The Distributed Compute Protocol (DCP) is a web-based edge computing framework that is seeing rapid adoption across a number of academic and commercial sectors. Since DCP is built on web standards, it seamlessly interoperates with existing containerization and VM frameworks, but can also function entirely within web browsers without requiring any software installation or even administrator privileges, providing a near-zero footprint and instant setup time. DCP allows institutions to create and administer their own secure on-premises edge computing networks, a computing solution that is 75-95% less expensive than commercial cloud.
