Ever wanted to know what this grid computing thing is about? What you can do with it? Then watch my grid computing introduction.
I present my personal view on grid computing, mixed with an example and the grid computing definition as presented in “The Anatomy of the Grid” (by Foster, Kesselman and Tuecke). If you’re interested in more details about grid computing, I would like to encourage you to have a look at this paper.
You can watch the movie by clicking on the YouTube picture above. I also provide the raw movie here for download:
I would love to receive some feedback, both on the content and on the technical aspects of the movie.

Hello my name is Julian Sierra, I am of Colombia and I saw the video that you raised youtube in as beams your introduction to Grid Computing, and then according to seems you did in Keynote of iWork… in aim I also I am working with xgrid for the accomplishment of Grids, wanted to know if it can collaborate to me?
My mail is juedsivi@gmail.com or juedsivi@yahoo.com
Hi Julian,
Nice to hear that you watched my video. I am sorry to say that I do not use XGrid. I think XGrid is a nice technologie, but it deals primarily with a batchsystem-like abstraction. Batchsystems are not interesting to me. If you want to see some other products, I recommend Torque (PBS + some patches) or Sun Gridengine (which is also open source).
