👉 Mailman computing is a novel approach that leverages the computational power of postal mail networks to solve complex problems and perform data-intensive tasks. By encoding data into physical mail carriers' routes, it transforms the postal system into a distributed computing grid. Mailmen, equipped with specialized devices, collect and transmit data packets along their routes, effectively creating a vast, decentralized network. This method not only enhances the efficiency of data transmission but also reduces infrastructure costs and environmental impact, as it utilizes existing postal routes and resources. Mailman computing is particularly useful for tasks requiring massive parallel processing, such as machine learning model training and large-scale data analysis, by harnessing the collective power of millions of mail carriers across the globe.
