A Simple Grid Computing Synchronization Solution

Posted by Hemos on from the syncing-nicely dept.

atari_kid writes "NewScientist.com is running a article about a simple solution to the synchronization problems involved in distributed computing. Gyorgy Korniss and his colleagues at the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute proposed that each computer in a grid synchronize by occasionally checking with a randomly chosen computer in the network instead of centralizing the grid by having a global supervisor."

    I really hope not, because I live in Troy, and my dad works at RPI.

    I'd actually heard they were going to be attending Rocehster Institute of Technology, anyway, which is where my boyfriend will most likely be going next year.

    But hey, this is the internet, and random rumours abound. They could be not going at all, or going somewhere entirely different, and chances are, there'd be some rumour that they were going to just about any large university you care to think of.
