= Help libcaca research projects using CPUShare =

Image processing research sometimes requires expensive computations, for instance analysing the quality of an algorithm on 10,000 different images. You can help the project by selling or donating your idle CPU cycles to the project. We use the [http://www.cpushare.com/ CPUShare] project for this: it provides all the infrastructure for reliable, secure and anonymous distributed computing.

== Getting started ==

If you are using Debian or Ubuntu, just download one of the following packages:
 * [/attachment/wiki/CPUShare/cpushare_0.47-0.1_i386.deb?format=raw cpushare_0.47-0.1_i386.deb] (32-bit platforms)
 * [/attachment/wiki/CPUShare/cpushare_0.47-0.1_amd64.deb?format=raw cpushare_0.47-0.1_amd64.deb] (64-bit platforms)
Then download our [/attachment/wiki/CPUShare/libcaca-sell.cpu?format=raw 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`.

If you are not using Debian or Ubuntu, well, good luck. Honestly, CPUShare is one of the most difficult pieces of software I have ever seen. Good luck.
