Talk:Distributed Virtual Supercomputer
I found this at the computer science portal:
- Proposed Learning project: 3DTheater.org - 3D Framework and SDK for live or scripted networked 3D Video-Game quality Wikiversity events such as school plays, sporting events, class sessions or virtual social events. Any 3D renderable setting may be explored.[[1]] Any variation of live acting, scripted actor sequences or Artificial Intelligent natural language responses may be incorporated. Any new Virtual 3D Sport may be created to obey its own laws of physics. Any other conceivable (legal and ethical) use for this virtual space could be entertained. The aim of this project would be to raise the level of user configurability such that--like in these wiki pages--the browser can quickly become the author, rendering assets for our 3D virtual campus, and breaking new ground in the field of virtual technology.
- This will take a lot of computer resource like what is proposed or a lot of cash to implement, maybe both. Mirwin 18:04, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
I think getting people use to distributed computing first, then talking about developing a BONIC project. Probably in another year or so we will have enough computer science people that would be interested. As it stands now, Com sci is are most popular area.--Rayc 20:32, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
Merry band of volunteers[edit source]
This is a facinating project. I agree with Rayc that it may be ahead of its time, but I also see the need to get a seed server in place. The Wikiversity:Sandbox Server may be a possibility, so I listed this project on that page. Mirwin, if you have the time, meet us at #wikiversity-en and we might can sift through some details in real time. CQ 03:32, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
- Oh btw, our local Linux/BSD user group, PaducahNix has been at Stanford's Folding@home project for a couple of years and ranked 718th as of this post. (No brag, just fact.) CQ 05:25, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
- CQ, I left you a note basically saying lets discuss the details asynchrounously here if you and Rayc do not mind. I am not really familar with or setup for IRC. Mirwin 08:30, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
Active?[edit source]
Is this project active at all? Is it worth advertising it on the Wikiversity:Getting involved page? What can people do to get involved? Cormaggio talk 13:00, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
