Hi all,
As part of my dissertation, I'm looking for "raw data" which will
be used for massive parallel processing using Beuwulf cluster (with
the use of PVM or MPI). I tried looking for e-science raw data (and
the computations required on it) such as bioinformatics, fluid
dynamics, etc. but without any luck.
An interesting computationally intensive task would be constructing a
3-D model of a pot from multiple 2-d images of pot shards, especially
if there are missing or extra pieces.
This would be quite a boon for archaeologists, who currently do it by
hand, as a 3D jigsaw puzzle.
And, of course, it has almost no commercial value.. there are
commercial archaeologists, but they don't get paid to reassemble broken pots.
A similar application might be to take a 3D tomographic image of a
block of tar from the La Brea tarpits and extract all the bone
images, and attempt to match them up.
