Successor to cloud computing, aka tweelter new architecture

Wednesday, January 20th, 2010 | Web | Comments

When you have to perform a real big amount of operations you have two options

  • Increase your computational power (like using a cloud solution or scale on more servers)
  • Move your computations to the most available cloud platform of the world: your users
To improve tweelter performances and avoid overloading twitter API we are studying a new computational architecture for tweelter which can return results to the user faster and give less overhead to our servers.
The key to achieve the result is to move most of the search overhead to the computers of the other users currently viewing tweelter, like SETI@home does, by using tweelter you would speed up other users searches and also your own searches.
