Sun Announces New Developer Programs and Promotions for Sun
Grid
Enables Java Technology and Solaris Developers to Easily Create
Utility Computing Applications and Enter Contest to Win $100,000 in
Prizes
SAN FRANCISCO, CALIF. JAVAONE CONFERENCE, May 18, 2006 Sun
Microsystems, Inc. (NASDAQ: SUNW), the creator and leading advocate
of Java technology, today announced a series of new programs for
developers to take advantage of the Sun Grid Compute Utility. New
programs include developer access to 100 free CPU hours on the Sun
Grid; a contest in which developers can win up to $100,000 in
prizes; a private project space for independent software vendors
(ISVs); and a Compute Server community project.
With Sun Grid, the world's first compute utility available at the
low price of $1/CPU-hr in the U.S, along with Java technology, the
Solaris 10 Operating System (OS) and the NetBeans Integrated
Development Environment (IDE), software developers now have easy,
secure, affordable and flexible access to compute power over the
network.
Laptop Battery "Developers represent the single largest community with interest
in and ability to leverage grid technology," said Stuart Wells,
executive vice president, Utility Computing at Sun. "Since we made
Sun Grid available to the public in March, ISVs and application
developers have been asking for tools and programs to support their
development of Sun Grid applications. With today's announcements,
Sun is making it easier for these developers to create grid-enabled
applications. Sun is the first and only vendor to offer developers
access to enormous compute power over the network and our new
programs will allow developers to easily build applications and
further their Sun Grid knowledge and skill set."
Being the "Silicon Valley of the North", tech companies such as IBM, Sun Microsystems and Compaq.
Thinkpad "AMD has long supported Sun's leadership in bringing grid
computing to the mainstream and we are pleased to work with the
developer community to increase the industry's awareness and use of
the benefits of this technology -- which may include better system
utilization, better scalability, increased overall performance, and
reduction of total cost of ownership," said Marty Seyer, senior
vice president, Commercial and Performance Computing at AMD. "Sun
Grid, which is powered by AMD64 technology, lets developers deliver
applications more rapidly to
market."

enable their application.
* Compute Server Community Project -- Sun is creating a Sun Grid
developer community project -- the Compute Server Project -- that
aims to enable developers to easily and efficiently use Sun Grid
for the distributed execution of parallel computations. Inviting
collaboration with the Java technology, the Solaris OS, and
NetBeans software developer communities, the Sun Grid Developer
Community facilitates direct and open engagement with developers
who are interested in exploring how to make the leap to
utility-based grid computing. Members of the Sun Grid Developer
Community can download an early access version of the Grid Compute
Server Plug-in for NetBeans IDE from the Compute Server project by
visiting http://computeserver.developer.network.com.
* Grid Compute Server Plug-in for Net Beans IDE released under
Apache License, v2.0 -- The Apache license helps ensure that
developers may enjoy broad
freedoms in their use and
testing of the technology.
