as with all developments in computing, Fisher expects to see that cost continue to fall and its use to sky rocket."
Turing is described now regularly as being the"father  of computing. Or of computing science.
Or artificial intelligence. Sometimes all three. As the only name most of us are familiar with among the code-breakers at Bletchley Park,
 And the claims about Turing being the big daddy of computing and artificial intelligence are even more questionable:
So-called"volunteer computing  projects have expanded rapidly since the launch of Seti@Home in 1999, a program that still uses the power of millions of ordinary computers in screen-saver mode to help search for signs of intelligent life in the universe.
A major advance in scientific computing came from the development of superfast 3d Graphics Processing Units (GPUS) to run video games on Sony's Playstation 3 console.
foresees volunteer computing at an"exascale  level oe about 1, 000,000, 000, 000,000, 000 calculations per second oe 100 times more powerful than today's top supercomputers.
Gaming for gainthe scientific benefits of volunteer computing can be enormous, and consequently there are a host of efforts looking to capitalise on people's unused processing power.
After turning to volunteer computing they now have the computing power of up to 15,000 desktops working simultaneously.
Some of the most successful volunteer computing approaches have their roots in the world of gaming.
Active citizensdespite these notable successes, CCC's Grey is quick to point out that volunteer computing does not provide a universal solution."
"There are certain problems you can crack with a supercomputer that would be hopeless with volunteer computing,
Volunteer computing works best on easily shared problems that are divisible into digestible pieces that can be worked on in any order at any time.
and that volunteer computing seems to attract a lot of retired scientists and teachers, as well as people with a degree in science who wound up doing some other job."
