What is the history of SRB?
SRB was developed at the San Diego Supercomputing Center (SDSC) at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD), was first demonstrated in 1995, and has been under continuous development since then. General Atomics founded the SDSC, managed it through 2003, owns commercial rights to SRB, and to this day cooperates with UCSD in continuing SRB development. Today, SRB is the basis for over 150 of the world’s most sophisticated data grids. The Nirvana was formed to commercialize SRB, and began in 2000 by launching a commercial version of the product with improved capabilities adapted to government and commercial users, licensing, implementation and support services, maintenance and continuing product development.
