Linux Nightlife Wants You to Come Out and Play
,----[ Quote ]
| Linux not only wants to dominate the Data Center and your Desktop but now it
| wants your unused CPU power as well. Nightlife is a grid-based computing
| effort that is Fedora Linux-specific.

Opinion - The role of open source in grid computing: past, present and future
,----[ Quote ]
| To a significant extent, the benefits that we predicted for open source
| release have indeed accrued: Globus software has been widely adopted, and
| many groups are doing amazing things with it, building exciting applications,
| powerful tools, and substantial infrastructures. (I can go on at tremendous
| length on this topic, but I will restrain myself.)

Open source grid computing takes off
,----[ Quote ]
| The Hadoop project is opening up a really interesting discussion around
| computing scale. A few years ago I never would have imagined that the open
| source world would be contributing software solutions like this to the
| market. I don’t know why I had that perception, really. Perhaps all the
| positioning by enterprise software companies to discredit open source
| software started to sink in.

Living off the grid OS
,----[ Quote ]
| 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.
