Ebook Aspen: Buy and Sell Spare CPU Cycles
Aspen allows people in need of extra computing resources to purchase computing time from other computer owners. Typical uses of computing resources include Pharmaceutical research, indexing algorithms, and machine learning. Organizations involved in this type of research could benefit from a need-based computing grid.
Unlike other grid computing initiatives, Aspen enables any computer owner to make his or her computing resources available to anyone who needs extra resources. Computer owners receive financial compensation in exchange for completing computations requested by those in need of computing resources. Aspen creates a free market for the exchange of computer resources, where sellers and buyers set their own prices based on the quality of the resources they offer or require.
