Networks : A visual tour of OGSA : Grid Computing

Posted by idean on 2003/8/22 15:50:23 (19 reads)

The goal: diverse resources that interoperate. To get there, grids must be built on standard interfaces and protocols, and the Open Grid Services Architecture maps the path. In this article, we lay out the components of OGSA and explain their significance. The Globus Toolkit 3 is the first major implementation of the standard; others are under development.

However, I am getting a little suspicous here, because you seem to post whatever IBM publishes, wether it be related to GNU/Linux or not Are you an IBM employee ? :_D Just a guess !!!

I always submit what is new from our Linux zone. I let the editor of the website decide if the LinuxIran community would find it interesting. I am glad you like my submissions so far. I will continue to keep posting new articles to the site if people find them interesting.

Me and other admins here, have thorouly (sp?) enjoyed your articles till now, and are looking forward to more of them. I'm sure the community feels the same too. It is an honour for us to have an IBM employee as one of our contributers. We are really thankful to IBM, for providing such detailed and interesting technical articles. However, as you might have noticed, we will bring our site down for 24 hours on 27th of August, to show our protest regarding software patents in Europe. IBM is one of the major sponsors of software patents in europe, and is heavily lobbying to pass this unethical law in europe. If you have the ability, please reflect our voice and the general concern of the whole free software community to the upper management and decision makers. I know, nothing will happen as a result of our protests, and big blue will continue with it's tradition of supporting software patents. But still, we would like to at least let our voice be heard. Cheers

We offered to support these discussions and to help setup an experimental project in this regard. Unfortunately there was no feedback from the student community in this regard. We still hope that we can do a little experimental project around grid computing.

University of Kentucky, using 128 Athlon XP processors in a bewulf cluster, achieved 471 GFLOPS. The total cost of this project was around $39,000. This is the first time that the $100/GFLOPS barrier has been broken. Take a look at http://aggregate.org/KASY0/press.html It's really cool.
