This is being re-posted from my microblog, Tumbld Thoughts.
Here is an interesting article from "
The Scientist" called "
Games for Science". It features a number of games designed for
massively parallel data analysis [1]. The idea is to distribute data to personal computers, perform operations there, and them re-assemble the analyzed data at its source. Two projects are
EteRNA (
RNA structural design) and
Phylo (
multiple sequence alignments).
[1] one example is
BOINC (admined at UC-Berkeley). An example of
distributed computing.
