New Decentralized Supercomputer Being Built with 1.5 Million Nodes
The interest in supercomputers has been sparked, as Nexus has announced the creation of a new decentralized supercomputer with over 1.5 million nodes. The test network, which ran from December 9 to 13, has confirmed the global demand for trust-based innovations in blockchain and AI.
Despite being decentralized, Nexus maintains close control over the processes within the supercomputer. According to Daniel Marin, CEO of Nexus, “we knew we had to reduce the entry threshold to scale this global distributed test network.” As a result, they have made it easier for anyone with any device to connect to the network.
Notably, even in some countries, such as Ethiopia and Poland, mobile devices accounted for a higher percentage of interactions than desktop computers. Marin emphasized that Nexus is choosing which programs to provide on the network at this time. However, they plan to introduce an evaluation process in the future where new programs can be submitted for consideration.
While Nexus may not be the first to leverage distributed computing power, they are not alone either. The SETI@home project by Berkeley University used internet-connected computers to search for extraterrestrial intelligence, but it ended in 2020. Other projects like Internet Computer, Golem Network, and Zennet have also developed similar infrastructure.
It remains to be seen how this new decentralized supercomputer will fare, but with the current trends and interest in blockchain and AI, it seems that Nexus is betting on a successful outcome.
