Template:Otheruses2 Entropia, Inc. was a company founded in 1997 which sells distributed computing software for CPU scavenging. They have ceased commercial operations in 2004, although no formal announcement to that effect was ever made.
Their product's server infrastructure was heavily based on Microsoft Windows, which was attributed as being at least one part of the lack of scalability of their failed product.
Public Projects
Entropia ran the server for GIMPS, a distributed computing project researching Mersenne prime numbers. Founder Scott Kurowski, who has since left Entropia, now runs the server.
Entropia has also helped with research on AIDS with their FightAIDS@Home project, which was operated in cooperation with Scripps_Research_Institute. As of May 2003, that relationship ended and the project continues to operate using the BOINC software infrastructure.
