Topic: We need a name for world wide distributed intellectual computing system (Read 762 times)

From what I know GridCoin is not a market for purchase-sale of the computing power.
GridCoin computes only for white-listed projects, while our project will be available for anyone. We also base payments on smart-contracts system and on Ethereum blockchain.
The closest projects to us are iex.ec (they use own middleware similar to ours) and Golem. Competitors are cloud computing companies, including Amazon GPU clouds etc.
GridCoin uses projects with external servers, which are using BOINC servers and then are just rewarded by GridCoin. We are going to build our own decentralized servers network, where servers will be supernodes distributing tasks to miners nodes and validating them. We just use BOINC code as a starting platform. Any trusted node (combined PoS+PoW) can become supernode-server.
Then it is also expected that there will be machine learning algorithm, optimizing applications/hardware and automatically selecting hardware for certain applications and vice versa thus increasing miners efficiency.

How would this be different from Gridcoin?

Re: We need a name for world wide distributed intellectual computing system


LOL,  

World Wide DICS  


FYI:
Don't look at me , you picked the words.  

 


FYI2:
Would have just called it MESH NET.

I suggest : ainet (of A.I.), lifeplus, vitalplus, vitalityplus, ...  

The basic technology is already here.

OPEN

already in the wild; SHA + stakes @ near 0

or

HAL

anti ASIC + POS

Name of an Indian God : Wikipedia don't know how or what they represent in OP's idea.

I'd rather go with GDCS,Globally Distributed Computer System.World Wide and Intellectual are not needed.Computing system specifies it's intelligent by default.

I am voting for Shiva though am sure I do not understand its meaning at all lol. Anyway, hope there can be a short name for that beast soon.

for some reason cannot vote so my opinion is DISC

Any suggestions?

Hello! We are preparing white paper on distributed supercomputer. This may sound a bit like Golem, but decided to start it for some time ago (before Golem got much attention) and we went a bit different way and have a different approach. Basically we are going to combine BOINC platform and smart-contracts. But that still will be a decentralized network, which allows to rent computing power and to mine tokens, performing computing tasks on any devices. In our network we are going to introduce supernodes, managing tasks distribution and also learning algorithms for applications optimization usage. The big general goals is to teach the system to optimize computing devices usage for specific applications and to  optimize (select itself) applications and parameters for solving certain tasks. The final goal is to teach system to select by itself the most important tasks, which will be most profitable and rent computing power from itself.
The key difference from Golem is that as far as system is BOINC and smart-contract based we can start converting BOINC credits into our tokens and sell computing time for these tokens to anyone just right now. The basic technology is already here.
Also, we have already a set of tasks in the field of drug development, which need urgent solution. The first project, which will be deployed in our network is DrugDiscovery@home project for in silico drug discovery in the field of cancer and age-related diseases.
So, we are asking you about suggestions for the name of the project.
Some names are in the poll list and you can suggest any of yours.
The first test tasks are going to be from the life science, so one of the suggested names was LifeTree, which also gives association with roots as computing power provided to the system by sellers and leaves, results which buyers get from the system, while fruits are results, which buyers convert into profits.
Another was Universe with greek name for it Cosmos, where each supernode is supposed to be like a separate world and being more dedicated and specialized on some sort of tasks.

The very maximum task is to make distributed artificial intelligence supercomputing system, which will bring us to Singularity
