SwarmOS Demonstrated at Idea Festival

PacoCheezdom writes "Intelligent Life has short summary of a demonstration by MIT professor James McLurkin of his new group-minded robots, which run an operating system called 'Swarm OS'. The robots are able to work together as a group not by communicating with all members of the group at once, but by talking only to their neighbors, and model other similar behaviors performed by bees and ants.

I think they need a bigger Swarm for their server!

Tried to RTFA and got this instead:

"This Account Has Exceeded Its CPU Quota

Please contact this site's webmaster.

Wait a few minutes and use your browser's "Back" button or click here to try again.

If you are the webmaster, your account may have gotten this error for one or more of the following reasons:

        * Your account has used more than its share of the cpu in the past 60 second sliding window.
        * Your account has too many concurrent processes running simultanously.
        * Your account has consumed too much memory.
        * Your site was recently very busy trying to run inefficient scripts.

The solution would be to optimize your applications to use less CPU.
Adding appropriate indeces to your SQL tables can often help reduce CPU.
Using static .html documents instead of painful .php scripts will practically eliminate CPU usage."

If anyone has a working link, please share. I was actually interested in *GASP!* reading the article.
