I'm Max Munny. I'm looking for novel business opportunities
based on this new technology. I'm betting that it's going to be much bigger
than the overhyped dotcom revolution a few years ago, because the underlying
technology is much more powerful.
My favourite links are:
the reality (an overview
of grid computing today)
the evolution (challenges facing grid computing)
from
scientific to commercial grids (something for my company)
who will pay for grid computing?
virtual organizations (a
new way of working?)
I'm in charge of the links on
GridCafé.
I'm RoboGeek the waiter! I think grids are the greatest thing
since the transistor, and love to talk about
terabytes and petaflops. Would you like a latte? And how many molecules
of sugar would you like with that?
My favourite links are:
the Internet and
the Web (have you ever wandered about the difference?)
building blocks
(hardware, middleware, architecture,...)
what grids can do
(the kind of applications we can run)
Grid @ CERN (finally
my terabytes!)
I collect demos and games for
GridCafé.
My name is Sophia Fillo, and I am interested in the impact
of technology on science and society. Could grids represent a paradigm
shift in computing, and will they lead to qualitatively new ways of doing
science…or even affect our daily lives?
My favourite links are:
the dream (an ideal view of what grid computing might become)
grids and you (how
grids will impact our everyday life)
the "power
grid" analogy (to finally understand why they call it "grid" technology)
the five big ideas
behind grids (keys to the success of grid technology)
grid projects worldwide
(who is doing what in the grid world)
I gather interviews with experts
for the GridCafé.
I'm Sorsu Oppennen a benign hacker, fascinated by the possibilities
that the Grid may open up for collaborative software creation, yet skeptical
about the intentions of people like Max, who seem to want to control the
Grid for commercial purposes….
My favourite links are:
breaking Moore's law
(misused concepts in the grid community)
open standards
who will use grid computing?
skeptical views
who will pay for grid computing?
Grid projects worldwide
(who is doing what in the grid world).
