some peer to peer networks/protocols such as Tor, Torrent address application of anonymity and storage in an infrastructureless and distributed framework. However I wonder if such a P2P network/protocol is available for distributed cloud computing such that people share their computer processing power ( CPU and/or GPU) to let other people enjoy parallel and distributed processing?
Yes. People may share their computer processing power (CPU or GPU) to let other people enjoy parallel and distributed processing. Around ten years back, such a technique had a fancy name called Grid Computing. It was the task Grid Middleware such as Globus, gLite, UNICORE, etc. Examples of fastest virtual super computers are Folding, Bonic, etc.
I suggest to have a look at the following link at wikipedia. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grid_computing
Similar kinds of things are possible in case of P2P networks or protocols applied to distributed cloud computing.
@Michele, thank you , is your paper concerning distributed p2p cloud ? I need to distibuted my monte carlo simulation written in m-file among such network.
I know its 3 years later, but in case you are stil interested.
We are working in a middleware called fogbow (http://www.fogbowcloud.org/), which in summary should lay on top of cloud systems in order to allow different cloud IaaS providers exchange resources.
Specifically, I am focusing on the incentive mechanism for cooperation that each peer should follow in order to take good barter decisions, discriminating free riders.
thank you Eduardo, I appreciate your answer, and still answer to this question is valuable to me.
