摘要：Today we witness the exponential growth of scientific research. This fast
growth is possible thanks to the rapid development of computing systems since
its first days in 1947 and the invention of transistor till the present days with
high performance and scalable distributed computing systems. This fast growth
of computing systems was first observed by Gordon E. Moore in 1965 and
postulated as Moore’s
Law. For the development of the scalable distributed computing systems, the year 2000 was a
very special year. The first GHz speed processor, GB size memory and GB/s data
transmission through network were achieved. Interestingly, in the same year the
usable Grid computing systems emerged,
which gave a strong impulse to a rapid development of
distributed computing systems. This paper recognizes these facts that occurred
in the year 2000, as the G-phenomena, a millennium cornerstone for the rapid
development of scalable distributed systems evolved around the Grid and Cloud
computing paradigms.
