Gridget > Nodalpoint on grid computing for bioinformatics

[ business|bytes|genes|molecules] At the risk of sounding like a broken record, I maintain that while the grid computing economics that Jim Gray talks about work for certain cases, there are a number of cases where the economics break down. If you are doing routine crunching of genomes on an ongoing basis (annotation, etc) and essentially performing data collection, then grids make a lot of sense, at lease loosely distributed ones.

Nodalpoint.orghttp://www.nodalpoint.org [Nodalpoint.org] BioGrids | nodalpoint.org: Grid Computing already plays an important role in the life sciences, and will probably continue doing so for the forseeable future. BioGrid (Japan), myGrid (UK) and CoreGrid (Europe) are just three current examples, there are many more Grid and Super Duper Computer projects in the life sciences.

But although these technologies all use some sort of virtualization, they don't actually qualify as storage virtualization.

Using 10-Gigabit Ethernet connectivity to SURFnet as part of the DataGrid Project, research teams in Amsterdam can work on solutions that will enable international scientific collaborations to share and access massive databases in fields such as particle physics, astronomy, biology, seismology.
