Ice and Grid computing

"In addition to our continual improvements of the Ice core platform, we are planning to introduce a number of exciting new products, including support for ... grid computing."
The site

contains an example of Grid system which is based on Ice.

Very cool, thanks for the info. With IceGrid, you will have even more deployment options for grid computing. We will release more info soon.0

Hi Mark,With IceGrid, you will have even more deployment options for grid computing.
One general comment: different people understand different things under the title "Grid computing". For example, compare SETI@HOME and Oracle 10g.
It would be nice also to know your view. What is IceGrid ? What kind of Grid is assumed ? Is it expected to be a general purpose toolkit ? To create a general purpose toolkit is not a straightforward task. See, for example, the Globus Toolkit -- the complete mess in my opinion.

I agree that there are many different definitions for what grid computing means. Some of the latest definitions even think it has to be based on Web services, a technology that is hardly appropriate for high-performance computing. In any case, we will post a summary of what IceGrid will be in our next issue of Connections.0
