

[ViRGE]

Bah, it's gasp, manual. I want my CPU to work, not me.

 

[Assimilator1]

Hmm ,can't acess it

Sorry Virge, this is just the begining of &quot;distributed computing&quot; for NASA.

The results they obtain from this and a few other little projects in the near
future are only to get the ball rolling. There's more in the mix.
