How Userful Multiplier works

Modern desktop computers sit idle while we check our e-mail, surf the web, or type a document. Userful Multiplier takes advantage of this unused computing power to create a low-cost, high performance, and environmentally efficient alternative to traditional desktop computing.  Up to 10 independent stations all share the resources of a single computer at the same time. Since computer usage consists of short bursts of CPU activity, each user has access to the full power of the multi-core processor. When more than one user needs the processor at exactly the same time, the computer splits its resources to perform all tasks equally quickly.
