NEWS: Wanted: A Million Computers For Climate Modeling
WANTED: A MILLION COMPUTERS FOR CLIMATE MODELING A climatologist at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in Chilton, England is calling for volunteers to assist him in evaluating the accuracy of computer models of the earth's climate. Myles Allen, head of the Casino-21 project, says by harnessing the power of at least a million computer desktop machines, he could compare the numerous variables included in computer models with actual data on weather patterns from 1950 to 2000. He could then extrapolate from those results predictions for each year from 2000 to 2050. The software to conduct the experiment would be installed as a screen saver on the volunteer's computer, and would run only when the computer was otherwise idle. "It would be a new way of approaching climate modeling," says Allen.
