The Hive analytics platform brings a new paradigm of development for modeling, simulations, and analytics to address some of the world’s toughest challenges. These challenges have often been cost prohibitive to pursue due to expensive and limited access to the needed super computing resources. Scientists, engineers, governments, developers and researchers can leverage idle compute resources all around us to address these challenges, and bring new innovations and solutions for future technologies and products that will be life changing.

One such challenge is access to genomic sequencing and the needed modeling for the treatment of devastating genetic illnesses like cancer. Research is showing that cancer may be much better addressed with individual treatment based on a person’s own genetic makeup. This is a promising and emerging field of medical breakthroughs, and having access to the super computing resources required is the key.

The Hive platform enables lower cost super computing resources as an available on demand service, which may help saves millions of lives and save billions in economic damages caused by such illnesses.

Here’s how:

Available processors within idle devices like Smart Meters can be assets able to participate in activities for research and development across industries, and emerging new applications such as genomic sequencing for individualized medical therapy. There are thousands of applications that leverage expensive super computing, and Hive will lower the barrier to access.

With the advent of the Internet of Things, or IoT there are millions of devices with ARM type processors that can form into an on demand super computing resource. The Internet of Things is expected to grow well beyond 25 Billion devices by the year 2020.

An initial area of IoT growth and adoption is Smart Meters. Typically Smart Meters after calculating energy consumption, sit idle more than 99% of the time, and provide a massive untapped resource. Hive will enable these meters to be grouped into a virtual super computer machine representing thousands to millions of available processors. They’re always powered on, distributed, secure, enclosed, connected and ubiquitous in presence.

The new super computer is the cloud, and the next super computer is the IoT. Dynamic disruption is in process now.

Web service providers such as Amazon, Azure, Facebook, and Google, can coordinate available resources inside their data centers, now outside of their data centers with other entities like electric utilities for additional processor access for super computing projects by the number of processing core or CPU’s.

Electric utilities with these mostly idle Smart Meters can reduce the lifecycle, and the cost of their Smart Grid implementation..

Additionally, NVIDIA™ GPU based systems, and Intel/Windows or Intel/Linux systems can be additional participants. By virtually bringing these diverse systems and environments all together along with IoT devices we’ll see unprecedented scale and cost reduction of super computing system access.

The Hive Head-End Coordinator/Scheduler along with Hive device agents will also perform billing functions, and interface with existing provider billing systems for revenue sharing and recognition as needed.

This platform approach is indeed novel, and is supported by intellectual property (“IP”), and will enable "computational cloud hyper-scaling" with extremely massive parallel processing available for work and

revenue production for asset owners that has simply not existed before. Interesting market pricing options for cores and time usage for HPC include Penguin Computing, https://pod.penguincomputing.com/pricing, and Google’s Cloud Compute offering: https://cloud.google.com/products/calculator/. Hive Computing’s key advantage will be in bringing enabled devices with the ability to leverage existing infrastructure with combined idle CPU’s in the IoT and Smart Grid space. Per an IDC Worldwide Internet of Things (IoT) 2013–2020

Forecast: Billions of Things, Trillions of Dollars (IDC #243661, October 2013) will present a tremendous resource opportunity for Hive’s Agents. Typical IoT devices like Smart Meters have an ARM™ CPU core that’s well suited for parallel processing tasks to form a super computer. These devices do not reside in an operationally expensive data center; yet will be ubiquitously all around. This is a key advantage. Leveraging idle processing that will be all around will provide significant scaling advantage vs. data centers and VM PC based servers in cost and ushers in the new wave of Fog Computing.
