A community portal about Grid computing with blogs, videos, and photos. According to Wikipedia.org: Grid computing is an emerging computing model that provides the ability to perform higher throughput computing by taking advantage of many networked computers to model a virtual computer architecture that is able to distribute process execution across a parallel infrastructure. Grids use the resources of many separate computers connected by a network to solve large-scale computation problems. Grids provide the ability to perform computations on large data sets, by breaking them down into many smaller ones, or provide the ability to perform many more computations at once than would be possible on a single computer, by modeling a parallel division of labor between processes. Today resource allocation in a grid is done in accordance with SLAs.
With IT - just like other corporate departments - under the gun from senior management to centralize and reap economies of scale, distributed systems seem the dream answer to cost-cutting directives from above. To be sum it all up, distributed systems offer an attractive solution - centralized control along with dispersed physical assets and overhead. In a recent article I read, the author put it just right: "The relentlessly increasing cost...
London, December 5 (ANI): Scientists are running simulations of transistors smaller than 30 nanometres on the UK e-science grid that links thousands of computers, which would help design components for the next generation of silicon chips.
According to BBC News, the results will help designers cope with the physical constraints that occur when working at [...]
The XtreemOS project has released the second public release of its Linux-based Grid operating system under the motto "Making Grid Computing Easier". The consortium has conceived and integrated a platform of open source technologies to enable easier usage, management, scalabilty and programming on top of Grid computing resources.

The NY Times reported today on how the concept of shared; low cost supercomputers are being paired with high performance computers from companies with strong Wisconsin Roots including as Cray and Silicon Graphics. The story revealed how users and developers of supercomputer users are using cloud and grid computing as a resource to share data and computing power for advanced scientific research. Previously these resources were scare and costly...
TORONTO, Nov. 16 /PRNewswire/ -- Platform Computing, the leader in cluster, grid and cloud management software, today announced the introduction of the Platform Application Center, a new product that enables HPC end users to easily submit and manage various HPC applications through a web-based portal interface. In addition, Platform is announcing two upgrades to its HPC products: Platform LSF 7 Update 6 and Platform HPC Workgroup Manager 1.1.
