Sophisticated skills in high-end communication protocols are required for Grid
computing. This includes design and implementation skills for highly robust and
efficient protocols that allow high-volume, high-speed communication. Policy-based
communication includes QoS support. IBM's Deep Computing effort comprises an extensive
skill base in multidimensional routing algorithms.
High-volume, high-speed communication research is
conducted in collaboration with the Linux
Technology Center. IBM's Systems group uses this technology in
server and storage systems.
