Linux Wizard - Thoughts about Linux marketing #2 : Mandriva and Grid-computing
,----[ Quote ]
| Partners like EADS, EDF, Nec, SAP, Red Flag and Mandriva are working together
| to build an ubiquitous grid computing system based on Linux. ISO can be
| download on the Mandriva mirrors, and RPMS for the Xtreem OS are available.
| Xtreem OS is based on Mandriva 2008.0, but it seems that a new version may be
| based on the Mandriva 2009.0

| The world’s largest computing grid is ready to tackle mankind’s biggest data
| challenge from the earth’s most powerful accelerator. Today, three weeks
| after the first particle beams were injected into the Large Hadron Collider
| (LHC), the Worldwide LHC Computing Grid combines the power of more than 140
| computer centers from 33 countries to analyze and manage more than 15 million
| gigabytes of LHC data every year.

,----[ Quote ]
| Grid.org, the online community for open-source cluster and grid software,
| announced today that their open source cluster software stack, UniCluster,
| has exceeded 5,000 downloads by the HPC community.
| Grid.org, launched in November 2007, was developed to provide a single
| aggregation point for information and interaction by the community of grid
| and cluster users, developers and administrators. Home to Univa UD's
| UniCluster software stack, Grid.org offers an all-inclusive destination for
| users to exchange information, ideas, and participate in development
| projects.

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.

XtreemOS, a Linux-based Operating System to support Virtual Organizations for
next generation Grids
,----[ Quote ]
| Based on Linux, XtreemOS will have 3 different versions capable of running on
| single PCs, clusters and mobile devices and will provide for the Grid what an
| operating system offers for a single computer: abstraction from the hardware
| and secure resource sharing between different users.

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.
