We think grid is really going to be a very, very big thing," said Dave Turek, IBM's vice president for Linux emerging technologies.

The ultimate goal behind computing grids is to create clusters of servers connected to one another so that users can tap into the grid and get the computing power they need when they need it.

Grids allow communities of researchers to securely tap computing power on demand and to share resources that might otherwise be difficult to pull together, Turek said.
