Sharing your CPU cycles with others

GridFactory makes it easy to join computing grids and share computing resources with others. When running jobs for other people, your computer is safe:
  • jobs are run inside a virtual machine
  • you can decide which jobs to run
  • you can stop or pause running jobs at any time

How do I proceed?

  • optionally, but strongly recommended: get a certificate from a known certificate authority and join a virtual organization
  • optionally, but strongly recommended: download and install VirtualBox and/or Qemu
  • download and install GridWorker
  • the installer will ask you which server to pull jobs from; if you’re not running your own, you may leave it at its default, www.gridfactory.org
  • start up GridWorker
