XtreemOS: a Linux-based operating system to support next-generation grids
,----[ Quote ]
| At November’s SC07 conference XtreemOS was represented in the INRIA’s booth
| and also organized a well-attended Birds of a Feather session on grid
| operating systems.
|
| While grids allow organizations to significantly increase their computational
| power, they can also threaten to be a significant headache. That’s where it
| can help to have an operating system designed to keep things simple.

| “XtreemOS will provide native support for virtual organizations,” says
| Morin. “It is based on Linux and will have three different versions capable
| of running on single PCs, clusters and mobile devices. It will provide for
| grids what other operating systems offer for single computers: abstraction
| from the hardware and secure resource sharing between different users.”

Didn't Microsoft take over INRIA after the president told out to the abusive
foreign monopoly?

Living off the grid OS

| Visualize virtualization that goes beyond the usual hardware associated with
| the term -- servers and storage, for example -- to encompass the whole set of
| resources in a computing environment, including firewalls, databases, memory,
| and CPUs, for example.
|
| The benefits of a grid OS are considerable, allowing you to allocate more
| computing power to an application in a heartbeat and with seamless effort,
| for example.
