Let the processors of the discarded phones regroup and build a powerful "super server"

Is your mobile phone a Ti Yu or a month's throw? It's a bit far, but in the smartphone age, consumers are changing their phones almost every year, and most old ones are being sold or scrapped.

Circulardevices, from Finland, is implementing a modular project called Puzzlephone, which allows the processors of discarded handsets to be rebuilt into a powerful "super server".

Puzzlecluster servers can be used in a variety of industries and uses, such as in the company for research and data analysis, or as a company's internal cloud computing services, or other situations that require parallel computing.

In the design sketch, each processor unit of the server can accommodate multiple phone processors, and multiple units can be consolidated into a powerful supercomputer.

For Puzzlephone, Google is a template. Project Ara recently announced that it would first launch a modular cell phone in Puerto Rico in 2015. At present, the mobile phone is divided into 11 modules, such as camera, power, WiFi and Bluetooth communications, users can plug and replace the module and upgrade.

However, Puzzlecluster is still only in the conceptual design phase, it will take a long time to become the actual technology available. But Google has a good head start.
