dis.io
is a distributed computing platform that utilises idle CPU cycles from within a web browser or the command line, built purely on JavaScript and node.js.
The name dis.io
descends from two origins. The first is that is was built as part of my Dissertation for my Degree in Computing BSc at Bournemouth University, however the other origin, which I personally think it is much better at describing the project is because it is a distributed computing platform.
