Here's the future of real cloud computing, not to be confused with datacenter & hosting business....This Real Cloud relationship is a preliminary step for building collective intelligence...

GPUGRID. GPUGRID.net. GPUGRID is a distributed computing project hosted by Pompeu Fabra University and running on the Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing (BOINC) software platform. It performs full-atom molecular biology simulations that are designed to run on Nvidia's CUDA-compatible graphics processing units.

SimGrid - Scalable simulation of distributed systems, ranging from grids to peer-to-peer systems. Distributed Internet infrastructure results in weaknesses as well as strengths. Last week the BBC reported that the Global internet slows after ‘biggest attack in history’, with a Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack on spam-fighting organization Spamhaus said to be impacting the broader Internet. This was big news across global media until later in the day it became clear that the impact was minimal. Despite naysayers, the attack was in fact substantially the largest in history, and did result in slower Internet performance in the UK, Netherlands, and Germany. At the height of coverage of the story I was invited into the ABC studios to explain live on the midday news what was happening. You can click on the image below to see the video clip. While I avoided technical language for my on-air interview, I alluded to the fact that there are a significant number of unsecured Domain Name System (DNS) servers, and the attackers had used a specific technique to attack these.

Even with the extraordinary size of the DDoS attack, there was relatively little impact. GridCafe : The place for everybody to learn about grid computing. Exposé Systèmes/Réseaux - Les grilles de calcul - Ingénieurs2000 - Informatique/Réseaux 3ème année - 2006/2007. Introduction Au cours de notre troisième année d'étude de la formation Informatique Réseaux de l'école d'ingénieurs Ingénieurs 2000, nous devions étudier un thême portant sur le système, le développement ou les réseaux. Cette exposé fût encadré par le Directeur de la filière M. Étienne Duris, ainsi que du Directeur de l'école, M. Dominique Revuz. Objectif Notre choix s'est porté sur la présentation d'un système de calcul parallèle en cours de popularisation: Les grilles de calcul. Depuis quelques mois voire quelques années, le Grid Computing, ou grille informatique, fait de plus en plus parler de lui dans l'univers des nouvelles technologies.

World Community Grid - Accueil. World Community Grid. Un article de Wikipédia, l'encyclopédie libre. Le projet World Community Grid (WCG), en partenariat avec IBM, propose de regrouper plusieurs projets de recherche scientifique au sein d'un même projet de calcul distribué, afin de principalement lutter contre plusieurs maladies humaines. Plus largement, WCG regroupe des projets ayant un fort intérêt humanitaire. Le but premier de WCG était de créer la plus grande grille de calcul publique au monde. La plateforme logicielle utilisée est le logiciel BOINC (Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing), qui est actuellement disponible sur toutes les plates-formes (Windows, Linux, Mac OS X et FreeBSD).

Le logiciel utilise le temps de calcul inutilisé des ordinateurs à travers le monde.

All computers have to be updated individually with new software, unlike a centralised computer system. Decentralised systems still enable file sharing and all computers can share peripherals such as printers and scanners as well as modems, allowing all the computers in the network to connect to the internet. A collection of decentralized computers systems are components of a larger computer network, held together by local stations of equal importance and capability.

These systems are capable of running independently of each other. Peer-to-Peer[edit] Based on a “grid model” a peer-to-peer system, or P2P system, is a collection of applications run on several local computers, which connect remotely to each other to complete a function or a task. There is no main operating system to which satellite systems are subordinate. This approach to software development (and distribution) affords developers great savings, as they don’t have to create a central control point. See also[edit] Personal Clouds.

Adapteva | Inventing the Future of Computing. B.O.I.N.C projects. 100Gbps and beyond: What lies ahead in the world of networking. The corporate data center is undergoing a major transformation the likes of which haven't been seen since Intel-based servers started replacing mainframes decades ago. It isn't just the server platform: the entire infrastructure from top to bottom is seeing major changes as applications migrate to private and public clouds, networks get faster, and virtualization becomes the norm.

All of this means tomorrow's data center is going to look very different from today's. Processors, systems, and storage are getting better integrated, more virtualized, and more capable at making use of greater networking and Internet bandwidth. At the heart of these changes are major advances in networking. We're going to examine six specific trends driving the evolution of the next-generation data center and discover what both IT insiders and end-user departments outside of IT need to do to prepare for these changes. Beyond 10Gb networks Network connections are getting faster to be sure.

Beyond the simple SAN. Distr.CognitionFramework-final - Distr.CognitionFramework.pdf. MaidSafe - The New Decentralized Internet. Towards a Distributed Internet. In preparation for the Contact conference that I am helping to organize this October in NYC, I’ve been in discussion with many different communities about the types of initiatives they would like to bring to the table. The purpose of the event is to ‘realize the true potential of social media,’ and determine what infrastructures need to be in place to enable peer-to-peer commerce, culture, and governance. My goal is to help facilitate these conversations now, so that come October, there is already a higher level of awareness and understanding of these issues, and more connections between groups working on similar objectives.

To that end, one of the conversation threads that has begun, with the help of Paul B. Hartzog, Richard C. What are the fundamental requirements and building blocks of a distributed internet? We’ve already seeded the question out on Quora and a google group, and found that developers will answer this question in many ways, because it raises many questions. And so on. Social Networking 3.0: From Self-expression to Group Action. My favorite social networking site is one that makes $10B of revenues/year, has no infrastructure costs, and has no salesforce, has no management team. Can you guess which one it is? I can't tell you. It's invite only. You'd know if you knew. But it is a great site. It's browser based, but technically not a site, since it's all peer to peer.

Our site is different than others, in that it's owned entirely by its users. That's right, this open source community makes nearly $10B in revenues per year, with room to grow to $50B. Advertisers spend about $2000/person in advertising per year. So how do we build our own ad network? The first is easier. How do we determine who sees what ad? No data centers, no sales force, no infrastructure costs and $10B of revenues. That's the beauty of my new social network. What do we do with all the money? Ripper234/DecentralizedApplications. Distributed search engine. A distributed search engine is a search engine where there is no central server. Unlike traditional centralized search engines, work such as crawling, data mining, indexing, and query processing is distributed among several peers in a decentralized manner where there is no single point of control.

History[edit] InfraSearch[edit] In April 2000 three programmers built a prototype P2P web search engine based on Gnutella called InfraSearch.[1] It was meant to run inside the participating websites' databases creating a P2P network that could be accessed through the InfraSearch website.[2][3][4] Opencola[edit] YaCy[edit] On December 15, 2003 Michael Christen announced development of a P2P-based search engine, eventually named YaCy, on the heise online forums.[7][8] FAROO[edit] In February 2001 Wolf Garbe published an idea of a peer-to-peer search engine,[9] started the Faroo prototype in 2004,[10] and released it in 2005.[11][12] References[edit] The HTML5 Supercomputer.

P2P Economy: The next great economic age. WebRTC is almost here, and it will change the web. Web Real-Time Communication (WebRTC) is a new HTML5 standard framework that enables the sharing of video, audio, and data directly between web browsers. These capabilities open the door to a new wave of advanced web applications. If all goes according to plan, over 50% of all web browsers will support this capability in the next three to four months. This is the most significant step forward in web browser connectivity since 2004, when Google launched Gmail and AJAX was coined.

The Asynchronous Javascript and XML (AJAX) approach enabled developers to update the components of a page without the need for full page reloads. This enabled a huge number of new interaction capabilities and was a significant step forward in bringing “native” style applications to the web. Above: Graphic by Jimmy Lee / jimmylee.info While HTML5 has already brought many new capabilities to the web, it is WebRTC that will spark the most innovation.

Rich image and video apps on mobile browsers (e.g. YaCy : un moteur de recherche peer to peer sous licence libre pour remplacer Google. Cet article a été publié il y a 3 ans 11 mois 4 jours, il est donc possible qu’il ne soit plus à jour. Les informations proposées sont donc peut-être expirées. C’est ma découverte du jour que je dois à Twitter et plus particulièrement à @glenux. Ce qui me permet au passage de me dire que je devrais peut-être tenter l’expérience de ne plus lire mes centaines de flux RSS et de ne faire que suivre les liens poussés par les personnes que je suis sur identi.ca et twitter. Ce n’est pas la première fois que des informations pertinentes remontent ainsi alors qu’elle ne sont jamais apparues dans les flux RSS que je suis. En effet de YaCy, je n’avais encore jamais entendu parler bien qu’il existe depuis 2006.

A la lecture de la présentation de YaCy, il y a de quoi être emballé. Ensuite, ce sont les caractéristiques techniques qui m’emballent : Concernant la base de données embarquée, elle est spécifique à YaCy et utilise une structure de type AVL-Trees. Building An Open Source, Distributed Google Clone. Disclosure: the writer of this article, Emre Sokullu, joined Hakia as a Search Evangelist in March 2007. The following article in no way represents Hakia's views - it is Emre's personal opinions only.

Google is like a young mammoth, already very strong but still growing. Healthy quarter results and rising expectations in the online advertising space are the biggest factors for Google to keep its pace in NASDAQ. But now let's think outside the square and try to figure out a Google killer scenario. You may know that I am obsessed with open source (e.g. my projects openhuman and simplekde), so my proposition will be open source based - and I'll call it Google@Home. First let me define what my concept of Google@Home is. Briefly, Google@Home is an open source, distributed clone of Google . Comparison to Wikiasari The distributed nature of the engine is what makes it different from Wikipedia co-founder Jimmy Wales' Wikiasari project, which is an open source wiki-inspired search engine.

Revenues. Architecture distribuée. Un article de Wikipédia, l'encyclopédie libre. Internet est un exemple de réseau distribué puisqu'il ne possède aucun nœud central. Les architectures distribuées reposent sur la possibilité d'utiliser des objets qui s'exécutent sur des machines réparties sur le réseau et communiquent par messages au travers du réseau. Les soubassements technologiques de l'informatique distribuée[modifier | modifier le code] Au début de l'informatique, le dialogue entre machines nécessitait une connaissance approfondie des protocoles réseau et parfois même du matériel réseau. Les avantages de l'informatique distribuée[modifier | modifier le code] L'augmentation des ressources[modifier | modifier le code] Le seul fait de distribuer les traitements sur les ordinateurs d'un réseau augmente les ressources disponibles.

Et si mon ordinateur aidait la recherche scientifique ? Un personnage Lego devant un ordinateur (kennymatic/Flickr/CC). Près des trois-quarts des capacités de calcul des 800 millions d’ordinateurs mondiaux seraient inutilisées. Parallèlement, la recherche médicale, climatologique et mathématique est de plus en plus gourmande en calculs. Les supercalculateurs nécessaires à ces travaux coûtent plusieurs millions d’euros.

Une somme inaccessible pour la plupart des laboratoires. L’idée Grâce à Internet, plusieurs millions d’ordinateurs peuvent travailler simultanément sur le même programme de recherche avec un coût réduit par unité. Réservé à des machines modernes mais pas surpuissantes, le calcul partagé est accessible à toute personne disposant d’Internet. Le site World Community Grid propose d’aider simultanément plusieurs programmes de recherche.

Comment la mettre en pratique ? En 1999, l’université de Berkeley (Californie) lance le premier programme de calcul distribué ouvert à tous les internautes. Ce qu’il reste à faire.

Sommaire 1. Généralités 1.1. Introduction La dernière fois que vous avez jeté un oeil à la charge CPU de votre ordinateur qu'avez vous vu ? Si j'en crois mon expérience la charge moyenne d'un ordinateur personnel est inférieure à 10% (à moins que vous ne participiez déjà à l'un des projets ci-dessous). L'objectif des projets décrits sur cette page est de mettre à profit cette puissance CPU inutilisée. 1.2. Non. Il reste l'aspect mémoire. 1.3. Cosm ? 1.4.
