Introduction

• Idea The Grid is to computing what

Internet is to information Importance of summed resources is

greater than sum of resources Metcalfe’s law adapted

• What are the current projects? Computing resources types? Location? Size?

DAS• System

Clusters Inter-networks DM, DSM single machine

• Homogenous Each cluster

- Similar nodes; numbers vary

- Same LAN technology Each node

- Same processor(s)- Same operating system

• Wide-area distributed Amsterdam, Leiden,

Conclusions• The Grid is to computing what

Internet is to information many global projects (too) many continental projects Grid has been born

• Trends? Clusters in Europe Supercomputers, clusters in US Clusters in rest of North America Supercomputers in Japan Clusters in rest of Asia

• What to do? homogenous/heterogenous resources supercomputers/clusters
