  1. Building a Computational Grid Workshop Argonne National Laboratory September 8-10,1997 “The Coming of the Grid”

  2. Electrical Power Communications Petroleum Transportation Air Highway Railroad Physical Goods Manufacturing Supply Chain Inventory and Warehousing Banking System Other Infrastructures

  3. Inhomogeneous Node Distribution Function Supernodes Ubiquitous Smaller Nodes Caching Essential Variable Speed Pathways Created by Interactions Government Industry Invention General Properties of Grids

  4. Railroad Infrastructure Required Caching Grain Livestock Caching Created Financial Markets Board of Trade Retailing Center Emerges Manufactured Goods Need Middleware Inventory and Redistribution Today Air Transport, Telecom Supernode Cronon, William. Nature's Metropolis: Chicago and the Great West Why Is There Chicago? - Supernode on the Transportation Grid

  5. Infrastructure Leaves its Mark -- a Century Later Railroad

  6. Exponential Cascade:From Leading Edge to Consumer Electronics 1985 Cray X-MP Cost:$8,000,000 60,000 watts of power No Built in Graphics 56 kbps NSFnet Backbone 1997 Nintendo 64 Cost: $149 5 watts of power Interactive 3D Graphics 64 kbps ISDN to Home Source: Silicon Graphics, 1997

  7. NSFNET 56 Kb/s Backbone (1986-8) NCSA

  8. NSFNET 1.5 -> 45 Mb/s Backbone (1988-94) NCSA Backbone 1988-90: T1 to 13 sites 1990-94: T3 to 16 sites

  9. NSF vBNS and PACI - Mutually Interdependent NCSA Alliance NPACI Both NCSA Alliance and NPACI Other High Performance Connection sites Current vBNS “Backbone” sites

  10. EPSCoR and the State Participation Problem

  11. The Alliance is Prototyping the National Technology Grid • Leading Edge Centers • Supernodes of the Grid • Enabling Technology Teams • Architects of the Grid • Applications Technologies Teams • Specifications for the Grid • Education, Outreach, and Training Teams • Content for the Grid • Partners for Advanced Computational Services • Support for the Grid

  12. The National Technology Grid
