(2006-05-26) Dehora Im Grid

Bill De Hora on using Instant Messaging/XMPP as a platform for Grid Computing, in response to Tim Bray's excellent overview (MPI, Map Reduce, Globus, GridBus) of the current landscape, where he concludes that they all make him uncomfortable, coming from a WebApp/SOA/ReST mentality - So I ended up writing my own piece of service-oriented grid infrastructure, named Sigrid, which isn't like any of the other things in this essay. http://blogsearch.google.com/blogsearch?ie=UTF-8&oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&um=1&tab=wb&q=site:tbray.org+sigrid&scoring=d |links Update: more from Tim on Multi Cast, linking to Python example and Spread Toolkit and ZeroConf.
