Grid computing continues to be the way forward

The Open Grid Forum (OGF) launched its new on-line thought leadership series to give thought leaders in grid and distributed computing the opportunity to express their ideas, opinions and perspectives. One of the main goals OGF has in initiating this series is to stimulate discussion and provoke lively debate on a broad range of hot topics and issues facing the grid and distributed computing community.

Wolfgang Gentzsch, coordinator of the German D-Grid Initiative; Geoffrey Fox and Marlon Pierce, from the Community Grids Laboratory at Indiana University; and Ian Foster from Argonne National Lab and the University of Chicago, kick-off the series with articles that provide a flavor of the diverse subject matter OGF hopes to address. Gentzsch’s article outlines the “Top 10 Rules for Building a Sustainable Grid” in his highly informative and practical discussion of the real-world lessons he has learned in deploying grids. Of the OGF Thought Leadership Series, Gentzsch states: “It is a great way to evangelize grid computing by presenting visions and their realization, and thus further stimulating contributions in technology and standards from the larger grid community.”

The more we talk about grid both in terms of the technology and the process, the more we can benefit from the technology and work out how we can use it to deliver improved service, performance or functionality to the end user which is the key factor in deploying the technology.
