The Sun Grid Compute Utility at
Network.com provides easy and affordable access to
an enormous computing resource over the Internet for the predictable and all-inclusive price of
$1/CPU-hr. The Sun Grid Compute Utility's supports open-source technologies such as Solaris 10,
Grid Engine, and the
Java platform. Whether you're developing an application for deployment to the Sun Grid Compute Utility or you simply have an interest in high performance computing (HPC), you'll benefit from following this active and growing community.
"CPU/hr" is the aggregate CPU time spent across all machines, rounded up to the nearest hour (e.g. a task running on 1000 CPUs for 1 minute = 1000 CPU minutes or approximately 17 CPU hours, costing you only $17)

Resources
- sungrid.dev.java.net: Open source projects, documents,
and examples for the Compute Utility. Note, although this is hosted at java.net, some content is very relevant for C, C++, and Fortran developers as well.
- Sun Studio
Free compilers and tools that can help C, C++, and Fortran developers produce highly optimized
applications for deployment to the Compute Utility.
- Compute Server Project
This open-source project includes a programming model, an execution framework, and
NetBeans IDE plug-in for developing applications for
embarrassingly parallel problems that
can run on the Sun Grid Compute Utility.
- Grid Engine
The Sun Grid Compute Utility uses Grid Engine for its Distributed Resource Manager. That matters to developers because you can use
Grid Engine commands in the script you define for your job's execution on the Compute Utility.
- Solaris 10
The Compute Utility Severs are all AMD Opteron based and run Solaris 10 operating system.
Note, Download a copy of Grid Engine and Solaris and follow the
instructions in Appendix A of The Sun Grid Developer's Guide to build your own local build/test environment.
