Computing and the cultures of proving.
This article discusses the relationship between mathematical proof and the digital computer from the viewpoint of the 'sociology of proof': that is, an understanding of what kinds of procedures and arguments count for whom, under what circumstances, as proofs. After describing briefly the first instance of litigation focusing on the nature of mathematical proof, the article describes a variety ...
متن کاملComputing Reincarnation Beliefs Across Cultures
Although cultural data has been collected for as long as 130 years, the use of that data for cross-cultural investigation was limited and lacked methodological credibility. The data were not collected with the idea of being used in strictly comparable ways, trends and theories changed over time, and data elements were often missing. The computational methods developed by Dow and Eff, along with...
متن کاملUtility Computing and Global Grids
This chapter focuses on the use of Grid technologies to achieve utility computing. An overview of how Grids can support utility computing is first presented through the architecture of Utility Grids. Then, utility-based resource allocation is described in detail at each level of the architecture. Finally, some industrial solutions for utility computing are discussed.
متن کاملGlobal Computing for Bioinformatics
Global computing, the collaboration of idle PCs via the Internet in a SETI@home style, emerges as a new way of massive parallel multiprocessing with potentially enormous CPU power. Its relations to the broader, fast-moving field of Grid computing are discussed without attempting a review of the latter. This review (i) includes a short table of milestones in global computing history, (ii) lists ...
متن کاملGlobal public computing
High-bandwidth networking and cheap computing hardware are leading to a world in which the resources of one machine are available to groups of users beyond their immediate owner. This trend is visible in many different settings. Distributed computing, where applications are divided into parts that run on different machines for load distribution, geographical dispersion, or robustness, has recen...
