Introductory Remarks
Compare equivalence between Grid middleware and MPI MPI available in open source and proprietary
implementations In industrial environments, MPI is mainly
deployed on homogeneous systems Platform interoperability is a major new aspect
and challenge for grid middleware View on role of open source and proprietary
implementations strongly influenced by experiences with MPI
Exploitation and Commercial Take-up
Moving grid software from research into business critical industrial environments will be the major driving force for exploitation and commercial take-up
This will happen by integrating grid middleware into commercial software systems for complex problem solving environments
Exploitation and Commercial Take-up
Grid standards are public New standards or extensions should typically first be
implemented in open source Advantages are speed of implementation, availability of software
on multiple relevant computer architectures Recommended for early exploitation of research projects Public funding important
Take-up by commercial middleware providers desired Advantages are tuned and stable versions, guaranteed support,
and most importantly, clear legal conditions Competition with open source implementations is fruitful Commercial providers with a multi platform view preferred to
avoid proprietary implementation for each platform Challenge is interoperability of the different implementations
Distributed official testbed? Which gremium is the test authority?
Action Plan
Suggestions Grid Standard Base (GSB)
Official grid QA tests and certifications including interoperability
Grid Benchmark Suite
