Editing Java Heterogeneous Distributed Computing

{{Primary sources|date=July 2009}}
'''Java Heterogeneous Distributed Computing''' refers to a programmable [[Java (programming language)|Java]] distributed system which was developed at the National University of Ireland in Maynooth. It allows researchers to access the spare [[clock cycle]]s of a large number of semi-idle desktop [[Personal computer|PCs]].  It also allows for multiple problems to be processed in parallel with sophisticated scheduling mechanisms controlling the system.  It has been successful when used for tackling problems in the areas of [[Bioinformatics]], [[Biomedical engineering]] and [[cryptography]].

It is an [[open source]] project licensed under the [[GNU General Public License|GPL]].
