	Scale (computing) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Scale in the computing field is used as a verb.
		For example, some early P2P applications, such as Gnutella, had scaling issues as each node broadcast its requests to all peers.
		This means that the demand on each peer would in the worst case increase in proportion with the total number of peers, potentially quickly overrunning the peers' limited capacity.

	The Problem of Scale
		Problems in scaling and managing large-scale computing systems and applications are not new at all to the IT industry.
		For the first time in the history of computing, software applications would need to scale to support upwards of hundreds of millions of users throughout a day...this was not the domain of the LAN system administrators that were speckled throughout corporate IT departments.
		In absolute terms, the worldwide available computing resources (it would be great to have a metric here that was a worldwide composite index of network/cpu/storage) must far far outstrip the actual utilization of those resources.

	A Glimpse of Atomic-Scale Computing (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		It may also create computers that would never need to be plugged in and carry batteries that would never run out of power.
		But experts view the research as a critical step toward understanding how computers with millions, or even billions, of times more processing power that is known today might ultimately work.
		If today's microprocessors are replaced by nanotechnology, it would require a complete rethinking of what computers can be used for because new devices could be made infinitely small, yet infinitely powerful.

	Amorphous Computing Paper Listing
		Amorphous computing is the development of organizational principles and programming languages for obtaining coherent behavior from the cooperation of myriads of unreliable parts that are interconnected in unknown, irregular, and time-varying ways.
		The impetus for amorphous computing comes from developments in microfabrication and fundamental biology, each of which is the basis of a kernel technology that makes it possible to build or grow huge numbers of almost-identical information-processing units at almost no cost.
		The purpose of this note is to explore and communicate ideas related to the use of amorphous computers to numerical computing and, in particular, the simulation of partial differential equations.

	Architecture Journal - Enable Internet-Scale Computing
		Summary: High-performance computing (HPC) has evolved from a discipline solely concerned with efficient execution of code on parallel architectures to be more closely aligned with the field of distributed systems.
		From networks for workstations to the Internet, the high-performance computing community has long advocated composing individual computing resources in an attempt to provide higher quality of service (for example, in terms of processing time, size of data store, bandwidth and latency, remote instrument access, and special algorithm integration).
		In recent years this progression has been driven by the vision of "grid computing" where the computational, storage power, and specialist functionality of arbitrary networked devices is to be made available on demand to any other connected device that is allowed to access them.

	Tom White's Blog: Affordable Web-Scale Computing
		With the launch of Amazon S3 (Simple Storage Service) we are seeing a continuation of the trend for the big web companies to monetize their computing infrastructure by opening it up to developers.
		It is probably only a matter of time before we see Google create something similar, which would essentially be a limited public interface onto the Google File System.
		The pay-as-you-go model of S3 (and Sun Grid) would be very attractive to developers who want to run ad hoc computations, or can't afford the upfront investment in hardware.

	HP moves towards molecular-scale computing \| The Register
		The patent, issued by the U.S. Patent Office earlier this month to HP Labs scientists Phil Kuekes and Stan Williams, proposes a solution to the problem of connecting molecular-scale devices to today's much larger integrated circuits.
		HP says it is pursuing molecular electronics as an entirely new technology that could augment silicon-based integrated circuits within the decade and eventually replace traditional solid-state memories.
		Since it would be virtually impossible to make such precise connections with molecular-scale wires, the new patent proposes making connections randomly using a chemical process.
