I need more Content for publish, I opened a news&contents&articles url list on xel talk forum: https://talk.elasticexplorer.org/t/xel-elastic-project-news-url/120/1

Good job guys , thank you !

Looks so good!!!!

EK, we need more content. just let us know what we should add

Maybe someone could prepare some questions so all devs can start replying them one by one! I guess this would get things started pretty quickly, if people can just start replying one by one without having to make thoughts about a storyline.

What can Elastic do that the other super computers (Golem, etc.) can't?

Kick Ass!! Wink

It's hard to describe.
Technically, other Supercomputers such as Golem have great use cases (or one use case should I say?) that we currently cannot cover at all ... Blender Rendering for example. If they manage to get their infrastructure stable and safe, they will be able to offer at least one use case that we can't - not now at least.

Elastic works different: We do not have one specific use case, instead the use case has to be coded by the users in Elastic's own programming language - Elastic PL. It is similar to C but with limited functionality so it can be guaranteed that Elastic code can be executed on other machines without causing any harm. Ther language has been discussed about for a very long time and many brilliant heads have helped designing it. You can write a program in Elastic PL and others can be sure that if executed, no exploits, no endless loops, no data leakage or anything else may happen.

So while our Elastic Baby is more flexible in designing tasks, is does not perform that good for one partucular use case that other systems are tailored for. It's sort of a trade off between flexibility and performance / doability. But: If you want to do 6 different tasks you need 6 different "Coins" if you pursue the other coin's approaches. Elastic can do them all ;-) Please keep in mind, that due to the nature "mining" work, some use cases are not yet possible - only tasks which explore a search space can be done now, and not "stupid" tasks which are divided into multiple packages (like rendering divides a large image into many smaller tiles).

But I am sure that Elastic PL will get better over time: Since we have a "flexible" system built and designed this way from ground up to allow "user configurable tasks" - we are as far as I now the only ones that offer this - we are basically limitless concerning our imagination.

Please correct me if I'm wrong. Please ask if something is unclear. And please write that more beautifully - I suck at writing.
