A method of distributed computing includes computing a first set of results in a first computation chain with a first population of processing nodes and communicating a first set of results to a second population of processing nodes. The method also includes causing the first group of processing nodes to enter a first dormant state after delivering the first set of results and generating a second set of results in the first group of processing nodes, /RTI The method includes delivering a second set of results to a first set of processing nodes, causing a second set of processing nodes to enter a second dormancy state after communicating a second set of results, And further comprising the step of tuning.;
