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 convinced that "grid computing" is anything more than a word that people toss off to describe a set of paradigmatic assumptions - i've heard it used in several radically different ways by people doing computational work in different source domains.
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.
