Grid Enable Your Java Applications With GridGain

Allowing developers to leverage distributed computing resources has long been a goal of emerging technologies, including most recently RPC, CORBA, and RMI. However, these distributed computing technologies require considerable initial infrastructure setup and maintenance, and they face many hurdles to scalability. Enter grid computing, in which the individual parts of a code base are run remotely and in parallel among the available nodes of a grid (a computer cluster).

Cosmological Simulations Using Grid Middleware

Large problems ranging from numerical simulation can now be solved through the Internet using grid middleware. This paper describes the different steps involved to make available a service in the DIET grid middleware. The cosmological RAMSES application is taken as an example to detail the implementation. Furthermore, several results are given in order to show the benefits of using DIET, among which the transparent usage of numerous clusters and a low overhead (finding the right resource and submitting the computing task).

NSA Is Building a New Datacenter In San Antonio

An anonymous reader writes in with an article from a Texas paper on the NSA's new facility in San Antonio. "America's top spy agency has taken over the former Sony microchip plant and is transforming it into a new data-mining headquarters... where billions of electronic communications will be sifted in the agency's mission to identify terrorist threats. ... [Author James] Bamford writes about how NSA and Microsoft had both been eyeing San Antonio for years because it has the cheapest electricity in Texas, and the state has its own power grid, making it less vulnerable to power outages on the national grid. He notes that it seemed the NSA wanted assurance Microsoft would be here, too, before making a final commitment, due to the advantages of 'having their miners virtually next door to the mother lode of data centers.
