ATIP02.024: Grid Computing in Japan

ABSTRACT: With the exception of a few single efforts, grid or network computing has been slow to take off in Japan. However, the number of grid computing projects has increased considerably over the past few months and several large HPC procurements during 2002 are expected to include some kind of network computing component. In addition to an overview of Japanese activities in grid computing, this report provides an assessment of major grid initiatives in Japan.
