= Browser / HTTP Map-Reduce driver

Working example of browser based, HTTP driven map-reduce for a distributed

word count. The jobs are assigned by the job-server and computation is done

by the clients browser, after which the results are posted back (emit) to the

server and the cycle repeats until the computation is done.

== Huh, why?

It's a proof of concept with the goal of lowering the barrier to entry for any online

user to contribute some of their spare CPU cycles to a distributed computation.

After all, what could be easier than clicking a link?

== Launching example

  (1) > ruby jobserver.rb -p 80 -e production

  (2) > open your browser and point it to the jobserver

  That's it.
