In this paper we propose an open source architecture, which enables the scientific community to implement and execute highly demanding CPU tasks in distibuted way. The system main idea is to use idle time of a set of volunteers, and distribute in a smart and transparent way the work to the volunteers that perform the real work. Contrary to the existing solutions, all the deployment of the tasks, code and data, is done automatically by the system, allowing a very easy installation and submission process. This system is platform independent which means it runs on most operative systems. We also present some preliminary results for a simple task that allows measuring the gain in performance of the system.
