SuperComputing 2003 “The Great Academia / Industry Grid Debate” ?

1. SuperComputing 2003“The Great Academia / Industry Grid Debate” ? Jay Unger Distinguished Engineer IBM Grid Computing

2. Questions ? • What will make Grids a Reality (with a big "G") ?If it requires "deploying core services with tolerable reliability in enough places", what does the this mean really mean and how do we get there? • What grid products would users really like to see from vendors that would make their grid efforts easier? (What commercial-off-the-shelf grid products could you piggy-back on?) • What does industry really need to see standardized (specifics beyond just simply OGSA) in order to build grid products that can brought to market? • What has to happen to make grid systems easier to install and use (e.g., "Grids for Dummies")? • What is the real scalability and performance of grid information systems? Is it good enough and scalable enough? • How will licensing issues affect how commercial vendors can deploy grid products ?

3. Motivations for Grid Computing Academic & Scientific Are we motivated to develop grids for the same reasons ? Business & Industry

4. Improve Efficiency Reduce Costs Provide Reliability & Availability IncreaseCapacity SupportHeterogeneous Systems Reduce Time to Results Enable Collaboration Motivations for Grid Computing

5. Grid Technical Imperatives: Security and Trust Management Heterogeneous Workload Management Governance & Policy Standards Open Standards & Interoperability Transactional Workloads Reliability Autonomic Functionality End-to-End Systems Management Accounting & Service Level Agreements Scalable Implementations

9. Grid Architecture / Technology Issues What keeps me awake at night ? • Performance / Scalability • Performance of “base” technologies like web services, XML, X.509, HTTPS etc. • Granularity of architected components • Interoperability • Platform, language, and protocol neutrality • Paying for grids • Metering, billing, accounting, settlement • New licensing models for software • Standards progress • Many players = many agendas: industrial, academic, government, standards organizations
