| 5 | This file briefly describes Tycoon. Tycoon is a market-based |
|---|
| 6 | distributed resource allocator. The basic idea is that users use |
|---|
| 7 | currency to run on remote hosts. The price for running varies |
|---|
| 8 | depending on how much other users are willing to spend. |

| 14 | Tycoon requires Python (>= 2.3), pycrypto (>=1.9a6), Java (>= 1.3), |
|---|
| 15 | and rsync (>= 2.5.7). There are probably other dependencies on |
|---|
| 16 | programs that are included in RedHat 9.0. |
|---|
| 17 | |
|---|
| 18 | We have only tested using Python on x86 Redhat 9.0 Linux platforms. |
|---|
| 19 | Python is ostensibly cross-platform, but there likely to be bugs in |
|---|
| 20 | porting to Windows or OS X. |
