The GreenTea Software is a pure Java Peer-to-Peer (P2P) based Grid OS platform that facilitates P2P computing, distributed computing, grid computing, and network computing by harnessing the idle computing resources on the network. GreenTea is written entirely in the Java (TM) programming language. It runs on any Java enabled computing platforms, such as PCs, Unix, Linux, Mac OS X, even Java-enabled Cell phones. GreenTea enables organizations to fully utilize their existing heterogeneous computing resources to meet their heavy-duty computing needs, without having to purchase expensive supercomputers and servers. By using GreenTea software, all the computers in the organization can be utilized to form a large virtual supercomputer.
