The Open Grid Forum: History, Introduction and Process Alan Sill VP of Standards, OGF Director, NSF Cloud and Autonomic Computing Center Senior Scientist, High Performance Computing Center Adjunct Professor of Physics Texas Tech University Open Grid Forum 44, May 21-22, 2015 EGI Conference, Lisbon, Portugal ©2015 Open Grid Forum 1 About the Open Grid Forum: Open Grid Forum (OGF) is a global organization operating in the areas of cloud, grid and related forms of advanced distributed computing. The OGF community pursues these topics through an open process for development, creation and promotion of relevant specifications and use cases. OGF actively engages partners and participants throughout the international arena through an open forum with open processes to champion architectural blueprints related to cloud and grid computing. The resulting specifications and standards enable pervasive adoption of advanced distributed computing techniques for business and research worldwide. © 2015 Open Grid Forum OGF 44 - EGI Conference Lisbon, Portugal May 18-22, 2015 2 History and Background • Began in 2001 as an organization to promote the advancement of distributed computing worldwide. • Grid Forum --> Global Grid Forum --> GGF + Enterprise Grid Alliance --> formation of OGF in 2005. • Mandate is to take on all forms of distributed computing and to work to promote cooperation, information exchange, and best practices in use and standardization. • OGF is best known for a series of important computing, security and network standards that form the basis for major science and business-based distributed computing (BES, GridFTP, DRMAA, JSDL, RNS, GLUE, UR, etc.). • We also develop cloud, networking and data standards (OCCI, DFDL, WS-Agreement, NSI/NML, etc.) in wide use. -

The History of the Grid
1 The History of the Grid 2 3 4 Ian Foster*+, Carl Kesselman§= 5 *Computation Institute, Argonne National Laboratory & University of Chicago 6 +Department of Computer Science, University of Chicago 7 §Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering, University of Southern 8 California 9 =Information Sciences Institute, University of Southern California 10 11 12 13 Abstract. With the widespread availability of high-speed networks, it becomes 14 feasible to outsource computing to remote providers and to federate resources from 15 many locations. Such observations motivated the development, from the mid- 16 1990s onwards, of a range of innovative Grid technologies, applications, and 17 infrastructures. We review the history, current status, and future prospects for Grid 18 computing. 19 Keywords: Grid, Globus, distributed computing, scientific computing, cloud 20 computing 21 22 23 Introduction 24 In the 1990s, inspired by the availability of high-speed wide area 25 networks and challenged by the computational requirements of new 26 applications, researchers began to imagine a computing infrastructure 27 that would “provide access to computing on demand” [78] and permit 28 “flexible, secure, coordinated resource sharing among dynamic 29 collections of individuals, institutions, and resources” [81]. 30 This vision was referred to as the Grid [151], by analogy to the 31 electric power grid, which provides access to power on demand, 32 achieves economies of scale by aggregation of supply, and depends on 33 large-scale federation of many suppliers and consumers for its effective 34 operation. The analogy is imperfect, but many people found it inspiring. 35 Some 15 years later, the Grid more or less exists.
