Enablers:
Realization of the unused processing power of idle resources in companies has led to the renewed interest in grid computing. Increased focus on efficiency and effectiveness with currently owned assets has rekindled the interest in grid computing.
Inhibitors:
Willingness of groups or individuals within companies to share resources bought with their own budget.
Infrastructure: Network latencies (speed of light), network bandwidth/switching technology. Needed software architecture is complex.
Paradigms:
A large initiative to realize and act upon unused processing resources is Distributed.net. Through distributed.net clients encryption is tested for robustness by using idle processors on computers around the world.
Experts:
Distributed.net
SETI
Timing:
With regards to timing, all we can really say is that this type of approach to computing has only been really become possible with the Internet becoming mainstream, and consumers acquiring computers which have more processing power then they need for their every day jobs.
