Review on Golem by Fanuel PORPORTY
Golem, the world's first decentralized supercomputer, creating a new market for computing power
Golem is a decentralized supercomputer project. The objective is to create a global market (purchases / sales) of computing power. Golem connects computers on a peer-to-peer network to each other to allow users to lease computing power to other users. There is therefore a machine resource supplier on the one hand and a requester on the other. These resources can be used to perform tasks requiring significant time and computational capacity.
Golem also offers flexible tools to help developers distribute and monetize their software securely. This project should make it possible to significantly reduce the calculation costs necessary for the use of complex applications and software (such as software used in the cinema industry) and to make them more accessible.
Pros
- The advantage of this kind of supercomputer is that the computer park will naturally evolve according to the latest technologies (by the natural replacement of older machines by recent ones). No risk of obsolescence, as with centralized supercomputers that must be maintained and updated, then replaced.
- the blockchain which makes it possible to combine the power of all computers and then remunerate the suppliers.
- The Golem project responds to real demand on the market. More and more companies are looking for new IT resources to solve complex problems. There are so many pressing issues that remain unresolved at this time. We need computing power to solve it.
Cons
- Even if competition in the cryptosphere is not very important, on the "physical" market Golem will have to face cloud computing behemoths like Miscosoft or Amazon. These companies are already very well established in this field of activity. For a team like Golem's, this remains a major challenge.
