Fwd: Access Grids, etc

[Mary Fritsch]

Request from Ernie Herrera below....

"We know one aspect of
collaborative services as Access Grid. So, I'm trying to find a
reference for the notion that Access Grid is part of high performance
computing. Do you recall anything along those lines? The reason I'm
trying to find a document or report is that there are some folks
here--not at the center--who consider high performance computing as just
computing and nothing else (yeah, pretty narrow-minded people)."
