HTTP:: Home Computers Join Artificial Life Research
--------
A massive cluster of high-performance computers may have the ability to artificially generate new forms of artificial life, experts believe. Numerous combinations of chemicals are put together in a virtual environment, and their interactions are documented. Silicon Valley scientists propose turning software originally used to search for extraterrestrial life into a comprehensive tool to look for for such possible forms of life, in thousands of computers around the world. The first initiative that took to people's personal computers was the SETI@Home project, which sifted through massive amounts of data in order to assess the possibility of extraterrestrial life existing among the stars. The project was started by the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence, or SETI, program, The New York Times reports. The new initiative is entitled EvoGrid, and its purpose is to search for patterns of self-assembly within computer simulations modeling the evolution of life on the planet.!
This tendency is one that is very important to the development of life. When the Earth's primordial soup was filled with large amounts of amino-acids, it was self-assembly that allowed for them to form proteins, and RNA, later on. “The main challenge, is not the generation of some kind of novel molecular interaction. Rather, it&r...
