CPUsage is a service that harnesses the power of the world’s unused computing power and distributes it to companies wanting to reducing processing time, lower costs and become more green.
CPUsage has built a network of volunteer computers from around the globe whose owners frequently leave their computers on but are not always in use. Computer owners that volunteer are compensated for their idle processing power with valuable prize drawings, a reward purchase program or even cash payments.
CPUsage clients are ideally from industries such as pharmecutical, animation & graphics, semiconductor, government and financial services. They choose CPUsage so that they can purchase fewer servers, spend less on electricity, drastically reduce processing time, decrease time to market and to lessen their impact on the environment.
