The invention relates to a system for the distributed management of computer resources and calculations, comprising a network that connects active or idle machines. The inventive system can be used for the resolution of tasks, whereby all of said tasks constitute a single problem that is to be solved and one task is executed by one of the active machines in the network using application software (22a). The system is characterised in that each machine in the system comprises: a means for selecting at least one network address (21b) corresponding to another machine in the system; a computer means for managing the computer resources (20), including, among others, a means for updating task state information, said information being conveyed through the network by means of a message (4); and a random task selection means. In addition, the active machines also comprise the application software (22a) and data (23a) which are used to solve the problem. |
