I am working with a set of table fragments of about 30 rows by 10 columns
each from a large table populated with base five digits. The total number of
rows is 5^10 or 9,765,625.
The time to process each group is about 1 second or about 90 hours to
process the whole table. If I use other computers I can cut the time in
proportion to time/number of computers such that the task can be completed
in minute if I had 5,425 computers and in about 30 seconds if I had 10,850
computers, etc.
Is there a methodology for establishing such an Internet based distributed
processing project?
