01 Abstract of this article

————

The biggest contradiction in the future of mankind is the contradiction between the growing data processing and limited computing power, the essence of cloud computing It's not just computing resources and storage resources. If end users also have computing resources or storage resources that can be used, why can't they be used?

In October 2016, Alibaba Cloud announced a comprehensive price reduction of cloud products in China, with a maximum reduction of 50%. This is the 17th time Alibaba Cloud has lowered prices within a year. When the price cut will cause a price war in cloud computing, there is an interesting piece of news:



Zhang Jie, a commentator of China Economic Net, said in the "My Caijing" program that this phenomenon reflects a deeper problem, and there are more policy makers in our country. Think. Cloud computing uses the rich resources of the client's computer to calculate. After installing various software and doing some word processing, the computer is idle at 70% and busy at 30%. Now basically the computer is busy at 70%. % or more, the extras are used for cloud computing and I don’t know yet. There are many computers in China, the relevant legal threshold restrictions are the least, and the cost is low. There are many legal restrictions in foreign countries, and the cost is definitely high.



Zhang Jie pointed out that in the past, we used the spare capacity of the client's computer to perform calculations for others without letting the client fully know that the client could not charge or share the money. We called it rogue software. It is now called cloud computing. Some places in foreign countries have legal restrictions and must share money with customers. However, when some companies in China use the resources of other people's computers to provide cloud services, they do not give users any money, which is why the cost is low. And the reason for the price reduction.



——The news content comes from the Internet. Some people who



understand will laugh, and some people will repost it on Moments to express ridicule; those who don’t understand don’t know what’s going on.



However, looking back, the essence of cloud computing is not computing resources and storage resources. If end users also have computing resources or storage resources that can be used, why not use them?



It's not impossible, let's look at two concepts first:



distributed computing



Distributed computing is a computing method, which is relative to centralized computing.
