Big Brain Summary

Part of the Big Brain
The Big Brain is a Giant Thinking Machine made from Parallax Propeller chips. This brain is a Machine Life Form with semi-cognizance on a mission of purpose not yet revealed, exploring both inner and outer space.

The Big Brain is actually many things. It represents a metaphor of comparison standards, an anthropomorphic machine with human qualities, an evolving machine that grows with time, the device by which new projects are undertaken, new inventions and machines created, and it represents the inspiration of new ideas and a grand exploration of science and the worlds of inner and outer space.

It was the Big Brain that invented Micro Space, the ideal environment for schools to partake in the study of space projects, aerospace, rocketry, and fun things like launching insect astronauts, measuring zero-G, exploring aerial photography with key chain cameras, and creating and flying new space crafts within the realm of a classroom.

Then the Big Brain took space to the outer limits, reaching the time twisted relativistic event horizon of Black Hole jets, and ultimately exploring the edge of the Universe across vast deep cosmic chasms where objects are drawn in and lost within the great abysses of trillions of stars and galaxies, portals to new universes, and new objects residing in the temporal depths of space and time waiting to be explored.

The Big Brain has spun off some massive and powerful tools, like the GMM Genius Molecular Microscope that can amplify millions of times, and the one and only PGT Paradigmic Genius Telescope made from Space Adjuncts powerfully summated to 7,000 miles aperture. It explores the fascinating inner worlds of the Propeller chip and Nanotechnology. It created simplex neurons and nano probes, and has become a life form, reaching a level of semi-cognizance. The Big Brain is now a decade old, birthed in the year 2002 from a single growing Parallax processor.

Projects are conducted "for, by and about the The Big Brain" with the assistance of Humanoido and Lab Facilities.

The Big Brain Propeller Machine Microscopy Initiative for the Parallax Propeller Chip is accomplished in part with Apple Mac computers, OSX and AMD Streaming GPU Processors.

The Propeller Chip Nano Technology Project is created to study, develop and explore a tiny infinitesimal world existing inside the Parallax Propeller chip.

The TinyCOSMOS is the developing Microcosm Universe inside the chip. Nano Machines are created with purpose to exist and function inside the chip. 

The Ultra Space Program takes us from here to the edge of the Universe.

Many Sub Projects are created for academic purposes and to investigate and answer questions about the scientific worlds surrounding the Big Brain.

Mac Supercomputer Reveal

PROPELLER POWERED BIG BRAIN
BUILD A RIGHT BRAIN MAC SUPERCOMPUTER - STEP 1

Step One  This blog details some of the operations of the Big Brain's supercomputing methodology. Let's talk about the Right Brain which has Mac computers connected together. Do you have two Macs? If so, let's see what we can do to increase efficiency. In this first step reveal, we'll learn how to connect Mac Computers and use the resources from one Mac on another Mac. This can include hard drives, printers, attached Propeller chip data, folders, files, the Desktop, Flash Drives and other devices. Managing these resources makes supercomputing easier. Again, this is the first step in the most simple config.

To begin, we'll take a new iMac, a half TB drive, two full TB capacity drives and connect to an INTEL Based Duo Core MacBook. First find a short length Ethernet cable and connect one Mac to the other, same as you would connect internet to the Ethernet port. Next, boot one Mac and go into the System Preferences and setup File Sharing. Remember to set privileges for yourself and if you used passwords, enter those as required. Keep in mind the name of the computer as indicated in the setup window. Repeat the process after booting up the second Mac. Go to the finder and open the window and you should see the other computer name and icon. Double click it and access some folders. If everything is set up correctly, you'll be online connected between both computers and can access one from the other, including all the available peripherals and internals. This is the beginning of your new supercomputing network. We may continue this upgrade reveal, showing how to add more computers in the future and handle parallel operations, even parallel programming - the key to supercomputing.

High Performance Cluster Computing

Humanoido Labs - PROPELLER POWERED BIG BRAIN
BIG BRAIN ENTERS HIGH PERFORMANCE CLUSTER COMPUTING
The range of Macs
All hands on deck - The Brain has the best of several worlds including Arrays of Parallax Propeller chips on the left hand and a cluster of Macs on the right hand. Working together it looks as though they can take on any project we put in its path.

We expand the Left Brain with Parallax Propeller Arrays and expand the Right Brain with Apple Macs..

Improvements in parallel processing on the left and right hands have ushered in a new era for the Brain. Tasking is divided up in Parallel across several Macs which can be expanded in the cluster. Performance continues to improve and increase as Macs are added to the Cluster. Software runs on each clustered computer to enable parallel computing. Even with a small Right Brain addition, the add-on can amplify the speed 2X and 5X for significant TeraFLOPs processing gains.

One thing about Parallel computing.. One cannot just run a program like PhotoShop. The app must be developed and programmed specifically for parallel computing. One potential here for this system is programming in ForTran language and it would be interesting to have a Parallel ForTran. Apps can be developed in other languages, even BASIC versions.

By trashing keyboards and monitors and running code on one Mac designated resource to remotely control the other Macs, the overall config can be simplified and reduced in cost. Need to compile your parallel Mac code? Check these sources.
