Grid Computing Protocols

[ G.C.P. ]


Kurt gets a call from Constance to ask him for a favor.
(Since Kurt and Leah's engagement, she considers Kurt
her brother-in-law).

She lets Kurt understand, she needs a set of protocols
written for the work she was doing. For this job, she
wanted to build her own "mini-supercomputer" using "tight
clusters" of personal computers.

Knowing Kurt is briliant, she wanted to know if he was up
for the challenge, that is, to code a new set of Protocols to
work in an INTRANET environment that ties all CPU power
and bandwidth
together for about 100 machines.

Kurt had finished (including beta-testing) in about a week.

As he finished coding, he sends an email that bounced
in about every time zone on the planet, before getting
into the mailbox of a "Mr. Barney Rubble".

Part of the email reads: Meet Leah and myself in
Amsterdam - Schiphol Airport........


About 1.5 weeks before the meeting at Schiphol Airport, a
blonde woman, dressed like a college student, walks up to
the proprietor of a certain public eating area. She fills
out an application for a waitressing position.

A week later, a frantic proprietor calls her local number
asking her to start work immediately, half of his staff
quit within the last week.
