Open Mobile Hub
===============

We are building a distributed supercomputer made of smartphones, tablets and virtual machines, turning mobile devices into decentralized data analytics platforms for predictive sciences and real-world apps deployement.  

Open Mobile Hub aims to become a network of mobile supercomputing hubs where individuals, experts and big data meet to have fun and solve real-world problems. 

The current Android-based prototype (version 0.0.1) for the Open Mobile Hub platform is a virtual machine (VM) image of the Ubuntu operating system running Mininet. It allows Android devices to connect to the VM root node that interfaces with the virtual network and its POX controller. The root node also has a port 8080 that connects to a web interface to monitor the connected devices.

Our initial benchmark (sum calculation) is deployed in parallel over the distributed Android devices. We call Open Mobile Hub a "mobile supercomputer" as it runs and accelerates the execution of apps within the mobile network.

In the long term, we also want Open Mobile Hub to include traditional supercomputing resources as additional peer resources.

As well, through the Open Mobile Hub interface, mobile devices aim to become bridges between the sensor/wearable world and the (academic) cloud in order to limit data movement. 

Our final goal is to build a network of computing hubs in a flexible, heterogeneous, power-aware, and failure-aware (i.e. responsive) environment.
