The Road to Grid Computing
This document explores the practical, methodical steps organizations need to take to evaluate and use grid computing technology to link their core business objectives to their IT, driving tangible, measurable business results.
Computational Grids Meet the Database
An Overview of the Integration of Oracle 9i with Platform Grid Software
This paper provides examples of the use of grid technologies for the automation of batch processing across multiple databases and computers, the coordination of computing resources at multiple sites to increase the throughput of a parameter space study, and the automatic provisioning of their virtualized databases.
Data Synchronization Across Enterprise Grids
Industry leaders in electronic design automation (EDA) and industrial manufacturing have been using enterprise grids since 1996. Because their engineers are geographically distributed, these leading organizations require extra-campus grid solutions to facilitate collaborative design. An integration of Platform LSF and Rational ClearCase Multisite illustrates how the challenge of data synchronization in enterprise grids is being addressed Sun Solaris Operating Environments.
Enterprise Desktop Grid Computing in Bioinformatics
The ability to distribute computation across thousands or even tens of thousands of PCs allows the bioinformatics researcher to harness the idle capacity of desktop PCs across an enterprise and apply it to a specific class of computational problems common in bioinformatics characterized by their ability to be decomposed into arbitrarily small tasks.

Open Source Metascheduling for Virtual Organizations with the Community Scheduler Framework (CSF)
by: Chris Smith, Platform Computing Inc.
The CSF is an open source add-on to the Globus Toolkit v3.0 for the development of community schedulers. Community schedulers are commonly referred to as metaschedulers and accept user requests to run jobs, and map them to the resources, which have been made available within the user's Virtual Organization.
Reducing the Product Development Cycle by Right-Sizing CAE
by: Eric Tse, Systems Engineer and Dale Dunlap, Technical Consultant, Platform Computing
This document explores the dynamic of today's product development cycle, highlights emerging trends and challenges, and offers a unique approach to dramatically reducing the product development cycle.
Towards the Telecosmic Grid
by: Ian Lumb, Grid Solutions Manager, Platform Computing
Solving the Scalability Challenge for Business Intelligence Applications
Scalability is an essential component of any business intelligence application but while many vendors profess to offer it, there are very few today that can demonstrate scale to the true needs of a customer. Learn how grid computing can produce accurate results on a scalable architecture and enable applications to handle the anticipated demands.
Business Intelligence Meets Grid Computing
While business intelligence has a great deal of promise the reality of its true potential is constrained. Even in best case scenarios, users are still required to accept the fact that they must sometimes wait hours, if not days, for their results and must adjust their business processes accordingly. Those who want to take business intelligence to the next level will need to consider a new paradigm in how these applications are deployed. Learn how grid computing can address the new paradigm and provide the potential to satisfy the needs of the most demanding business intelligence applications while doing little or no additional investment in your existing computing infrastructure.
