RCF is organizing a set of talks on computing technology - FYI is enclosed an abstract for the talk on Wednesday. Subject: Technology Talk > > Dantong Yu (ACF/RCF) will begin a series of talks on the Grid starting > this Wednesday, 18 September 2002. Please post on the appropriate > collaboration mailing lists. > > Regards, > Tom > > -- > ----------------------------------------------------- > Thomas G.

Leading edge collaborative science > experiments such as RHIC, ATLAS and several other LHC > experiments are at the point of generating petabytes (10^15) > of data annually. This corresponds to the storage volume > of several million of today's CD-ROMs. This leads to > important technical challenges in data storage, data > management, access and processing. > > Grid computing has emerged as an important new field, > distinguished from conventional distributed computing by > its focus on large-scale resource sharing, innovative > applications, and, in some cases, high-performance > orientation. In this tutorial, we define this new field. > First, we review the Grid problem, which we define as > flexible, secure, coordinated resource sharing among > dynamic collections of individuals, institutions, and > resources what we refer to as virtual organizations. > Next, we present an extensible and open Grid architecture, > in which protocols, services, application programming > interfaces, and software development kits are categorized > according to their roles in enabling resource sharing. > Finally, we discuss how Grid technologies relate to > other contemporary technologies, including enterprise > integration, application service provider, storage service > provider, and peer-to-peer computing. (The second paragraph > refers to Ian Foster's paper). > > The Anatomy of the Grid: Enabling Scalable Virtual Organizations. I. > Foster, C. Kesselman, S. Tuecke. International J.
