[Kirk Pearson's Distributed Computing Blog] How to get excited about a 7-year-long distributed computing project: As to why Golomb rulers matter, I don’t think anyone has found a practical application for large Golomb rulers yet, so there is no good answer right now for why finding optimal rulers matters. But someone could find an application for them some day, or research in techniques for finding optimal Golomb rulers could benefit some other kind of research that has more practical applications.
