The program is expected to be based in part on a current push to get Sun's European solution providers to work with grid computing, said Peter Jeffcock, group marketing manager for Sun's Grid ...

A grid also can be used to set multiple computers to work on a single problem. In such cases, grids must support IPC (interprocess communication) between programs running on different systems.

Oracle's Iwanowski took some issue with the notion that grid computing is overhyped, pointing out that, "if you go into our data centers, we have an acre-and-a-half of a on-demand [computing ...

The idea is that grid computing will allow consumers to easily connect to the network and utilise resources like 24/7 accessible mass storage systems (MSS) and powerful processing power.

Traditional computing relies on large operating margins to ensure a secure and resilient grid operation. Today, these extensive operating margins cause an estimated US$5-US$15B in additional energy ...

Grid computing's biggest stumbling block to adoption is education, said researcher Quocirca. The problem is not many understand the true value of this technology.

Implementation To implement the Grid-Allegro, two programs written in Perl were developed. Gridallegrosteep1.pl runs locally in the master node and its task is to prepare the input files that will ...

Sun Microsystems is updating its Grid Engine software, which lets customers run calculations using otherwise untapped processing power, to make the program work better on larger networks of computers.

Grid computing (also called "distributed computing") harnesses the dormant processing power in idle desktop PCs and servers. Computers running software from companies like San Diego-based Entropia ...

For enterprise software engineers that want to cut their teeth on Grid computing development, a new release by Charles River Media, Inc. “Grid Computing for Developers” might be worth taking a ...

Office politics and other social issues are a bigger problem than technology when it comes to the adoption of the "grid" philosophy of pooling computing resources, a study says.
