Technology: The HTC program aims to create a supercomputer in a collaborative fashion to help research. It is based on an Android app to install on some HTC smartphones to share a portion of the computing power.
divremembers the SETI @ home project (late 1990), which aimed to bring together the computing power of millions of computers around the world to help discover signs of extraterrestrial life. HTC takes the technical principle of this idea by applying it to smartphones.
Taiwanese firm announcement at Mobile World Congress program Power to Give , which is to create the equivalent of a supercomputer by pooling the computing power Unused for Android smartphones.
“As part of this project and thanks to HTC Power To Give a million smartphones could provide computing power (one petaflop) equivalent to that of a 30 supercomputers currently in service around the world. This power could significantly shorten the research cycle for organizations that, in other circumstances, would spend years analyzing the same amount of data, “says HTC.
A SETI @ home applied to Android smartphonesCo-developed with
Dr. David Anderson of the University of Berkeley (California), this program is voluntary users who agree to participate. For this, they need to install the Power to Give via Google Play application then select an area of ??research (fight against cancer, AIDS and Alzheimer’s disease, etc..) For which the computing power of your smartphone will exploited.
Note also that Seti @ home in the list of programs that offer to participate in projects related to physics, medicine, biology or mathematics. The application works when the device is charging or connected to a WiFi network. At first, it will be compatible with the HTC One, Butterfly and Butterfly S, but the manufacturer promises to open up to other models in the next six months. (Eureka Press)
