Networking Your Washing Machine您的网络洗衣机

Your washing machine or air-conditioning unit could one day be networked in a giant global grid and used to help efforts such as the您的洗衣机或空调机组可以一天联网，在一个巨大的全球网格和用来帮助的努力，如 SETI@Home搜寻地外文明@家 project,项目 Folding@Home折叠@家 , the now ended Lifesaver project, or even ，到此结束， lifesaver项目，或什至 LHC@Home lhc @家 . 。

Well…not quite, but a simple system for hooking together domestic gadgets that contain a compact computer chip could help save on your power costs by allowing your air-conditioning unit to do weather forecasts, or help you extract the text for your next blog post from your digital dictation machine.以及…不大，但一个简单的系统连接在一起国内的小工具包含一个紧凑型的电脑芯片可以帮助保存在您的电力成本，让您的空调机组做天气预报，或帮助您提取文字为您明年的博客帖子从您的数码听写机。

According to Takehiko Demiya, Tomoki Yoshihisa, and Masanori Kanazawa of Kyoto University, Japan, the kinds of compact computers present in modern white goods - washing machines, tumble dryers, refrigerators and even computerised air-conditioning units, have none of the memory capacity nor the processing speed of a standard desktop or notebook computer.据武彦demiya ， tomoki久，政金泽和京都大学，日本，种紧凑型电脑目前在现代白色家电-洗衣机，干衣机翻滚，冰箱和电脑，甚至空气调节系统的单位，有没有记忆能力，也没有处理速度的一个标准的桌上型或笔记型电脑。 They are certainly small chips when compared with the kind of supercomputing power used to control large-scale physics experiments such as the LHC (他们当然是小的芯片相比，该种超级权力用来控制大型物理实验，例如以lhc （ Large Hadron Collider大强子对撞机 ) fired up recently at CERN, birthplace of the Web. ）发射了最近在CERN的，诞生地网页。

Writing in International Journal of Communication Networks and Distributed Systems, Demiya and colleagues outline a plan for creating a Grid, a distributed network, of compact computers, that could help solve many problems despite the shortcomings of white-goods computers.以书面形式在国际杂志的通信网络和分布式系统， demiya和他的同事纲要计划，为创造一个网格，分布式网络，紧凑型电脑，可以帮助解决很多问题，尽管缺点，白色货车的电脑。

Anyone who has tried the SETI@Home screensaver or similar downloads, is probably aware that these tools utilize spare power on your computer while it’s online but not in use.任何人谁也尝试搜寻地外文明@ Home的屏幕保护程序或类似的下载，可能是知道这些工具的运用备件的权力在您的计算机上，而它的线上，而不是在使用中。 With a large task, in this case analyzing radio signals from space, broken down into bite-sized chunks, each desktop computer can tackle a small part of a much bigger problem, with all the results from hundreds of thousands, if not millions of computers, being pooled together.一个大型的任务，在这种情况下分析的无线电信号，从太空，分解成一口大小块，每个桌面计算机能够处理的一小部分，一个更大的问题，与所有的结果，从数十万，如果不是以百万计的电脑，正在汇集在一起。 It is akin to a supercomputer running a computation across dozens of processors.这是类似一台超级计算机运行计算全国几十个处理器。 An unwieldy job becomes manageable.一笨重的工作，成为管理的。

There is no reason why the concept of distributed computing, or a Grid network, cannot be applied to lesser computers, such as those found in domestic and office devices, other than PCs and iPhones.是没有理由的概念，分布式计算，或网格，不能适用于较小的计算机，例如那些发现在国内和办公设备，除了电脑和iphones 。 Indeed, the researchers explain the idea of Grid computing has attracted a great deal of attention in recent years because it essentially has no limits.事实上，研究人员解释的概念网格运算，已吸引了大量的关注，近年来，因为它基本上没有限制。

The researchers see the potential of a compact computer Grid as helping improve the way such devices themselves work, rather than searching for ET or solving biomedical problems like protein folding.研究人员看到的潜力，紧凑的计算机网格，作为协助改善的方式，例如设备本身的工作，而非搜索等或解决生物医学问题，例如蛋白质折叠。

For instance, some devices, such as solid-state voice recorders, can record one’s voice, but lack the power to do voice recognition either to identify the speaker or convert voice to text.比如，有的设备，如坚实的国家录音机，可以录制一的声音，但缺乏权力这样做无论是语音识别，以确定发言者的声音，或将其转换为文本。 These two features would be very useful to a wide range of people.这两个特点将是非常有益的，以各种各样的人。

Similarly, air-conditioning units usually have a thermostat, but a more powerful and energy-efficient system would monitor outside weather conditions and base its output on its forecast.同样地，空气调节系统的单位，通常有一个恒温器，但一个更强大和能源效率的制度，将监测以外的气候条件和基础，其输出就其预测。

By networking such devices, the principles of Grid computing could be engaged and allow multiple compact computers to work in parallel to solve sophisticated problems that would normally be only possible with a modern desktop PC.网络设备等，原则网格运算，可以从事和允许多个紧凑型电脑的工作并行，以解决复杂的问题，通常是唯一可行的，与现代台式PC 。

The team has developed a new grid computing system using the compact computers that are embedded in many home electronics devices that allows complex tasks to be shared by many networked devices but without interrupting the everyday tasks to which the device is usually dedicated, keeping people cooling, washing dishes, drying clothes etc. Grid networking such devices could lead to their more efficient and effective use as well as opening up the possibility of novel applications.该小组已制定了一个新的网格运算系统使用紧凑的电脑都嵌入在许多家用电子设备，使复杂的任务，以共享许多网络设备，但没有中断，每天的任务，其中装置通常是专用，使人们的冷却，洗碗，烘干衣服等电网联网等设备可能会导致他们更有效率和更有效地利用，以及开放的可能性，小说的申请。
