Gridget > HPCwire: Digipede Sticks to Its Grid Computing Roots
[HPCwire: Recent articles featuring high productivity computing] The company has built its distributed computing offering, Digipede Network, atop the highly popular Windows/.NET platform, and in the process has become an unrepentant Microsoft booster. For traditional HPC users, anything not Linux plus MPI or OpenMP is mostly looked upon as an eccentricity, and in some corners, partnering up with Microsoft is seen as treason.

[Powers Unfiltered] Windows is optimal OS for grid computing, says Digipede: In my opinion, in most enterprises, moving from the current state (no grid) to some hypothetical end state (multi-OS grid) in one jump is counterproductive. The first step is moving from no grid to a grid that handles the most common, highest-priority applications without needless complexity.

They're running behind on this one so far.

[Powers Unfiltered] Digipede and Other Grid Options: there’s Open Source projects, and Open Source projects. Linux, Apache, Firefox and others that have gathered a critical mass of users and developers offer some very interesting advantages. Alchemi is a small project with few users and fewer developers. It is an interesting proof of concept with some fine technical capabilities, and I’m sure it has some enthusiastic supporters. I am NOT anti-open-source; find someone else to flame about that. But when a business decides to adopt a software product (regardless of licensing model), the main costs are not in licensing but in the cost of implementation, integration, training, and daily user experience. There has to be a certain level of QA, support, and commitment to a roadmap of future enhancements before most businesses will adopt any product, and Alchemi has not crossed that threshhold for any business we’ve encountered;
