Foil 2 What Applications are Grids Good For?

From Applications and Programming Models for Computational Grids PPoPP Panel on Computational Grids -- May 5 99. by Geoffrey C. Fox
1 Essentially all applications will use some sort of computational grid but only some will use high performance
2 "High Performance" can come from several sources
  • Classic "parallel" computing inter-object messages
  • Extreme Quality of Service requirements
  • Large number of (simultaneous or asynchronous) users
  • time-critical/real-time constraints ....
3 Most High Performance grids will come from scaling "ordinary grids" which will use commodity solutions.
  • Building grids is major activity for corporate software systems
