whitepaper Virtual Compute Corporation uses the Sun Grid Compute Utility to handle work from its energy industry customers that exceeds the capacity of its own IT infrastructure. The Sun Grid gives Virtual Compute Corporation the ability to quickly and...
[06 May 2008]
whitepaper Reflecting on the current frailty of much software, grid and otherwise, this paper proposes that the Ethernet approach to resource sharing is an effective and reliable technique for combining coarse-grained software when failures are common and...
[10 Apr 2008]
whitepaper Grid computing gives users access to widely distributed networks of computing resources to solve large-scale tasks such as scientific computation. This paper explains the implementation of a planning system to generate task workflows for the Grid...
[10 Apr 2008]
whitepaper A national infrastructure of Grid computing environments will provide access for a large pool of users to a large number of distributed computing resources. Providing access for the complete pool of potential users would put an unacceptably large...
[10 Apr 2008]
whitepaper Workload and resource management are essential functionalities in the software infrastructure for grid computing. The management and scheduling of dynamic grid resources in a scalable way requires new technologies to implement a next generation...
[10 Apr 2008]
whitepaper This paper describes the initial work in capturing knowledge and heuristics about how to select application components and computing resources, and using that knowledge to generate automatically executable job workflows for the Grid.
[10 Apr 2008]
whitepaper The concept of grid computing is very similar to the methods used to create many massively parallel supercomputers. The main difference is that supercomputers have much faster connections between processors and between processors and memory than...
[10 Apr 2008]
whitepaper One important challenge facing grid computing is efficient parallel I/O for data-intensive grid applications. Grid applications use high-speed networks to logically assemble collections of resources such as scientific instruments, supercomputers...
[10 Apr 2008]
whitepaper The development of supportive middleware to manage resources and distributed workload across multiple administrative boundaries is of central importance to Grid computing. Active middleware services that perform look-up, match-making, scheduling...
[10 Apr 2008]
whitepaper The emphasis in Grid computing research has predominantly been focused on services. It is not surprising that most of the high-profile, Grid-related work focuses on services and middleware. Researchers, hardware manufacturers, and end-users alike...
[10 Apr 2008]
whitepaper The challenge is to create a scientific networking grid that enables U.K.cosmologists at distant locations to share data and computing resources in their study of the origins of the universe and establish a central computing and visualization...
[10 Apr 2008]
whitepaper While the basic Grid services have been demonstrated, e.g.in the IPG prototype demonstrated at the Supercomputing 1999 conference, and the GUSTO testbed demonstrated in 1998, a general purpose computing, data management, and real-time...
[10 Apr 2008]
whitepaper Recent variations of the VDC model include grid, fabric, and utility computing, each of which has a goal of satisfying Quality-of-Service (QoS) requirements at guaranteed resource costs. The Virtual Data Center (VDC) is an evolutionary computing...
[28 Mar 2008]
whitepaper While most discussions in the industry have been focused on the enhanced performance from grid computing in niche applications, the overlooked real payoff from combining grids with virtualization and service orientation will come in terms of a...
[25 Mar 2008]
News The Red Bull Formula One (F1) team is using grid computing to boost development work for its 2008 racing car by getting the most out of its processing power. Using grid technology, workstations left idle by staff when they leave work can also be...
[07 Mar 2008]
whitepaper This paper describes the architecture of the first implementation of the In-VIGO grid-computing system. A novel aspect of In-VIGO is the extensive use of virtualization technology, emerging standards for grid-computing and other Internet middleware.
[01 Mar 2008]
whitepaper In this way the goals of on-demand computing overlap with and are similar to those of Grid computing: both enable the pooling of global computing resources to solve complex computational problems. This field has seen much research for potential...
[29 Feb 2008]
whitepaper The Grid is an infrastructure that enables the sharing of geographically dispersed computing resources. Many of these applications utilizing the Grid are expected to generate enormous amount of data, and there is an imminent need for enhanced...
[14 Feb 2008]
whitepaper However, to actually assemble a large grid, peers must have an incentive to provide resources to the system. Currently, most computational grids (systems allowing transparent sharing of computing resources across organizational boundaries) are...
[14 Feb 2008]
whitepaper A Grid computer is a hardware and software system that integrates a collection of distributed system components (e.g.computer systems, storage, etc.making them appear to the user as a single, large "virtualized" computing system.
