SONM – Supercomputer Organized by Network Mining
SONM can simply be defined as a universal fog supercomputer. In other words, it is a network based on Ethereum for computing power that is distributed globally. Before you deep dive into SONM, it is important to have a basic understanding about what fog networking or fog computing is. Fog networking is also referred to as fogging and it is based on an architecture where a lot of end user clients or a large number of near user edge devices are being used in order to carry out a considerable percentage of storage capacity. This concept is much different from storing data in the cloud data centers. In fact, fog computing comes along with a variety of benefits when compared to the scenario where data is being loaded in cloud computing, which is based on Internet. People will be able to get precise control, management, measurement and configuration over their data from this method. The data would not be controlled from the network gateways as in what happens to the LTE core network. More
