Grid & Related Paradigms Distributed Computing Loosely coupled Heterogeneous Distributed Computing Loosely coupled Heterogeneous Cluster Tightly coupled Homogeneous Cluster Tightly coupled Homogeneous Grid Computing Enabled by distributed computing Heterogeneous and cross-organizational Grid Computing Enabled by distributed computing Heterogeneous and cross-organizational Utility Computing Enabled by grid and distributed computing technology Public or private computing “services” Utility Computing Enabled by grid and distributed computing technology Public or private computing “services”

How Are Grids Used? High-performance computing Collaborative data-sharing Collaborative design Drug discovery Financial modeling Data center automation High-energy physics Life sciences E-Business E-Science

Grids with the associated technologies (virtualization, automation, service orientation) are about transforming how science, business and IT is done

Example – Transforming Health Care Treatment protocols and prescriptions Weather Environment Patient profile & history Taiwan Asthma Grid Improved patient care Lower public health care costs More effective drugs and treatment protocols

The “heart” and “soul” of a grid solution Applications Resources Middleware Grid Solution Stack Applications Standards Internet & Industry Standards Standards Grid & Web Services Standards APIs Network Compute Storage “Soul” Standards that enable software interoperability “Heart” Software that enables dynamic sharing and management of distributed resources

Key Requirements for Grid Middleware Resource discovery, monitoring & control Data access, transfer and management Execute and manage jobs/services Secure authorization, role and access privileges Informatio n about applications & resources Virtualized resources Grid middleware services Brokering Service Registry Service Data Service CPU Resource Printer Service Job- Submit Service Compute Service Notify Advertise Application Service

Standardization Requires collaboration across the broader distributed computing industry Applications Services Resources DISTRIBUTED COMPUTING GRID COMPUTING UTILITY COMPUTING SNIA DMTF OASIS IETF W3C GGF Requirements An open, service- oriented architecture (SOA) Built on a Web services infrastructure Resource virtualization at the core

Adoption will progress in stages Scientific/ Technical Grids Commercial/ Enterprise Grids Early Deployments Momentum Building (Proven Solutions) Broad Adoption We are somewhere around here Pervasive Adoption “breaking through non- standard barriers”
