Golem

AppVeyor CircleCI codecov

The aim of the Golem project is to create a global prosumer market for computing power, in which producers may sell spare CPU time of their personal computers and consumers may acquire resources for computation-intensive tasks. In technical terms, Golem is designed as a decentralised peer-to-peer network established by nodes running the Golem client software. For the purpose of this paper we assume that there are two types of nodes in the Golem network: requestor nodes that announce computing tasks and compute nodes that perform computations (in the actual implementation nodes may switch between both roles).
