To increase the power of my HyperBall , I invented a radical tessellation based on a bees' honeycomb. By 1982, I became affiliated with three institutions - the United States National Weather Service, University of Maryland and George Washington University. I took an internship at the National Weather Service so that I could interact and exchange ideas with their scientists and use their Cyber 205 supercomputer. Since weather forecasters are trained as meteorologists, my suggestion that we simultaneously programme thousands of computers to forecast the weather was dismissed as unconventional, eccentric and HyperBall international network, I changed my research speciality from weather forecasting to hydrological forecasting and completed a mathematics thesis on this topic for the University of Maryland. In 1985, I decided to change locations and use a vector supercomputer, instead of my HyperBall , to solve the mathematical equations of weather forecasting.
Necessity is the mother of invention, it is said.
Denied access to vector supercomputing, I needed to invent a new way of supercomputer. The only choice was to use the Internet to harness the power of thousands of inexpensive PC processors to perform supercomputer-level computations. Again, I was forced to revive and continue my HyperBall research. The HyperBall international network that I envisioned in 1975 was originally designed an optimal configuration of the Internet but later modified to be a subset of this network of networks. The actual implementation of my HyperBall international network was not as easy as I thought.
