But the computing power to run it is too expensive. Whilst in the deep, lush forests of the Congo Basin having enough well-trained people to monitor illegal tree felling
several projects were using volunteer computing power for solving complex problems, ranging from cataloguing stars in the distant corners of the universe with Galaxy Zoo to predicting the complex three dimensional structures of protein structures with Foldit.
they now have the computing power of up to 15,000 desktops working simultaneously. Nicolas Maire, a researcher for the organization, estimates that this figure is the equivalent of a single desktop computer operating between 800 and 1, 000 years."
with the support of IBM's World Community Grid, set up Computing for Clean Water to use computing power from more than 50,000 volunteers to virtually design better low-cost, low-pressure water filters,
We have more computing power in our pocket than that necessary to put the first man on the moon.
which uses the computing power of thousands of Internet users to search for the elusive<a href=http://www. livescience. com/23075-mathematician-claims-proof-of-connection-between-prime-numbers. html>prime numbers</a>.The<a href=http
Finally with access to all the satellite data came the need for major computing power to process it.
Encrypting devices takes computing power but as the cost of computing goes down it gets easier to add more encryption.
With the discovery of DNA and the advent of microbiology and mega computing power all manner of evidences are being discovered
Bouncing messages around a network and adding a layer of encryption with each bounce takes time and computing power.
If a criminal uses the service to send a malicious message the network expends the same computing power to send that message
Guan's system named THEMIS is designed to minimize the computing power used to send messages and provide a way to track the source of the message should it be thought of as malicious.
By its very design the system avoids expending computing power to send illegal and harmful messages.
By that measurement computing power expended to support criminal activity will also decrease. That's a good thing.
However we do not yet have sufficient computing power to operate the complex Earth System Models needed for such probabilistic simulations.
as long as you had the computing power to handle it. Not that long ago the size of an individual Landsat scene would have crippled most desk top computers says Doug Morton a physical scientist at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt Md. who uses Landsat
and IBM supplied the computing power with its Blue Gene supercomputer. Meanwhile the USDA-ARS Subtropical Horticulture Research Station in Miami and researchers from UC Davis, Clemson, Indiana University, the Hudsonalpha Institute for Biotechnology and Washington state University participated.
predicted the exponential rise of computing power. Someday history may remember drops in the cost of DNA synthesis as Carlson's curve.
