Gridget > 66 - The Grid (Part One)

http://www.pulsethebook.com [Pulse] In the United States the new, $53 million TeraGrid links four supercomputing clusters into a transcontinental PDP that can process twenty trillion mathematical operations per second. A project called Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe will build the largest international grid so far, linking seventy institutions into a twenty-four-hour grid service with power that equals twenty thousand large computers combined.

http://www.pulsethebook.com [Pulse] 67 - The Grid (Part Two): The drugmaker Novartis recently created an in-house supercomputer by linking twenty-seven hundred of its desktop computers into a private grid for use in drug design. It worked so well that the entire corporate network””seventy thousand personal computers””is now being hooked in.

[Data Center Knowledge: Data centers, colocation and disaster recovery] Five Predictions: Virtualization and Grids: Twenty seven percent of AFCOM members surveyed in January 2006 say they are already using grid computing or other types of virtualization, with another 39 percent saying they expect to implement these strategies in the next five years. Grid computing allows better optimization of an IT infrastructure, improved redundancy, and offers the ability to more easily share resources among mobile users.

Ideas?

http://weblog.infoworld.com [Weblog.infoworld.com] Grid Meter: In the recent past, the Globus Toolkit has branched out from just e-Science, and is now also used in commercial settings -- like in financial, where many large institutions use it as the standard Grid middleware for doing Monte Carlo simulations and the like. Recently, a set of enterprise vendors (IBM, HP, Intel, Sun, Nortel Networks, Univa) kicked off the Globus Consortium, to continue to support the evolution of the Globus Toolkit open source in enterprise settings (I'm the President of the Globus Consortium).
