Grid middleware for effectively utilizing computing resources: CyberGRIP
Akira Asato, Yoshimasa Kadooka · Fujitsu Scientific and Technical Journal · 2004
Various research and development activities regarding Grid computing technology have recently been promoted. This technology integrates heterogeneous computing resources that are geographically dispersed and virtualizes them as a single computer system. However, there have been very few reports in the business world about Grid computing becoming successful or practical because most Grid computing research is carried out in government science projects. Fujitsu has developed CyberGRIP, which is a Grid middleware system for applying Grid computing to practical corporate simulations and verifying the effectiveness of Grid computing. This paper clarifies the needs and problems of these corporate simulations and describes how CyberGRIP is solving the problems. This paper also describes in-house verification using the CAD-Grid system.
