Speaker:
Arnie Miles, Senior Systems Architect, Georgetown University.
Some studies suggest that the average desktop computer is idle 80% of the time. Systems to harness this unused power and make it available to researchers have been developed and deployed at various enterprises. Until now, policy enforcement issues prevent sharing these resources outside very closely defined administrative arenas, so massive amounts of computational resources go unused.
This talk will discuss mechanisms that are being exploited that allow an enterprise to share its computational resources and take advantage of the resources shared across these administrative boundaries. This approaches leverages current work being done with SAML products like Shibboleth, policy expression and enforcement, attribute based access control, and job scheduling systems.
