GPU is a Gnutella client that lets its users share CPU resources, creating a type of "computer alliance". In other words, the aim of this program is to join the forces of various machines to do tasks in less time.This CPU resource and time sharing system offers no privileges to users over others. Each person accesses the resources they need, and can access the CPU cycle of other users when they aren+t using it.Plug-ins can widen the capacities of the client nodes, and are compiled for this aim and to take advantage of the power of latest generation processors. GPU includes a search engine (experimental at this stage). The cluster size of GPU varies between 5 and 15 machines. It is possible that users can also organize themselves into teams and view statistics on them all.GPU is a completely free application, distributed under a public GPL licence.
