Description

Grid in Automotive, Finance & Petroleum

75% of major investment banks are already using Grid
computing and Petroleum and Automotive look set to become
an adopters of Grid technology.

Focusing on these three areas, this session offers an
overview of some deployed cases, the main achievements and
obstacles involved to a wider deployment and success stories
and how EGEE may support these sectors.



Reporting & Initial Feedback

The session includes the speakers of each of the
parallel sessions within the Business Track to offer an
overview of their session to share with the audience.

161. Robert B. Cohen, Fellow, Economic Strategy Institute - European Auto Firms and Grids

Robert COHEN

26/09/2006, 14:00

As part of a study supported by EGEE, this analysis has evaluated Grid adoption at Europe’s auto firms. It has compared these findings to results from earlier studies of Grid use in the auto industry in the US and Japan. The study’s initial findings are that Europe’s automakers have adopted Grids and are doing thousands of simulations a day to support design, product development, and...

162. Piero Poccianti, Staff Planning and Strategic Development Consorzio Operativo Gruppo Monte dei Paschi Group (MPS) - From Web Services to Grid: Internal ad external use. Grid in Banks (Finance)

Piero POCCIANTI

A recent study from Gartner Group shows that computing utilization of Intel platform is normally very low (from 15 to 30%). The use of an internal Grid computing infrastructure provides a way to maximize the computing utilization of resources, lowering cost and speeding some kind of processes. Monte dei Paschi, one of the most important banking group in Italy, started studying this...
