Idle processing resource allocation in a computing system across a network to boost processing capability of a data processing device thereof

A non-transitory medium, readable through a server and including instructions embodied therein that are executable through the server, comprising:

• instructions to scan a plurality of client devices communicatively coupled to the server through a computer network for a processor thereof in an idle state based on activity therein falling below a threshold beyond a threshold period of time, each of the plurality of client devices including a processor communicatively coupled to a memory;
• instructions to allocate the processor in the idle state to a client device requiring additional processing capability to establish a communication link between a client device corresponding to the processor in the idle state and the client device requiring the additional processing capability;
• instructions to enable registering, through a driver component on the client device requiring the additional processing capability, the processor in the idle state with an operating system executing thereon following the establishment of the communication link;
• and
• instructions to enable transmitting, through the driver component, data to be processed through the processor in the idle state from the client device requiring the additional processing capability across the computer network following the registration.

A system comprising:

• a plurality of client devices, each of the plurality of client devices including a processor communicatively coupled to a memory;
• a computer network;
• and
• a server communicatively coupled to the plurality of client devices through the computer network, the server being configured to:
• scan the plurality of client devices for a processor thereof in an idle state based on activity therein falling below a threshold beyond a threshold period of time, and
• allocate the processor in the idle state to a client device requiring additional processing capability to establish a communication link between a client device corresponding to the processor in the idle state and the client device requiring the additional processing capability, and
• a driver component on the client device requiring the additional processing capability being configured to enable:
• registering the processor in the idle state with an operating system executing thereon following the establishment of the communication link, and
• transmitting data to be processed through the processor in the idle state from the client device requiring the additional processing capability across the computer network following the registration.
