1. GCC2005 and the Harmony and Prosperity of Civilizations
Part of GCC2005 Introduction
Beijing China December
Geoffrey Fox Professor of Computer Science, Informatics, Physics
Pervasive Technology Laboratories
Indiana University Bloomington IN 47401

2. Some Statistics The GCC2005 published papers are Grids 55% P2P 18%
Semantics/Information Management 11%
Performance %
Software Egy/Coop Computing %
including
e-Science 0% (roughly as some Grids could be called e-Science))
Parallel Computing < 1%
Cooperative Computing including CSCW (Computer Supported Cooperative Work) 1-2 %

3. Parallel Computing
From CI6016, ~10 petaflop performance computers by 2010 from USA, China, Japan and Europe
Clusters dominate Top 500
Multicore chips will re-invigorate field over next decade as implies parallelism inevitable for all applications
Could have a workshop or session on this at next GCC2005
Still dreaming of a better software model
NVIDIA graphics company considers parallel software for multicore critical problem
DoE holds Zettaflops (1000,000Xpetaflops) meeting

4. Harmonizing and e-digitalconsumer
e-Infrastructure supports linkages between computers, data systems and people with Grids and peer-to-peer networks covered in GCC2005
We have billions of conventional local or global connections
Phones, web page accesses, plane trips, hallway conversations
e-digitalconsumer (talks at CI6016) analogous to data driven science just as e-Classical Enterprise like Compute Grids
Compare Apple and Sun (or even Dell) stock performance for e-Consumer (ipod) v. e-Enterprise (server) momentum
Harmonizing civilizations across the globe
Conventional Internet technology manages billions of broadcast or low (2-way) links
Grids superimpose managed multiple M-way overlaid organizations with optimized resources and system support
P2P lets this be done by the people ……….
2008 Olympics will offer a lot of opportunity for harmonizing, cooperation and collaboration between e-Sports fans
GCC2006 onwards could have a focus session on this type of Collaboration or Computer Supported Cooperative Work

5. Current Internet Interactions
Television and the Web allows individuals to communicate instantly with each other via Web Pages and Headline News acting as proxies – International Harmonizing of civilizations
N resources deposit information and N can view -- Broadcast

6. M2 Interactions
Superimpose M way “Grids” on the sea (heatbath) of client server or broadcast ordinary interactions \
