Need For a Simple Distributed Computing Tools

I have been working on a few hobby project these days. while going through,I came across two key challenges.

Challenge One

"The Need to tap in to parallel processing power of all the resources one might have in a simple way"

Assume the scenario of a person who is in a need to jump start a research activity/ some computationally intensive task, which needs a large computing power & resources. And he or she is in such a situation that they want to be able in include resources in much more dynamic way & is on a Mobile or Adhoc network where anything can happen. At the very same time i don't want to ignore the point that these days even our mobile devices have turned so powerful (a typical arm cpu of Samsung s4 will churn out 49 Gigaflops). And the overall system should be simple to use understand & operate. I came across a thess work Self organised software agents where the agent programs are designed in such a way that they understands the environment & behaves accodringly

Challenge Two

Flexibility to code ones solution in a known language & that it can be executed in massively parallel way. 
A simple solution found was to allow the algorithm to be build as blocks of programs. each block does a single job & uses a secondary scripting to define how the blocks of program be executed each block will be placed on a dependency graph, where the program starts from its start block and travels to stop block, which is as simple as defining a flow chart. To achieve parallelism each block can tell its either its a sequential block or a parallel block. Each block can issued new jobs which will be be en-queued in to the graph & executed

So the end solution is two tools in which 

one is software agents & the other one is a tool to generate or script the job for agent

when is comes to distributed computing two key factors controlling its performance is 

1. location of data or information
2. location of the program or algorithm which has to process the data

This is being resolved as program are written in blocks or small program chuncks
A global & local data pools



This was the story behind part for Acompute.

The Indian supremacy theory.

The I ndian supremacy theory : I believe We Indians are supreme above every other human races in the world cuz we are more humane, we are open to incorporate other cultures evolve & adapt to take in the goodness from others & also share what's good in ours. We are more humane & we care for our family & love them more than anything else in the world. We are superior cuz we don't separate ourselves from other people on the basis caste Creed religion nationality. We belong to a bigger United world. Working together for a common goal "betterment of life of everyone in this world & other". By referring one as an "Indian" we point to those people who, no matter where, when, how he or she born or live,  live a life of loving & caring, irrespective & above of all the caste Creed classification, working for the betterment of life & there by the Nature and the Oneness . Don't separate ourselves from other cuz, we are different

Out of curiosity a port of love letter generator in c#

This  is   for  my Harley - Queen(still waiting):  this   is  a cook up code to tinker around: using  System; using  System . Text;   namespace  LoveLetter {      internal   class   Program     {    static   string  NextRandomWord( string [] arr, Random rand)  =>  arr[rand . Next( 0 , arr . Length)];          private   static   void  Main()         {              var  salutation1  =   new   string [] {  "Beloved" ,  "Darling" ,  "Dear" ,            "Dearest" ,  "Fanciful" ,  "Honey"  };              var  salutation2  =   new   string [] {  "Chickpea" ,  "Dear" ,                        "Duck" ,  "Jewel" ,  "Love" ,  "Moppet" ,  "Sweetheart"  };              var  adjs  =   new   string [] {  "affectionate" ,  "amorous" ,  "anxious" ,              "avid" ,  "beautiful" ,  "breathless" ,  "

Programming challenge: escape from devil & whirlpool

  Problem : Between Devil and Deep Sea Below is the story line  A band of pirates have made loot. By their misfortune though, instant Karma is delivered. While they are travelling a treacherous route in the high and the deep seas they are also haunted by a devil, perhaps a spirit who suffered at their hands previously. The pirates now have to make tricky decisions. They run forward to save themselves from the Devil, but the deep seas force them backwards. There is a danger of falling in a whirlpool if they move forward rashly and there is a danger of being caught by the Devil if they move too much back. But move they must. First they recede backwards B meters and then advance forward F meters, in a straight line. They cover 1 meter in T units of time. This backward and forward movement is performed repeatedly by the Pirates because they have panicked. Your task is to find out if they will perish at the hands of the Devil or they will get sucked into the whirlpool of the Dee
