The new up and coming computing cloud has unlimited uses - I just got to figure some of them out...
For example: Who is interested in unlimited computing power for a very short period of time? Well, the first thing that popped into my mind was code-breaking; brute-force breaking of encrypted data. (I don't know what that tells you about me, but, anyway...)
How do we know that all these cool new compute clouds are not used for "evil"? I guess we don't. And I guess we just have to increase out keylengths again...
Another interesting usage is of course all kinds of pattern matching that pops up in all sorts of businesses, like fraud analysis, DNA-matching, usage patterns, ...
These are all heavy processes working with wast loads of data - which is a problem. To be able to search through all that data we first have to upload it. Or store it there in the cloud in the first place. Code breaking is much more effective in that area: a small amount of data and lots of processing.
Well, now all I have to do is figure out some cool "hello cloud"-app that needs lots of CPU working with a small amount of data.
Any ideas?
