Page 1 [email protected] ARGONNE ✦ CHICAGO ● Grid Computing: Resource Sharing and Coordinated Problem Solving in Scalable Distributed Communities ● Grid computing technologies enable controlled resource sharing in distributed communities and the coordinated use of those shared resources as community members tackle common goals. These technologies include new protocols, services, and APIs for secure resource access, resource management, fault detection, communication, and so forth, that in term enable new application concepts such as virtual data, smart instruments, collaborative design spaces, and metacomputations. In this talk, we review applications that are motivating widespread interest in Grid concepts within the scientific and engineering communities. Then, we describe the Globus Grid architecture that has been …
