From General NPAC Foils-98A starting January 98 (PowerPoint) General Research -- January 98 -->. by Geoffrey C. Fox


1 Larry Smarr and NCSA Collaboration have stressed analogy of deployment of computer/communication technology with impact that electrical and transportation grids had
  • I.e. they enabled revolutions in society
  • What is relative role of High-end and Commodity-end in Grid?
2 The transportation system was built using lessons from and feed up/down from Sports cars, Cadillacs, Model T's, Ford Escorts etc.
3 Computational Grid will be shaped by and shape all applications and technologies
4 Internetics expresses synergy between high-end and commodity approaches
5 A computational grid is a metacomputer or a "high performance distributed computer system" which must be influenced by and influence the "Object Web" which is here defined as "mass-market"/business IntraNet (low to low) use of Internet/distributed Information Systems
