Abstract

An Internet-based, secure, distributed task-brokering and parallel-processing method/system/article-of-manufacture advantageously leverages under-utilized network-based computing resources for bandwidth-intensive and/or computationally-intensive problems, and provides significant cost advantages over traditional coarse-grained parallel computing techniques.
