Hey friends!
I am interested in cloud computing but i need someone to explain it for a novice user. I know my way around a pc in a basic way but not much more. I currently run two devices 24/7 and would like to contribute more. How does it work? Thanx! |

A search on the word "cloud" will give you a wealth of information since this subject has been extensively discussed. Good luck with your crunching.

Google cloud has a good free trial and I used the information on this site:
----------------------------------------http://grcmagnitude.com/google_compute_boinc_tutorial.html to give me the key commands. The site isn't loading over here for me but I did save the page awhile ago and it is accessible on Web Archive without pictures (link). If you go this route or get a different linux box, you will need those Linux commands to control a machine without a user interface that everyone is used to. You'll also need your account key, for WCG it is here: https://secure.worldcommunitygrid.org/ms/viewMyProfile.do  |
