Abstract :
Instant-Grid (2006) provides an environment for demonstration, test and development of grid applications. Using a live-CD approach, cluster configuration and deployment of grid middleware is fully automated. The default installation of Instant-Grid results in a set of ready-to-use grid functionalities, which can be accessed in a beginner-friendly way via a Web portal. It also includes a number of p reconfigured applications, which demonstrate the uses and benefits of the grid. One example is the generation of photo realistic images using the grid as a rendering farm
