Ganglia is an open-source project that grew out of the University
of California, Berkeley Millennium Project which was initially
funded in large part by the National Partnership for Advanced
Computational Infrastructure (NPACI) and National Science
Foundation RI Award EIA-9802069. NPACI is funded by the National
Science Foundation and strives to advance science by creating a
ubiquitous, continuous, and pervasive national computational
infrastructure: the Grid.
that is how ganglia really started. i was working at berkeley as a
programmer on the npaci project at berkeley, saw the need for a
distribute monitoring app, wrote it, then posted it on sourceforge.
i saved a copy of my berkeley work website at
<http://massie.us/work/public_html/>
an early paper on ganglia can be found at
<http://massie.us/work/public_html/papers/science.pdf>
sdsc fits into the picture because they were another npaci
institution (working with berkeley) that contributed significantly to
ganglia development. they bundled ganglia into their cluster
installation (ROCKS) and did lots of code contribution. the
hierarchical delegation work in gmetad was the work of federico
sacerdoti at sdsc. see paper
<http://massie.us/work/public_html/papers/ganglia-widearea.pdf>
if you want step way back to pre-sourceforge days visit an old talk i
gave..
<http://massie.us/work/public_html/talks/lug_lbl_talk/html/slide_4.html>
there are two slides there with a history of ganglia. there are some
other ganglia trivia at
<http://massie.us/work/public_html/> as well.
let me know if you have any specific questions.

Can anyone point me to some information about the history of ganglia?
I am attempting to put together a presentation for a meeting I have
and
I would like to know a little bit more about the development and
motivation
behind ganglia so any statements I make about it can be based on facts
rather than suppositions. :-)
I.E. did Matt originally do this as part of a project funded by
SDSC or some
other HPC organization? I see the statements on the documentation page
where it is stated that it is running on over 500 clusters and has
scaled to
over 2000 nodes in a single cluster. Are thise current figures or
are they
from a few years ago?
Any additional information would be most appreciated.
