SaaSMay 24, 2006Grid Computing Books: Grid Computing - The Savvy Manager’s GuideBy: Ovais KhanTitle: Grid Computing - The Savvy Manager's GuideAuthors: Pawel Plaszczak & Rich Wellner, Jr. Publisher: Morgan Kaufmann ISBN: 0127425039 Sample Chapter: N/A Online Companion: http://www.savvygrid.com/ Review: Taken from the online edition of Primeur The book starts with some artificial, business cases, explaining how Grid technologies could be useful in business. Then it continues with Grid basics, including notes on the history: Grid computing is not a completely new invention, but builds on a number of developments in the nineties, such as metacomputing and distribtued computing.

The Competition in Outline The competition is to develop a short description of an application of Grid Computing Technologies to solve a unique problem facing society in the 21st Century. Each submission should provide a short overview of the problem to be solved, an analysis and a description of the potential solution. We believe that the emergence of grid computing provides a new level of capability in high performance distributed computing and thus we would expect the problem addressed to be beyond today’s available solutions, such as cluster computing or other more constrained computing configurations. The competition will be judged by an appointed panel of experts from industry and the fields of science, the environment, engineering, design and arts. Prizes will be awarded for submissions that show the most originality, creativity, clear benefits and a feasible implementation. We expect to be able to offer individuals prizes ranging from computer equipment and software packages as well as an Internship or work placement at Intellect. We will also award membership to the BCS for prize winners. Entrants should be aware that there is a possibility that the competition will attract coverage in the media. The event will be launched early in the spring of 2006 with the aim of accumulating submissions during the summer with a preliminary short list available to be judged in the early autumn. A Competition Final event will be held for the short-listed entrants at which the prizes will be awarded.Read Full Article...

SpadaCHICAGO, Nov. 17 -- After a period of focused testing, inSORS Integrated Communications and Argonne National Laboratory's Mathematics and Computer Science Division have confirmed the interoperability of AG Toolkit 2.0 and inSORS IG2.0. This development is critical to support the increasing demand for collaborative application tools, supporting group-to-group collaboration across the Grid, and incorporating multimedia large-format displays, presentation and interactive environments and interfaces to Grid middleware and to visualization environments. This technical milestone uniquely addresses the Grid community's interest in the open source framework of the AG Toolkit release, combined with priority commercial features such ease of use, application enhancements, and support packages.Read Full Article...Link | 18 November 03 @ 10:56 | Discuss ( 4 comments ) | More from: SaaS | Views ( 2705 Views)October 07, 2003Philanthropic Computing at it's Best - Finding a Cure for Small PoxBy: Ahmar AbbasUnited Devices recently completed a project which utilized the processing capacity of computers of approximately 2 million volunteers from 190 countries to find a cure for small pox. Of 35 million potential drug molecules evaluated, 44 have been identified as very good candidates.A total of 39,000 years of computational capacity was used by this project - while on an average day 176 years worth of CPU processing was utilized. It took roughly 13 hours to generate the results for each of the 35 million molecules evaluated. Read Full Article...
