Scientists at Stanford University have demonstrated tangible proof that scientific experiments can be conducted using thousands of low-end PCs wrangled together into loosely linked networks. A group ...

Scientists teleport quantum calculations between computers, paving the way for distributed quantum computing and a future quantum internet.

What do you think your computer does most of the time? For most of us, most of the time, it just sits there idly spinning its wheels. These programs use the power of up to hundreds of thousands of ...

CryptoEasily is a global cloud computing service platform that integrates distributed computing resources, allowing ...

Ask any programmer who has ever had to deal with timekeeping on a computer, and they’re likely to go on at length about how it can be a surprisingly difficult thing to keep track of. Time zones, leap ...

WAY back in 1999, a badge of geek pride was to run a new screensaver program called SETI@home. This used spare processing capacity on ordinary PCs to sift through radio-telescope data for signs of ...

MITT ROMNEY, the defeated American presidential candidate, once declared while campaigning that “corporations are people”. Developments in artificial intelligence (AI) and distributed computing mean ...

Genetically engineered bacteria, rigged up as a distributed computing system, might help realize synthetic biology’s loftier goals. E. coli thrives in our guts, sometimes to unfortunate effect, and it ...
