Grid computing works by distributing computational resources but maintaining central control of the process. A central server acts as a team leader and traffic monitor.

Grid computing visionaries hope that this will be only the beginning-that the $53 million TeraGrid will catalyze a new ... “We defined a computational architecture for what we would need ...

But when pressed, Batchelder gives a subtle distinction: “With grid computing, the computational modules are very similar?that is, a computational task is broken into uniform subdivisions.

Components of a computational grid Nodes. The nodes that make up a grid computing network are interconnected servers or computers. Each node has unique (and shared) resources like RAM and a GPU ...

In 1998, Ian Foster and Carl Kessellman defined computation grids in The Grid: Blueprint for a New Computing Infrastructure: “A computational grid is a hardware and software infrastructure that ...

Cape Town’s Centre for High Performance Computing aims to “democratise” its computational capability. Here’s how.

Grid computing vendors point out that most of a company’s computational power is wasted. But is that a sufficiently compelling reason to implement grid computing?

Entropia, a company whose software enables companies to harness the unused computing power of their Windows PCs to conquer large computational problems, has announced it will adopt a standard to ...

Erica P. Johnson The young field of proteomics has quickly risen to match physics and meteorology in its huge appetite for computational capacity. According to Sylvie Langevin, development group ...

Grid Computing Info Centre (GRID Infoware) Find grid news, events, activities, tools and systems, plus information on computational economy, portals, programming environments, applications, test ...
