Foil 4 More Federated Applications

From Applications and Programming Models for Computational Grids PPoPP Panel on Computational Grids -- May 5 99. by Geoffrey C. Fox


1 Dynamic linking of data, hardware and software needed to solve a particular problem:
2 "Application Integration" -- linking the "ᡛ" separate major (SAP, PeopleSoft ..) applications (in typical large corporation) into a "grid"
  • linking marketing, sales, production units with multiple databases and some computing
3 This is similar to classic multidisciplinary application in engineering design and manufacturing as in NASA Power Grid
4 General ambitious DoD project is SBA -- Simulation Based Acquisition
5 Crisis Management: Individual simulation engines (classic closely coupled parallel computers) as one (or few) components in a very large commodity grid which links databases, decision makers, anchor desks(experts), first responders (firefighters in the field)
