The Grid 2. Blueprint for a New Computing Infrastructure

En savoir plus sur le livre

The Grid represents a transformative infrastructure that will reshape our approach to computing, akin to the electric power grid's impact on society. It aims to enable flexible sharing of computational resources, databases, sensors, and human collaboration, fostering the emergence of new applications. In 1998, Ian Foster and Carl Kesselman introduced this groundbreaking concept, and the latest edition reflects a deeper understanding of Grid computing's potential and the technologies necessary to harness it. The editors explore the significant effects of large-scale resource sharing and virtualization in both science and industry, emphasizing the connections between organizational structures and resource sharing. They also highlight the technologies essential for secure and efficient large-scale resource sharing. Foster and Kesselman have gathered a team of experts to provide an updated perspective on Grids, sharing real-world experiences and detailing both existing and emerging technologies from various sectors. This edition serves as a manifesto, design blueprint, user guide, and research agenda for the future of Grid systems, continuing the legacy of its predecessor.
