ABSTRACT:
A distributed computing method is disclosed. The method includes a requester making a number of requests to a number of other computers to perform a number of operations for the requestor's computer using the other computers' resources. The method further includes each corresponding grantor of the other computers to determine whether the other computer should grant the request(s). Each grantor is to make the determination at least at times in accordance with the requestor's computer's prior response(s) to the grantor's computer's prior request(s) of the requestor's computer to perform one or more operations for the grantor's computer. In one embodiment, the method further includes the grantor making the determination in accordance with whether a generosity measure denotes the requestor's computer's request should nevertheless be granted notwithstanding the requestor's computer's prior response(s) to the grantor's computer's prior request(s) suggesting that the requestor's computer's request should not be granted. In one embodiment, the requestor and grantor are embodied in a computer system.
