 [Linuxjournal.com] Add new comment | Linux Journal: Grid computing addresses only a small part of the IT infrastructure.Grid computing is exactly what it implies--a mesh of distributed resources whose members share each other'sresources through a specifically enforced set of protocols. The heterogeneity that OGSA attempts to addressis in itself recognition that IT infrastructures will consist of a mix of computing architectures.The roleLinux will play in such heterogeneous environments will depend largely on its performance, reliability andeconomics when running on such hosts.

[Builderau.com.au] Server powers launch new grid group: Builder AU: Program: At Work: The term grid means different things to different people--even to fellow consortium members such as IBM and Sun. Oracle, for example, has named its newest database product 10g--and "g" stands for grid, though the database can span only a handful of very tightly connected servers.

[Cra.org] Computing Research Policy Blog: Policy Archives: Brad Sherman (D-CA), that would have required a study of the moral and legal implications of computing research that might lead to machine cognition "equal or greater than human cognition." Citing alternate possible futures for the research, Sherman evoked both Data from Star Trek: The Next Generation and HAL-9000 from 2001: A Space Odyssey while raising concerns about the implications of supercomputing efforts leading to machines smarter than humans in "as few as 25 years." Committee Chairman Sherwood Boehlert (R-NY) opposed the amendment, objecting primarily to the broad language of the amendment. "While I appreciate the gentleman's intent," Boehlert said, "the amendment is so broadly written it would bring computer science research to a halt." Would a computer that could beat a man at chess qualify, Boehlert wondered?

[:: www.irunix.com ::] Server powers launch new grid group: In the latest effort to put corporate teeth into the amorphous idea of grid computing, IBM, Hewlett-Packard, IBM and Intel are banding together into a new group called the Globus Consortium. The consortium will try to steer an open-source software package called the Globus Toolkit, which helps universities, companies and other customers run
