Improving Node Visibility and GRID Scalability in a Globus Environment

The Globus Toolkit provides a set of mechanisms that allow interconnecting several networked computing resources. Nevertheless, due to its features for dealing with common network traffic, it is simple not possible to take a full advantage of the toolkit services for interconnecting computer resources that are part of several independent...

Globus chooses BSD-style license with eyes wide open

The Globus Consortium, which is working on standards for open source grid computing, is releasing its toolkit under the BSD-style Apache 2.0 license (APL2). In an online journal released today, co-founder Ian Foster (right, from ZDNet's Between the Lines) described the group's reasoning. BSD is "enterprise friendly," he wrote,...

Fine-Grained Security Management in a Service-Oriented Grid Architecture

One major reason for the lack of acceptance of Computational Grids in the industry is security concerns. Conventional Grid security architectures, such as GSI Globus Toolkit, focus on the service provider's perspective and do not cover all concerns of the service user. For instance the management of user credentials is...

A grid by any other name (eg: utility) is just a grid

I'm at GlobusWorld in Boston, where a relatively small herd of grid lovers has gathered to get an update on the state-of-the-state of the fundamentally disruptive technology disruptive to most existing compute paradigms. I took meetings with the Enterprise Grid Alliance, MCNC (its grid-enabled North Carolina-wide backbone network is one...
