What can I do with flashmob computing?
In today’s world of big iron supercomputing most of us have no say in what supercomputers do. Mostly supercomputers are used for studying nuclear weapons. And if you don’t like that, too bad. You have no say. You can now decide what to use a supercomputer for. So if you want to study global warming or the hole in the ozone layer you can do that with a flashmob computer. If you want to study breast cancer or AIDS, you can do that. If you want to see the effects of pollution on an animal species, you can do that. If you want to draw an insanely detailed mural of a beautiful woman with every hair on her head modeled and every ridge on her fingernails perfectly rendered using a ray-tracing program, you can do that too! But most importantly, with flashmob computing you now have a say in how supercomputers are used.
