Comments on: Fast Forward: What the new CERN “Grid” means to Virtual Worlds http://www.avatrian.com/blogs/?p=235 Our weblog of various topics on Second Life and the metaverse Thu, 24 Jun 2010 05:17:40 -0400 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: simulator in virtual space http://www.avatrian.com/blogs/?p=235&cpage=1#comment-1244 simulator in virtual space Thu, 02 Oct 2008 03:28:50 +0000 http://www.avatrian.com/blogs/?p=235#comment-1244 It is already possible to have a lot more primitives on a simulator, you don't need faster internet for this, it's a matter of faster rendering and handling packages of memory. As for more detailed terrain this is already possible but not by using larger terrain maps but by the use of terrain files with a larger bit sizes.It's nice to see from your article that you wish to go futher than the current architecture of the Second Life grid. There are new grids coming that allow more the things you mention in your post. They are needed, the metaverse isn't Second Life or WOW for that matter. Looking forward to read more of your posts.

The term is in widespread use in the supercomputing world. The "grid" does refer to several manifestations of a superfast network for high end supercomputing applications, generally.

As far as Linden Lab's use of the word 'grid' - it's accurate and catchy. But it is, ultimately, confusing for people. Fortunately, there are more people on the internet than there are in Second Life.
