The dawn of a new internet age has begun. Super Computers!!
Piracy and Illegal tube sites will really thrive now!!!
A network of supercomputers called the Grid will allow information to be downloaded quicker than ever. Tasks that took hours will now take seconds The dawn of a new internet age has begun. A network of supercomputers, known as the Grid, is to revolutionise the speed at which information is downloaded to personal computers. The power of the Grid is such that downloading films should take only seconds, not hours, and processing music albums just a single second. Video-phone calls should also cost no more than a local call. More importantly, it should help to narrow the search for cures for diseases. The Grid, a network of 100,000 computers, is to be connected to the world?s largest machine, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). It is designed for projects, such as large research and engineering jobs, which need to crunch huge quantities of data, but scientists believe it will eventually be used on home computers. The Grid allows scientists at CERN, the European Organisation for Nuclear Research, to get access to the unemployed processing power of thousands of computers in 33 countries to deal with the data created by the LHC. Scientists at CERN, where the world wide web was invented, created the ?500 million Grid because they realised that a single computer would not be able to cope with the amount of data the LHC is expected to produce each year ? 15 petabytes, or 15 million gigabytes, which would fill 20 million CDs. They said that it was an extra facility laid on top of the internet, which originally linked computers around the world in the Seventies. Dr Bob Jones, a CERN scientist, said: ?The [world wide] web allows you to access information on other computers. What the Grid allows you to do is not only access the information, but make use of their computing resources and power.? He likened it to the National Grid. Users would be able to tap into massive amounts of processing power, but the source of the power would change, depending on availability. Processing tasks will be distributed between 11 gateway computer centres in ten countries, including Britain, which will share them out between more than 140 sites. One of the first jobs the Grid will tackle is handling the raw data for CERN?s experiments into finding proof of the Higgs boson, the so-called God particle. Its uses, however, extend well beyond particle physics and it has already been used on a smaller scale in research into diseases such as malaria and bird flu. ?The Grid cannot find a cure for cancer, but what it can do is make it quicker,? said Dr Jones, explaining that what might have taken a decade could now be done in weeks. David Britton, Professor of Physics at Glasgow University and a leading figure in the Grid project, said: ?The old traditional way to find cures for diseases is that you would go to the lab and try mixing various drugs and see how they work.? With the Grid, he said, scientists could run hundreds of thousands of simulations to create a shortlist of the drugs that are most likely to offer the potential for a cure. Researchers can then get to work testing the drugs singled out as promising. The Grid has also already been used to save lives in the immediate aftermath of earthquakes. Using the seismic data, scientists can use the Grid for simulations that pinpoint which areas are most affected, allowing rescue teams to direct their efforts where they are most needed. Many believe the world wide web and the internet are the same thing, but the internet is actually a massive network of networks, which connects millions of computers together globally, and the web is an information-sharing model built on top of the internet, which allows information to be accessed over the medium of the internet.

Why the piracy and tube comment at the top, that is some seriously misleading lead information.

It will make downloading bit torrents a hellava lot faster as well as uploading/downloading higher quality vids to and from illegal tube sites. |

Guess the whole now!!! part and eventually be used... did not match up as a proper topic. About the same as Skin cancer cured!!! Some new drugs show promise and could help cure skin cancer in the future.

One of the great things about Blu Ray is that the file sizes are huge, and more likely to scare away someone who doesn't want red flags poppin off at his local ISP. |

Wait.. are you talking about the Google grid? Because, that's old... or new... or old.. I dunno. It's from the future, but this came out a couple of years ago. So it's from the past, but it's about the future.

Not only is this network NOT publicly available it WONT be for quite some time. (hint: it will take some time for the isp's to figure out how they could even profit from this) That being besides the point your attitude smacks of chicken little. All new technology requires an evolvement period in which many things may or may not happen. Will there be an adaptation period, when and IF this reaches the public sector? Yes... But it will by no means be any more rampant than what it is now... ![]()

It's already in operation and available to certain universities throughout europe I believe.

Grid computing has been around for a long time. Seti@home is one of the biggest and oldest "grids" around.
