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 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...

whitepaper Large-scale grid computing frameworks can be successfully used to build computational grid infrastructures, but their sophistication can also be a barrier for software designers experimenting with entry-level grid computing.
[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 It is envisaged that the grid infrastructure will be a large-scale distributed software system that will provide high-end computational and storage capabilities to differentiated users. A number of distributed computing technologies are being...

News Providers use virtualisation extensively and grid computing software. Because these providers are optimised for large-scale hosts, they could eventually serve corporate customers, Forrester said. Cloud computing, the notion of outsourcing hardware...
[11 Mar 2008]
whitepaper Grid is a core concept in modern distributed computing architectures and is aligned with other important distributed computing technologies such as virtualization, service-orientation and data center automation.
[29 Feb 2008]
whitepaper In this paper one shows how a large-scale, high performing and scalable Grid based data warehouse can be implemented using commodity hardware (industry standard x86- based), Oracle Database 10G and Linux operating system.
[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. This procedure does not scale well, and is too inflexible to allow for large open grids. Currently, most computational grids (systems...
[14 Feb 2008]
whitepaper In wide-area Grid computing, geographically distributed computational resources are connected for enabling efficient and large-scale scientific/engineering computations. In the wide-area Grid computing, a data transfer protocol called GridFTP has...
[05 Dec 2007]
whitepaper Configurable optical networks and wide-area resource sharing in the form of Grid computing provide intriguing opportunities for new application capabilities and resource efficiencies. The resulting Lambda-Grid is a collection of geographically...
[19 Oct 2007]
whitepaper Properly managed, storage and throughput scale linearly with computing power. Grids today appear mostly in High Performance Computing (HPC) environments, where hundreds of inexpensive compute nodes link together to solve parallel processing...
[11 Sep 2007]
whitepaper An emerging trend in the computing industry is the deployment of data warehouse systems on a "Grid" of industry standard commodity server running the Linux operating system. However, in order for a Linux Grid configuration to be successful it must...
