威尔士曼的团队在实验室组织了模拟的“枪战”，分成两人一组的多名志愿者在一个计算机控制台上以某一特定顺序彼此争抢按下三个按钮。
Welchman's team organized simulated "gunfights" in the laboratory, with pairs of volunteers competing against each other to push three buttons on a computer console in a particular order.
每个志愿者都只需要下载一些代码，并将其作为一项大任务的一部分来运行，然后将中间计算发回中央服务器即可。
Each volunteer just downloads some code and runs its part of a large task, sending back intermediate computations to a central server.
研究人员称，每个计算任务可能需要一天、一周甚至一个月才能完成，具体时间取决于志愿者的电脑闲置时间总量以及处理器的速度。
According to the researcher, computations may take one day, one week or a month to complete, depending on the user's amount of idle time and computer speed.
