GridSpot crowdsourced cloud computing

• Gridspot links an array of idle computers across the globe and makes their computational power available for a low price.
• How low? We take bids from 0.1 – 0.3 cents per CPU hour.
• How do we do it? With compute instances that are short-lived and run on untrusted hardware. We've learned that for many applications, these rules aren't handicaps.
• Each compute instance is a VM running Linux that you can SSH into.
