Consists of two partsConsists of two partsA management part provides a general overview and advice
You can decide whether it makes sense in your situation to start a Desk top Grid
A detailed part gives “how to” information
What do you need to do. Where to get more guidanceBased on years of experience condensed in several DEGISCO technical deliverablesIDGF experience input

University of WestminsterUniversity of Westminster
The university is set over four main campuses and some additional smaller locations in Central- and North-West-LondonOver 1800 of these machines are connected Grid can be usedby the university’s researchers to run their compute intensive tasks

Green Desktop GridsGreen Desktop GridsAre Desktop Grids green?
In Hannover: yes (maybe not today)In Dubai they probably are never
Airco takes a lot of energyWithin IDGF (DEGISCO) we are systematically investigating the energy costs of Desktop Grids You can join the survey and discussion forum Results useful for any Desktop Grid

DEGISCO shortlist – DEGISCO shortlist – Seven Green Desktop-Grid MethodologiesSeven Green Desktop-Grid Methodologies
1. Ambient metrics based Green optimization2. Cool strategy: avoid air-condition use3. Energy profiling of applications4. CPU speed steps5. Exploitation of natural ambient conditions6. Time-of-day dependent energy tariffs7. Management of unused resources in a local Desktop Grid
