Today I copied a 3 gigabyte file from one computer on my network to another computer on my network. While the file was copying I noticed that the the processors on BOTH machines were in use to facilitate the copying process.
Now, if this is possible. Would it not also be possible to somehow share a CPU over the network, and have some utility to assign certain processes to a network CPU and have other ones run on the onboard CPU?
Say I wanted to encode a video. That normally takes up most of my Processor. But, if I could tell windows to use the CPU of another computer on my network, I could encode the video and do a whole bunch of other things at the same time. Essentially giving myself a dual-core system.
Shoot….if there were enough computers on the network I could encode a video, browse the web, run my antivirus, and play a game each off a different PC.
Is this possible?
