Madhu Chetty & Rajkumar Buyya, "Weaving Computational Grids: How Analogous Are They with Electrical Grids?"

Chetty and Buyya compare the emerging computational power grid and the developed electrical power grid and consider some of the issues involved in making the former as widespread as the latter. For the most part the comparison effectively highlights the similarities and differences in the questions of resources, network, system load, transmission capacity, and access interface, to name a few. The authors rightfully conclude that their analogy enables them to identify a number of deficiencies, …
