You got the power!

It's cool the way you see results arriving at the same time they're being computed!

Only three parameters for such a simulation? Does this make sense?
We're not yet the GPUs. We're definitely searching for that small intersection you've mentioned.

Do you have any clues how to find it?

Thanks for your answer! Do you know about any real life application for that problem?

Ask HN: What would you compute on 2000 badly behaved worker nodes?

I work for CrowdProcess, and we built a distributed computing platform that runs on Web Workers (badly behaved, i.e. volatile connections with some latency), to monetize websites replacing advertising.We already have +2000 nodes and have been getting pretty good speedups in Monte-Carlo based algorithms. We also have the simplest ever API for a distributed computing platform.What else would you...

In addition, CrowdProcess can be used within an internal network using, for instance, the idle browsers of an institution. That would allow you to run a benchmark in a more controlled environment.
