Distri-JS

npm install Flarp/Distri-JS

Distributed computing for your browser!

What is it?

Distri-JS is a client for Distri servers that serve out numbers and equations to those who wish to participate in distributed computing.

Features

• Uses Web Workers, so the webpage will not be slowed down during computation.
• All files are verified from a public database of trusted sources, with the links and checksums of each file, so if a file is tampered with, it will not be executed on the client-side.
• Very nice menu thing. Looks pretty cool.

How do I use it?

To generate the files, simply run webpack. Webpack will do all the hard stuff for you.

Using it is a lot simpler than Distri-Node, just put all the generated files into the browser directory, add the script (distri.min.js) into the main HTML page, and make a button somewhere that when clicked, runs Distri.settings(). That's it. If you want more information on what Distri is, check here.

Another note, if you want to set a default starting point other than Collatz Conjecture, go into the webpack config and change the value in the webpack.DefinePlugin where it says distriDefault: JSON.stringify('Collatz Conjecture') to whatever you want. (Note, the value must be still inside the JSON.stringify)
