MICRON Grid

During the EGEE Industry Day past 1st of March, organised by CETA-Ciemat I saw a presentation by Brooklin Gore about the Computing Grid internally used by MICRON (a world wide company manufacturer of chips/flash memories...). They use the idle Desktop PCs to execute jobs. All the Grid infrastructure is based on CONDOR.

One kind of jobs ('portable' I think was the name) are moving around the World meanwhile people slept using the computational power. :) ... "Follow-the-moon" job in the article bellow.

I have found this link (A Peek into Micron's Grid Infrastructure) where you can find more detailed information about the MICRON Grid.

In any case, very different from the Grid envisioned by Akogrimo or BREIN.
