The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

SETI@home: an experiment in public-resource computing (2002, background): “Signals whose power and goodness of fit exceed thresholds are recorded in the output file. Outer loops vary two parameters [ 3 ]:”
P3: P2P-based middleware enabling transfer and aggregation of computational resources (2005, unknown): “Internet-wide distributed computing projects [1, 2] are also resource transferring activities, but specialized for utilization of the computing power of individual PCs.”
Entrusting Private Computation and Data to Untrusted Networks (2013, background): “For example, solving the 40-variable, 100-clause 3-SAT problem on a single computer would take four years, while doing so using a sTile-based solution implemented in Mahjong and deployed on the network the size of SETI@home (1.8 million nodes [43]) would take seven days.”
Condor-G: A Computation Management Agent for Multi-Institutional Grids (2001, unknown): “Recently, various research and commercial groups have developed software tools that support the harnessing of idle computers for specific computations, via the use of simple remote execution agents (workers) that, once installed on a computer, can download problems (or, in some cases, Java applicati”
