[Air-l] e-science, the grid, and supercomputers

[jeremy hunsinger]

Over on Tribe.net, the head of this area at IBM gave me these urls in 
response to my enquiry about the grid
http://www.ibm.com/grid
http:// www.gridforum.org
http:// www.gridcomputingplanet.com
  and
http:// http://www.teragrid.org/about/index.html

others might find them useful to explore some of the research and 
projects underway

I'm not sure either, but I think there are possibilities of categorical 
difference when you start talking about terascale grids.  The raw 
computational power starts to sound like the computers in greg egan 
novels.
