What you can do with idle Computing Power?

This time we are going to see how to use idle computing power to do something good or make profit

1.Volunteer computing :
        It is an arrangement in which people (volunteers) provide computing resources to projects, which use the resources to do distributed computing and/or storage.

Simply donating the idle computing power to someone,Sounds cool right

 where it is used and what you can do with that ?
     Scientist have many problems to deal with such as finding a New planet,analyzing outer space,finding cure for cancer or other disease. They need lot of computational power to do this kind of project. Many scientist cannot spent their Funds entirely in computational power. So

                     BONIC - Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing

BONIC is created to address this problem anyone with computer connected to the internet can donate the computing power.It use the idle time on your computer to cure diseases, study global warming, discover pulsars, and do many other types of scientific research.

If you want to know about the projects under BIONIC you can check the below link

       " https://boinc.berkeley.edu/projects.php " 

And other cool thing about this project is you can also donate your Mobile power (Android,IOS )

2. Rendering Animation
      First we need to know what is rendering ?
          When you create animation in the software it is just store the details as equation,relations of objects ( Mathematical stuff ) in order to make it into 2D or 3D we will render it which is done automatically by the software but it takes huge amount of time.

 well we have a solution for that -> Donate the computing power 

 Here we are going to discuss donating power for Blender animation software ( It is free and open-source 3D computer graphics software toolset used for creating animated films, visual effects, art, 3D printed models, interactive 3D applications and video games ) 

 It can done through a program called Sheep it
people can upload their project to their site and the person can share his username and password which can used to login with sheep it client and we can set the number of cores and memory which can used by the process and press the start

3. Mining cryptocurrency
    Everyone know about this topic. Cryptocurrency uses computational power to blockchain integrity and Security.Mining currency is big trend right now you can earn lot if you use your computational power But it have lot of pros and cons.

 If you want to know more about mining cryptocurrency you can refer the site below

My experience in iOS Hackathon

This is my second hackathon, my first hackathon was on machine learning if you want to check out that article by following the below link https://thangaayyanar.blogspot.com/2018/02/what-i-learned-from-machine-learning.html So let's get started First let us discuss about the idea of what we are trying to achieve in this hackathon. From the above image you can able to know that we are going to recognize text from the image and use it to do find which field it is.  we separated this idea into three modules Identify the region Recognize the text  Field classification Module I : Identify the region To identify the selected region we used Vision framework ( ML framework provided by apple to detect the object ). The vision framework give us the boundary of the text region ( i.e frame - x,y,width,height ).  Then using the above region we crop the selected region and pass it to the next module. Module II : Recognize the text To recognize the text we ...

Vim - Text Editor which last for Decade

what's Vim?     Vim is a highly configurable text editor for efficiently creating and changing any kind of text. It is included as "vi" with most UNIX systems and with Apple OS X                                                                                                            ---> From Vim.org  when i first heard it, what a command line editor which is awesome and i said to myself  NO WAY, there are tons of editor which looks good and easy learn curve such as Atom,Sublime,VSCode and bunch others What makes vim special than other editors?  Different from everything you have used before ( because it has modes - insert mode,visual mode,Command mode ) Forget the mouse ( why?...

Demystify - Linux GUI

GUI In Linux GUI ( Graphics User Interface ) as everyone know about.  I am writing this article so that we can able to understand how to run GUI apps in containers but we need to understand how it works in linux. Why linux?   Most of the container we use are Linux based inorder run GUI in Linux we need know how it works.. Back in early days computer fill the entire room and if you want to access it you will be presented TTY (TeleType Machine) you can still see this screen if you press CTRL + ALT + F1 in Linux. ( To get back to GUI press CTRL + ALT + F7 ) Linux spin off 8 TTY when it boots ( we can configure more or less ) Graphics in linux is handled by bunch of little programs. They are Display manager Display manger which is the key component for graphics in which mainly graphics servers lie in linux the X.org is the defacto of Display manger. which has two components X Server  X Client Here little twist server talks to the client ( o...
