    33Image processing research sometimes requires expensive computations, for instance analysing the quality of an algorithm on thousands of different images. You can help the project by selling or donating your idle CPU cycles. We use [http://www.cpushare.com/ CPUShare] for this purpose: it provides all the infrastructure for reliable, secure and anonymous distributed computing.

    20 Then download our [/files/CPUShare/libcaca-sell.cpu sell order] and put it in `/etc/cpushare/`. If your machine has several CPUs, you can place several copies of the same file in `/etc/cpushare/`, just make sure their names end in `.cpu`. Finally, start the CPUShare daemons:

    2828If you are not using Debian or Ubuntu, you can either try to install and run CPUShare from source (good luck!) or run this Live CD, either by burning and booting it, or by running it in an emulator (see more information [https://www.cpushare.com/wiki/cpushare/CPUShareLiveCD on the CPUShare wiki]):

    3131The qemu emulator gives near native performance if you use the kqemu kernel module. Just run:

     33% qemu -cdrom caca-cpushare-livecd.iso

    38 Your machine's idle CPU cycles will be available to CPUShare users. There is no way to know whether your CPU will only be used for libcaca projects, but if you use our `.cpu` file, the CPUCoins earned by running other software will be credited to the libcaca project's account. We will in turn use these CPUCoins to buy CPU cycles on other machines; maybe yours, maybe not.

    4040The CPUShare daemons run at a very low priority (`nice -19` by default) but you can stop them at any time if the impact on your system is too important.

    42 If you do not like giving CPUCoins directly to the libcaca project, you can create your own `.cpu` file by creating an account on [http://www.cpushare.com/ cpushare.com] and [https://www.cpushare.com/orders/ creating a new sell order].
