Sorry to be the one constantly criticizing titles. But I know this topic as Distributed '''Computing'''. And several web pages do so too, like: http://www.distributed.net/ (the original cow cracking DES (I participated)), http://www.distributedcomputing.info/ and of course everyone's new darling http://boinc.berkeley.edu/intro.php. --[[User:Markus Baumeister|Markus Baumeister]] 17:35, 26 February 2007 (CST) | |||
I can agree to that, I will move the page to dirtsibuted computing - if none will object. [[User:Robert Tito|Robert Tito]] | [[User talk:Robert Tito|Talk]] 17:43, 26 February 2007 (CST) | |||

BOINC
I don't really have any expertise in this area, so I can't help much with the article, but you'll probably want to include projects other than seti@home that run on the BOINC platform - maybe in a section specifically about BOINC? - see here: http://boinc.berkeley.edu/projects.php --Joe Quick | Talk 11:20, 23 February 2007 (CST)
I think projects like SETI, FOLDING@HOME and others are perfect examples for its deployment. Robert Tito | Talk 11:21, 23 February 2007 (CST)
recursive calculations
these are the most used calculations used, based upon a small dataset and a simple formula trying to calculate a "best Value average" for a property at a certain point of time in the flow of the total process Robert Tito | Talk 17:18, 23 February 2007 (CST)
- If you said that recursive functions are one of the typical aims of distributed computing, I would agree. But the calculation is often done iteratively (as the function is end-recursive). --Markus Baumeister 17:35, 26 February 2007 (CST) True but the iterative partial results are part of a recursive total.

Distributed computation?
