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 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...

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 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 Grid data management is a challenging task because of the heterogeneous, dynamic and large-scale nature of Grid environments. This paper proposes an autonomic Grid data management architecture based on virtualized distributed file systems and WSRF...

whitepaper Grid-enable a specific target application, in this case nanoscience, to prove the usefulness of Grids in future scientific and industrial application, and perform experimental deployment of 100 TFLOPS-scale Grids based on the middleware and Grid...
[15 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...
