distributed.net believes in the capability and potential of
distributed computing. Their mission consists of three interdependent
goals: development, deployment, and advocacy, to be pursued in the
advancement of distributed computing.


They advocate distributed computing, by encouraging global
participation and contributions of processing power, bandwidth,
and expertise; by providing a forum for discussion; and by raising
awareness on the Internet and in the mainstream.

+Current Project :
+
+RC5-64:  distributed.net's longest-running project is the RC5-64
+challenge. They're now cracking at 127.24 billion keys per second
+and are moving through the keyspace faster every day.
+
+Optimal 24 Mark Golomb Rulers:  Essentially, a Golomb Ruler is a
+mathematical term given to a set of whole numbers where no two
+pairs of numbers have the same difference. An Optimal Golomb Ruler
+(OGR) is just like an everyday ruler, except that the marks are
+placed so that no two pairs of marks measure the same distance.
+OGR's have many uses in the real world.  They're now testing at
+182.49 billion nodes per second.
