Grid: Blueprint for the New Computing Infrastructure - Tapa dura

"This is a source book for the history of the future." --Vint Cerf, Senior Vice President, Internet Architecture and Engineering, MCI Communications

The grid promises to fundamentally change the way we think about and use computing. This infrastructure will connect multiple regional and national computational grids, creating a universal source of pervasive and dependable computing power that supports dramatically new classes of applications. The Grid provides a clear vision of what computational grids are, why we need them, who will use them, and how they will be programmed.
