Description
Supercomputing and Grid computing have sometimes been considered as alternative paths
to HPC. Claims have been made, that the Grid has the power of a supercomputer. While
this is true for some application areas, CPU intensive applications that require high
end interconnects and storage access will not run efficiently (and economically) in
the current Grid.
In this talk, concepts from computer architecture will be reviewed in the context of application examples where supercomputing and the grid have common interests and work together in a complementary fashion. Current research and development areas of grid computing which leverage ideas originating in computer architecture and parallel computing will also be discussed.
