Abstract

We present a distributed and fully cross-platform database search program that allows the user to utilize the idle clock cycles of machines to perform large searches using the most sensitive algorithms. For those in an academic or corporate environment with hundreds of idle desktop machines, DSEARCH can deliver a ‘free’ database search supercomputer.
