Think of all that power
By combining the machines networked to it, anyone using The Grid would have an unprecedented amount of processing and computing power available to them.
Imagine the machines used to create the effects on Transformers and Pirates of the Caribbean films and then double it. That’s the kind of power each user of The Grid has at their disposal.
At the moment, The Grid is the exclusive tool of the LHC research scientists, engineers and pharmaceutical researchers, but it already has implications for us humble net-users.
The Grid is coming
A number of communications companies are working on applying dynamic switching to its net services; a technology which creates dedicated channels for people wanting to download films and other large files exclusively.
In fact, we’re already seeing something of The Grid’s influence in fibre optic broadband, currently being rolled out across the country.
