Flops aren't everything. Sometimes what a researcher really needs is a computing system that can also do lots of iops. And systems that use solid state drives just might fit the bill. iSGTW spoke with a variety of experts to get the facts about solid state drives in grids and high-performance computing. Hear from Richard Moore and Allan Snavely of San Diego Supercomputer Center; Shawn McKee, Rob Gardner, and Dan Fraser about Open Science Grid; and Peter Solagna of the European Grid Infrastructure.
