QMachine

QMachine (QM) is a web service for distributed
computing. Its design relaxes the usual requirements of a distributed computer
so far that it can be powered completely by web browsers – without installing
anything. This repository is structured as a
superproject,
which means that cloning it requires cloning its submodules, too:

$ git clone --recursive https://github.com/qmachine/qmachine.git

As a model for computation, QM is described in a recent open access paper,
QMachine: commodity supercomputing in web browsers.
That paper, which is the
most accessed paper of all time
for BMC Bioinformatics, explains some of the design decisions behind QM,
demonstrates its use in scientific workflows, and elaborates on some of its
future directions. The accompanying screencasts, one of which was featured by
the
HPCwire
and
insideHPC
news sites, are available on
YouTube.
QM has also graced the front page of
Hacker News.

The manual is improving steadily, and a
project wiki is also available for
reference.
