After getting back from vacations I power up my home InterCloud HCI. Purpose? getting some work done... I am falling behind in my blogging lately and have to catch up. I'm feeling proud for this masterbeast of technology I recently acquired, as it comes into life. The new ICC256, 256 cores using the standard 256-bit morph-processing acting either as single nodes or participating in an ad hoc stream chain, 256 ic-addressing! talk about a Cloud age eh? most of them needed to talk to the IntraCloud devices-archivers, screens,media servers,game clientsand other peripherals and a only a few for the ExtraCouds such as my company, a couple of banks the InterCloud and an interface for the old Internet needed for my research, 256 TB in the local cache tree able to cache half the Clouds' available services for zero latenzy, and 256 GB in the first level to minimize paging faults and blitz response.
Like I said a Masterbeast.
It curiously took a couple of seconds today to get me to the signature screen... Aha new artwork on the background! could we moved up on a new version of the FSF SASOS? Seems like major upgrade or they wouldn't change the artwork, so long for the Dolphin. I wonder what new they put in. Local caching of the new modules schould be complete by now. I take my personal multipen and sign while the pen readies my fingerprints and oPenID for authorization to the Cloud my signature gets validated and I am in. Something I am, something I have and something I know, I mused... the three cornerstones of authentication in one move straight from the past.
When I am in I go straight to the console to query for the new system that was cached and see if I can select some optional precachings on things I will probably use - play to be more accurate - the half second delay of first use can be an annoyance but games could need a minute or more...
Anyway what kind of IT would I be if I don't mess around in the innards a bit eh?.
So for starters a new SYSQL console appears, probably incorporating the latest draft proposals that found their way to the standart last week ago- wow those FSF guys at Karlshrue are fast I wonder when Google and Microsoft will catch up. Microsoft's Singularity isn't bad but it's slow, they say it's safer but.
So let's see what else is new... more caching servers upstream, a few changes in the load balancing scheme, and a yes quite a block of addresses getting getting shored off the coastline of the address sea. Who needs all these obsolete stuff anyway, most were just old xml webservices ported to the Cloud no match for pure binary CloudEntities. Finally a set of updates and some new citizens on the hardware microkernels population, we still call them drivers traditionally but they are true CloudEntities servicing their hardware on the IntraCloud. The era of the cheap cores has led to every device getting one. And then getting each device being the physical manifestation of a CloudEntity.
It was quite a shift as I recall, objects, modules, services getting fused into CloudEntities. Each with it's special Island in the Address Sea. Not method call anymore or class Interfaces. Just CloudEntities, Ports and Protocols. It was just a natural evolution of the Net into the Cloud, prefixing good old fashioned pointers with the IPv6 addressess promoted automagicaly class Instances to Services fusing the old Internet Address space with the Adress space thus making processors cloud aware. It solved also the problem of sharing the Address Sea to world and where each company would publich their CloudEntities. Local Caching went into the private space of 192.168.0.0 and such, Also by extending the DNS to resolve not only names into addresses but also Method names into Ports solved name mangling and other binary manifestation problems. Next was the protocol name morphing into a namespace of standard protocols. Programming got a network feeling. Want to draw a circle on your screen? opengl://defaultscreen.lc:drawcircle/0.0,0.0,1 where lc the localcloud in short. That was at first the way to doit... It got better though with the years...
We are now in the Second Era of InterCloud halfway until the next Great Reboot - the only restriction of the Address Sea-It needs to get flushed from time to time... But it has become the standard way of keeping count... Anyway it has been scheduled to move up in 512-bit Address Sea on the next Great Reboot in about 10-12 years and anyone still employing 256-bit cores will lose half his capacity. But it will be a while, ICC512 is expected to reach markets in 4 years plenty of time to upgrade.
Hail Utopia All Hail Cloudia
