3. Enabling Grids for E-sciencE INFSO-RI-508833 NSFB Information day, 15.07.2005 3 Historical perspective Local Computing –All computing resources at single site. –People move to resources to work. Remote Computing –Resources accessible from distance. –All significant resources still centralized. Distributed Computing –Resources geographically distributed. –Specialized access; largely data transfers. Grid Computing –Resources and services geographically distributed. –Standard interfaces; transfers of computations and data.

4. Enabling Grids for E-sciencE INFSO-RI-508833 NSFB Information day, 15.07.2005 4 What is the Grid? The Grid - next generation of Internet computing. The Grid was first properly explained by Ian Foster and Carl Kesselman in their book The Grid: Blueprint for a New Computing Infrastructure (1998). Their vision: providing distributed resources for transparent public use, based on standartized interface. Their idea: people could access computational power, content, and other computer services in an easy way, just like using electricity by plugging a device into a wall socket. It was a dream. Where are we now?
