So all the PCs are working on the same workunits, speeding the process a lot... thanks Alejandro ID: 25995 ·

Simple answer: No. To be able to use BOINC, each computer needs internet access, be registered on its own and crunch work on its own. There is no way multiple computers can crunch together on one task or model on any of the BOINC projects. The same as there is no way multiple CPUs (or cores) can crunch together on one task or model. ID: 25996 ·

I think that this can be a good addition, specially in environments with Pcs with limited or no access at all to internet, and "servers" that can "share" the workitem between the terminals I still using 1 PC then. thanks!
