Proof of useful work?

I.e. the problem is that hashing is wasteful. But we have demand for distributed computing.

Could the work that's being evidenced actually be performing useful computations? Perhaps by structuring a distributed computation platform that accepted standard units of compute work. Like perhaps an Erlang reduction.
