Need For a Simple Distributed Computing Tools

I have been working on a few hobby project these days. while going through,I came across two key challenges. Challenge One "The Need to tap in to parallel processing power of all the resources one might have in a simple way" Assume the scenario of a person who is in a need to jump start a research activity/ some computationally intensive task, which needs a large computing power & resources. And he or she is in such a situation that they want to be able in include resources in much more dynamic way & is on a Mobile or Adhoc network where anything can happen. At the very same time i don't want to ignore the point that these days even our mobile devices have turned so powerful (a typical arm cpu of  Samsung s4   will churn out 49 Gigaflops). And the overall system should be simple to use understand & operate. I came across a thess work Self organised software agents where the agent programs are designed in such a way that they understands the enviro

Programming challenge: escape from devil & whirlpool

  Problem : Between Devil and Deep Sea Below is the story line  A band of pirates have made loot. By their misfortune though, instant Karma is delivered. While they are travelling a treacherous route in the high and the deep seas they are also haunted by a devil, perhaps a spirit who suffered at their hands previously. The pirates now have to make tricky decisions. They run forward to save themselves from the Devil, but the deep seas force them backwards. There is a danger of falling in a whirlpool if they move forward rashly and there is a danger of being caught by the Devil if they move too much back. But move they must. First they recede backwards B meters and then advance forward F meters, in a straight line. They cover 1 meter in T units of time. This backward and forward movement is performed repeatedly by the Pirates because they have panicked. Your task is to find out if they will perish at the hands of the Devil or they will get sucked into the whirlpool of the Dee
