Distributed Computing

Media publications

• Distributed computing gets a corporate twist - Tech News - CNET.com - "Grid" technology, which distributes computing jobs and databases across numerous servers, has largely been an academic phenomenon. But on Thursday IBM plans to give the idea a corporate twist with its so-called Grid Computing Initiative. (Published 2001.08.01)
• Salon: Distributed.outrage - University computer administrator accused of "hacking" crimes, for installing a screensaver that supported distributed computing research. (Published 2001.07.17)
• SecurityFocus HOME News: Is Distributed Computing a Crime? - Article discusses how a computer network administrator faces multiple felony charges and years in a Georgia prison for allegedly installing Distributed.net clients without permission. (Published 2001.12.20)
• Wired News - Kasparov Goes Bigger than Blue - "Chess players the world over will have a chance to play Garry Kasparov in a networked chess game that will allow players to band together and combat the champion chess master." (Published 1999.06.10)
