Making 37.78TB of research data available!
We've designed a distributed system for sharing enormous datasets - for researchers, by researchers. The result is a scalable, secure, and fault-tolerant repository for data, with blazing fast download speeds. http://academictorrents.com/ This service is designed to facilitate storage of all the data used in research, including datasets as well as publications. There are many advantages of using bittorrent technology to disseminate this work. Torrent technology allows a group of editors to "seed" their own peer-reviewed published articles with just a torrent client. Each editor can have part or all of the papers stored on their desktops and have a torrent tracker to coordinate the delivery of papers without a dedicated server. One aim of this site is to create the infrastructure to allow open access journals to operate at low cost. By facilitating file transfers, the journal can focus on its core mission of providing world class research. After peer review the paper can be indexed on this site and disseminated throughout our system. http://academictorrents.com/about.php Credo possa interessare molti ricercatori sulla ML. Ottime scelte tecnologiche, orientate alla semplicità e alla massima distribuzione. Rimane "centralizzato" solo l'aggiornamento dell'indice dei materiali distribuiti, i materiali stessi sono distribuiti via Torrent e l'indice stesso viene ridondato scaricandolo come RSS. Giovanotti svegli, insomma. :-D Giacomo
