Cloud Computing Wikipedia

Kurzfilm ber die Mglichkeiten und Nutzung der Cloud Animationsfilm: Was passiert in einer Cloud?

Unter Cloud Computing (deutsch etwa Rechnen in der Wolke) versteht man das Speichern von Daten in einem entfernten Rechenzentrum, aber auch die Ausfhrung von Programmen, die nicht auf dem lokalen Arbeitsplatzcomputer oder Server installiert sind, sondern eben entfernt in der (metaphorischen) Wolke (englisch cloud). [1]

Technischer formuliert umschreibt das Cloud Computing den Ansatz, abstrahierte IT-Infrastrukturen (z.B. Rechenkapazitt, Datenspeicher, Netzwerkkapazitten oder auch fertige Software) dynamisch an den Bedarf angepasst ber ein Netzwerk zur Verfgung zu stellen. Aus Nutzersicht scheint die zur Verfgung gestellte abstrahierte IT-Infrastruktur fern und undurchsichtig, wie von einer Wolke verhllt. Angebot und Nutzung dieser Dienstleistungen erfolgen dabei ausschlielich ber definierte technische Schnittstellen und Protokolle sowie ber lokale Browserfunktionen. Die Spannweite der im Rahmen des Cloud Computings angebotenen Dienstleistungen umfasst das gesamte Spektrum der Informationstechnik und beinhaltet unter anderem Infrastruktur (z.B. Rechenleistung, Speicherplatz), Plattformen und Software.[2]

Der Zugriff auf die entfernten Systeme erfolgt ber ein Netzwerk, beispielsweise das des Internets. Es gibt aber im Kontext von Firmen auch sogenannte Private Clouds, bei denen die Bereitstellung ber ein firmeninternes Intranet erfolgt. Die meisten Anbieter von Cloudlsungen nutzen die Pooling-Effekte, die aus der gemeinsamen Nutzung von Ressourcen entstehen, fr ihr Geschftsmodell.

2009 verffentlichte das National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) eine Definition,[3] die auf weitgehende Akzeptanz stie und unterschiedliche Definitionsanstze bndelt:

Cloud Computing enthlt die drei verschiedenen Servicemodelle:

Zudem enthlt die Definition des National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST) vier Liefermodelle[5]:

Das NIST listet fnf essenzielle Charakteristika fr Cloud Computing:

Demzufolge geht Cloud Computing ber andere gegenwrtig diskutierte Anstze (Organic Computing) (Virtualisierung) hinaus. Unter der Bedingung einer ffentlichen Verfgbarkeit, hnlich beispielsweise dem ffentlichen Telefonnetz, kann man Cloud Computing je nach Architektur auch als Summe von SaaS und Utility Computing ansehen.[6]

Die Cloud ist eines der ltesten Sinnbilder der Informationstechnik und steht als solches fr Rechnernetze, deren Inneres unbedeutend oder unbekannt ist.[7]

Chess Engines – Tim Mann

Are you writing a chess engine that you want to have work with XBoard and/or WinBoard? Are you writing a chess user interface or other tool and want it to work with the same engines that work with XBoard and WinBoard? Here are some pointers.

First, read the Chess Engine Communication Protocol document, which describes the protocol that XBoard and WinBoard use to communicate with engines. This document is also included with the XBoard/WinBoard source code, available through the GNU XBoard project page.

Second, go to the WinBoard Forum and ask the folks there for help and advice if you need it.

There are literally hundreds of chess engines (programs that play chess) that work with XBoard and/or WinBoard. I gave up on keeping an updated list years ago, and the old list that used to be here contained so many dead links that I have deleted it.

Some good places to find out about chess engines that you can use include Leo Dijksman's web site and the WinBoard Forum. Also see the other links on my Chess Web Sites page.

Bitcoin – Wikipedia, la enciclopedia libre

Bitcoin, tambin Bitcin[3] (signo: ; abr.: BTC, XBT[4] ) es una criptodivisa descentralizada concebida en 2009 por Satoshi Nakamoto. El trmino se aplica tambin al protocolo y a la red P2P que lo sustenta.

Las transacciones en Bitcoin se realizan de forma directa, sin la necesidad de un intermediario. Al contrario de la mayora de las monedas, Bitcoin no est respaldado por ningn gobierno ni depende de la confianza en ningn emisor central,[5] sino que utiliza un sistema de prueba de trabajo para impedir el doble gasto y alcanzar el consenso entre todos los nodos que integran la red.[6]

Bitcoin es un proyecto relativamente nuevo que se encuentra en evolucin. Por esta razn, sus desarrolladores recomiendan ser cautos y tratarlo como software experimental.[7]

Desde la dcada de 1970, la utilizacin de firmas digitales basadas en criptografa de clave pblica ha proporcionado un fuerte control de propiedad.[8][Nota 1] Sobre la base de la criptografa de clave pblica, en 1998 Wei Dai describe b-Money,[9] una solucin descentralizada al problema de pagos electrnicos. Posteriormente, Nick Szabo y Hal Finney extienden y complementan el trabajo de Wei Dai.

En 2008, Satoshi Nakamoto publica un artculo en la lista de criptografa de metzdowd.com donde describe el protocolo Bitcoin.[8][10][11]

El 3 de enero de 2009 la red P2P de Bitcoin entra en funcionamiento con la publicacin del primer cliente, de cdigo abierto, y la creacin de los primeros bitcoines. Hasta la invencin de bitcoin era obligado que todos los pagos en el comercio electrnico se canalizaran a travs de entidades centralizadas de confianza,[12] generalmente bancos y otras empresas financieras, que gestionaban el seguimiento de todas las transacciones.

Aunque existen monedas[13] y billetes fabricados por particulares y empresas, normalmente para poder comerciar con bitcoines se utilizan programas cliente,[Nota 2] que pueden ser aplicaciones nativas o aplicaciones web.

Las aplicaciones nativas[14][15] se instalan o se ejecutan directamente en ordenadores o en dispositivos mviles.[Nota 3] Tambin pueden ejecutarse automticamente cuando el usuario clica en un navegador web sobre un enlace que cumple con el formato del URI scheme de bitcoin segn la especificacin registrada en IANA.[16]

Bitcoin Core es el nico programa que implementa totalmente el protocolo, protegiendo la red, y se considera la referencia en la que se apoyan el resto de clientes existentes. Bitcoin Core necesita descargar completamente la cadena de bloques y almacenarla localmente, lo que puede llegar a tardar varios das. Su uso solo se recomienda para usuarios avanzados que deseen aportar a la estabilidad de la red.

Las aplicaciones web solo necesitan de un navegador, y por tanto estn accesibles desde todas las plataformas, ya sean de escritorio (Windows, Linux, Mac OS X) o mviles (Android, iPhone, BlackBerry, tabletas, etc).
