Some cool distributed computing images:
Too many computers.. Image by Brian Landis
Of course, this doesn’t show our two real desktops that we use every day, or any of our three laptops. 😉
This is the temporary home of these computers- eventually, they’re going to be moved to a different location and organized out of the way and totally accessed remotely, so they can just sit and merrily crunch data until they give out. I like old computers to have something worthwhile to do, no point in having them moulder away in a closet!
This little grouping of computers (minus the black Gateway- it was just here temporarily for me to fix for a co-worker) are crunching data for various scientific distributed computing projects. These computers are crunching for two projects- Milkyway@home and Seti@home. The first is attempting to create a three dimensional model of our galaxy using real observational data, and the second is analyzing radio signals captured from deep space to look for non-natural signals (as well as looking for pulsars.)
My computers not in this picture crunch for those projects as well, in addition to crunching for Climateprediction.net (what could it be for?), Einstein@Home (searching for evidence of gravity waves), Rosetta@Home (studying protein folding sequences) and LHC@Home (project to help analyze data coming from the Large Hadron Collider.)
twitter.com/gnomedex – twitter.com/chrispirillo – The University of Washington are investigating whether the brainpower of humans worldwide can be brought to bear on critical problems posed in computational biology. The long term goal of this project is to utilize the combined power of humans and computers in order to build accurate models of disease-related proteins by introducing a new approach: distributed computing driven by human intuition. www.gnomedex.com – chris.pirillo.comThis video was originally shared on blip.tv by l0ckergn0me with a No license (All rights reserved) license.

The Worldwide LHC Computing Grid (WLCG) is a global collaboration of more than 140 computing centers in 35 countries, the 4 LHC experiments, and several national and international grid projects. The mission of the WLCG project is to build and maintain a data storage and analysis infrastructure for the entire high energy physics community that will use the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. The LHC Computing Grid is an evolving infrastructure due to the continuous increment of capacity, performance and adoption of new technologies. Within this context and in order to provide excellent access to data and computing resources, quality needs to be managed at different levels: Quality of sites: the reliability of the computer centers belonging to the infrastructure; Quality of resources: the performance of the available computing clusters and storage systems; Quality of data: the integrity of the information collected by the 4 LHC experiments; Quality of middleware: the access to both data and computational resources in a standard and secure way. This presentation describes in detail how these quality aspects have been addressed during the ten years of existence of the LHC Computing Grid. Video Rating: 5 / 5

Maurice Herlihy (Brown University) presents as part of the UBC Department of Computer Science’s Distinguished Lecture Series, October 13, 2011. Concurrent programming models based on transactions have been around for a long time, but even today, there is vigorous debate about what they mean and what they should do. This debate sometimes generates more heat than light: terms are not always well-defined and criteria for making judgments are not always clear. In multicore architectures, transactional models can encompass hardware, software, speculative lock elision, and other mechanisms. The benefits sought encompass simpler implementations of highly-concurrent data structures, better software engineering for concurrent platforms and enhanced performance. This talk will try to impose some order on the conversation, and evaluate whether we are making progress. Video Rating: 5 / 5
