I prefer "Grid of Grids" (or "gog"); then when we have a massive grid  
of (grids of grids), we can have Magog to go with it 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gog_and_Magog 
), at which time it's
appropriate to drink a bunch of stout & call it a day :-)

More seriously: at some point in the hierarchy, you have to just say  
"container" and let "containers" contain "containers" or you can't  
build arbitrary numbers of levels. If I understand current Ganglia  
semantics:

Clusters contain hosts
Grids contain clusters
Grids of grids ("metagrids") contain grids

What contains metagrids?  I'd be OK with the word "metagrids" IFF the  
answer to that is "metagrids".
