Advances in Parallel Computing
  • FPS 5000
  • Transputer
  • Thinking Machines
  • Cray T3E
  • ...the latest greatest parallel computer is?
  • A network of workstations

7
Commodity Parallel Processing
  • Move from Proprietary to a Standard
  • programming model (MPI)
  • ...led to code portability
  • ...led to 3rd party application support
  • ...led to greater acceptance
  • ...led to broad deployment

8
Sun's GRID Activity
  • The network is the computer
  • GRID is more than HPC
  • Collaboration
  • Open Source
  • Open Standards

9
Sun ONE
  • Standards-based
  • software
  • vision
  • architecture
  • platform
  • expertise
  • to enable services
  • on demand

10
Sun Contributing to the GRID
  • Open Source
  • Sun Grid Engine
  • HPC Clustertools
  • Technical Compute Portal
  • Standards
  • Java
  • Jini
  • Jxta

11
Sun GRID Collaborations
  • Global Grid Forum
  • Sun HPC Consortium at SC2001
  • Ian Foster and Carl Kesselman (Globus)
  • Andrew Grimshaw (Legion)
  • Mary Thomas (GridPort)
  • Ed Seidel (Cactus Project)
  • Andrew Grimshaw (Avaki)

12
Sun GRID Investments
  • Bought GridWare
  • now part of Sun Grid Computing Group
  • Grid Centers of Excellence
  • EPCC
  • Imperial College
  • Ohio Supercomputer Center
  • Technical University of Aachen
  • HPC Virtual Lab in Canada (soon)

13
Free Supercomputer
  • Sun Fire 6800 Wildcat test programme
  • 384 cpu configuration
  • 0.7 Tflop/s peak performance
  • 1½ Tbytes memory
  • How could access to this system help you
  • to advance Grid computing?
