I propose a new term

[MaxIBoy]

If "cloud computing" is where everything is done server-side, I think the more traditional, client-side application running ought to be called "clear sky computing."


In other words, "clear sky computing" is the exact opposite of "cloud computing." Get it? Because it's cloudless!

[Sealbhach]

"Pavement computing" ???

Nah, people already know what it is called now, no need to confuse them by inventing a new term.

Clear sky computing doesn't make sense as "cloud" refers to a mass of computers working together. Clear sky suggests no computers at all...

[uberdonkey5]

ground computing?

a basic term which suggests just one thing

[MaxIBoy]

Some people seem confused as to what I mean. I mean that clear sky computing is the exact opposite of cloud computing.

both looks the same to me

Is'nt Dell claiming "Cloud Computing" as a trademark?:confused:

[MaxIBoy]

That got rejected.

How about "droplet computing" to denote a single droplet as single node of compute. The problem with this is that it exhibits characteristics of a Sorites paradox - a droplet is one computer and NOT a cloud - two droplets are still not a cloud - 10^100 droplets are probably a cloud - so at what point to a bunch of droplets become a cloud?

..... hmmmmmmmm ......

Lets just go with "single node compute".

I prefer to simply call it "common sense computing".

Just one man's opinion.

'Cloud computing' doesn't mean the same thing as server side computing. It refers to the scenario when any number of distributed heterogeneous systems share the workload.

Brick computing.

All done in a solid physical space, not diffuse like that fancy cloud idea.

I don't know if you're getting the pun. It's "cloudless" computing. If there's no "clouds," the sky is clear.

I don't get that.

I think I understand but I would rather have it called "poopybut computing".

[crwmike]

How about SkyNet?:D

kids of the future would find it easier to remember in computer science class
