Intel to Develop Grid Computer Network in China's Universities
By Paul Denlinger


Intel has signed an agreement with China's Ministry of Education to develop a grid network for its universities. The network will be connected by the high-speed Internet network, China Education and Research Network (Cernet). It will be used for work in life sciences, the petroleum industry, earthquake research and commercial financial applications. It will also be used to power the "Digital Olympics" initiative for the 2008 Beijing Olympics.

Grid networks link individual computers to speed up processing to a much higher rate than if they acted individually. This grid is expected to have a performance of more than 15 teraflops. Grid computing has become a hot trend in the information technology industry in the past year, and has been loudly touted by Larry Ellison, CEO of Oracle, the world's largest database maker. The latest database version, 10g, boasts grid computing capabilities.

Chip giant Intel is the largest maker of logic chips in the world, which are the brains of computers. Lately, Intel has been involved in a high-profile competition with its main competitor, AMD, to establish a presence in the China market, and to maintain a cordial relationship with government, education and research institutes.
