We have developed the RIKEN AJAX browser computing (RABC) system. This system enables the simple realization of large scale Global Computing systems, like the SETI@home project, that take advantage of unused computing resources. Its greatest advantage is that an agent program, which has been traditionally required, does not need to be installed. Volunteers can participate by simply browsing to a Web page provided by the RABC system. This system allows greater CPU cycle resources to be acquired than traditional methods. We have evaluated a performance difference between JavaScript and legacy computer languages.
