Abstract
We discuss the application of Web 2.0 to support scientific research (e-Science) and related “e-moreorlessanything ” applications. Web 2.0 offers interesting technical approaches to build the core e-infrastructure (Cyberinfrastructure) as well as a host of interesting services exemplified by Facebook, YouTube, Amazon S3/EC2 and Google maps. We discuss why some of the original Grid goals of linking the world's computer systems may not be so relevant today and that interoperability is needed at the data and not always at the infrastructure level. Web 2.0 may also support Parallel Programming 2.0-- a better parallel computing software environment motivated by the need to run commodity applications on multicore chips. A “Grid on the chip ” will be a common use of future chips with tens or hundreds of cores. 1.
