the chest of memories came to receive the documentation of my final project. I was surprised to reread the introduction my work (a computer simulation framework applied to cache coherence in NUMA machines) and I clearly see what they say: I am of letters and a mole in the technology world. I'll post the introduction of three fragments. To put this into context, let us consider that I wrote back in 2005, I have not changed a comma and then it was probably a lot smarter now ...
Proponents of strong AI, heirs to the association psychology, based his belief in the strength of the Turing model in which complex algorithms that define the mental processes have only been out of the current practical achievements Turing machine technology disability. It would be enough for them to increase the ability to create more complex and fast processors for more complex algorithms could be resolved in human times (assuming that these algorithms are definable).
Moreover, as we have seen, another line of research would deny the Turing completeness of the model itself and explore new practical achievements of prototypes based on existing technologies. In this sense, it addresses the implementation of algorithms in parallel: the same way that the functioning of a human being is based on the binding of the mini work of millions of singles (Neurons) that deal with small amounts of information received by their systems of input / output (sensory organs), and the future model that correctly completed the current machine would be based on the parallel execution of different tasks by processors, not necessarily complex, and the final processing of all this information in a kernel, not necessarily nuclear, ie they could be distributed on several machines-that would serve as the brain in the machine.
Thus arises the concept of cluster could be defined as a set of computers that come together to contribute, in aggregate, to better performance total computer. We might refer to high-performance multiprocessor machines by a particular manufacturer or sets of computers built using common hardware components, typically personal computers. The clusters will provide from the technological point of view, from its origins, solutions to problems that were left unresolved.
