A project creating Grid Computing out of Embedded Hardware systems. PhD candidate [Renzo De Nardi] recently completed a prototype [Ultra Swarm] device, a craft the project believes to be the smallest flying Web Server in the world. Once the whole flock has been completed, the onboard computers will be configured as a [PicoNet] (a network of devices connected in an ad hoc manner via Blue Tooth), "with the master on the arena-based computer system," Hollands says... According to MobIle computing module maker [GumStix], the [Grid Swarm] and [Ultra Swarm] projects are making use of its "[GumStix]" computing modules - tiny computer boards about the size of a stick of gum, but powered by the same Intel [XScale] processor often used in PDA-s, LinuxOS smartphones, and other relatively powerful MobIle Multi Media devices.
