Details |
|
Global Grid Forum (GGF) |
Chair: Charlie Catlett, The Global Grid Forum’s mission focuses on the promotion and development of Grid technologies and applications via the development and documentation of "best practices," implementation guidelines, and standards with an emphasis on "rough consensus and running code." The Global Grid Forum has a Data Working Group that directly relates to The Open Group's vision. |
|
Globus |
The Globus Project is developing fundamental technologies needed to build computational grids. | |
Grid Computing |
The Grid Computing organization manages the workshops on Grid Computing. Conferences sponsored by IEEE and IEEE TFCC (see below). | |
Grid Center |
The primary goal of GRIDS is to define, develop,
deploy and support an integrated national middleware infrastructure
supporting 21st Century science and engineering applications.
This will be achieved by facilitating use of that infrastructure
for full-scale, meaningful applications by communities such as the Network
for Earthquake Engineering Simulation (NEES), the Grid Physics Network (GriPhyN),
the International Virtual Data Grid Laboratory and others.
With its software, the

Content Alliance |
The Content Alliance, initiated in August 2000, was formed to foster interoperability of Content Delivery Networks (CDNs). While initiated by Cisco Systems, the Content Alliance is self-governing. The Content Alliance is open to any technology vendor, service provider, or content provider interested in supporting the development of open standards for the advancement of content networking. Over 100 service providers, technology providers, and content providers have become members of the Content Alliance. By accelerating the adoption of standards, the Content Alliance aims to more rapidly expand the market for content networking services. While the Content Alliance may generate proposals for standards, it works through traditional standards bodies such as the IETF to gain broad industry acceptance. |
|
IEEE TFCC |
Task Force on Cluster Computing is an international forum promoting cluster computing research and education. It participates in helping to set up and promote technical standards in this area. |
|
UNICORE |
UNICORE (UNiform Interface to COmputing REsources) provides a science and engineering GRID combining resources of supercomputer centers and making them available through the Internet. Strong authentication is performed in a consistent and transparent manner, and the differences between platforms are hidden from the user thus creating a seamless HPC portal for accessing supercomputers, compiling and running applications, and transferring input/output data. The UNICORE Forum is an open, non-profit association that promotes the development and distribution of the UNICORE GRID system. Membership is open to users and developers of GRID software as well as to hardware vendors. |
