he codes for forming a botnet are very simple and with small number of lines. But with millions of available nodes, botnets wield more collective processing power than the world's top 10 supercomputers. The popularization of smartphones and their ever-increasing computational capability (equivalent to a typical desktop computer ten years ago) have created this vision of ambient cloud that is a cloud-like computing resource inside your ambient environment formed by smart devices.

In this project, we plan to conduct research on the design and implement a cloud built from smartphones. With our system computational intensive tasks can be offloaded to mobile devices around us so as to achieve high-performance computing on single mobile device with low computational capability and limited power supply. Many computational intensive and power-hungry applications are able to run on off-the-shelf mobile devices with high runtime performance.
