> A problem of scale (and motley software)
>
> Grid site administrators have numerous problems to deal with when  
> configuring and scaling their infrastructure, including a large  
> number of users with different software components, and physical  
> resources that cannot be isolated or partitioned. Together, these  
> make for limited service and reliability, along with inflexibility.
>
> To overcome these challenges, Ignacio M. Llorente and his colleagues  
> of the dsa-research group at the Universidad Complutense de Madrid  
> developed a new, open-source technology which acts as a  
> virtualization layer between the service and the physical  
> infrastructure layers, integrating existing Grid and cluster  
> middleware stacks.
>
> It extends the benefits of  Virtual Machine Monitors (VMMs) from a  
> single physical resource to a cluster of resources, decoupling the  
> server not only from its physical infrastructure but also from its  
> physical location.

> Grid brings teraflops toBrazilian researchers

> Researchers at São Paulo State University in Brazil will soon speed  
> up their calculations to 33.3 teraflops with the new GridUNESP  
> scheduled to come online in October. The $1.9 million grid will be  
> the largest computational infrastructure in Latin America,  
> potentially increasing the number of processors available several-

> Talk to any climate scientist, and they’ll tell you that one of  
> their biggest problems is dealing with the sheer volume of data they  
> acquire. They don’t lack for data; if anything, they have too much  
> to choose from—everything from tree rings to ice cores to  
> collections of air samples from hot-air balloons . . .

> Over ten percent of you responded to our 9-question readership

> revealed some things we expected. And some things we didn’t.
