Update: Existing Sollutions
Looks like there are already some existing sollutions such as :
appears to be rather close to my needs: credit is given for computing resources, which could be claimed as needed at the latter time.
Currently that is the only solution from the following wiki list:
Software implementations and middleware
ToDo:
Peer-to-peer grid
Problem
- Using cloud resources is costly.
- My servers are idling most of the time.
Solution
Allow to use my servers for a future credit to be used on the servers of other participants. The company that runs it could charge a percentage for the service. I know that I would personally pay up to 50% of the cpu credits. Seems like a rather useful and profitable idea. Too bad this is not the area of my expertise. Hopefully somebody will implement it sometime soon.

[Peer Computing]
existing peer networks: share file, network bandwidth; why not also cpu?
peer credit-based cloud computing
Need:
• in many organizations computers are often idling
• when cpu is needed
– costly (may offload to cloud e.g. Amazon); sometimes not feasible: e.g. using the budget to pay for the computational resources
Solution: share your computational resources when they are not needed; and receive computational credit
