To understand the basic and complex differences between cloud and grid computing, we really need to explain both technologies. Here’s how they are defined. Cloud computing ...

Sunday Times News: Grid computing is a parallel processing architecture in which CPU resources are shared across a network, and all machines function as one large superc ...

Grid computing is also called "peer-to-peer computing" and "distributed computing," the latter term first coined in the 1970s, which had no relationship to this concept. See distributed processing ...

The Facts . Critics of grid computing point out that interenterprise grids face considerable security hurdles (see “Power Pool,” Emerging Technology, April 1, 2002).

If I said, “tell me everything you know about grid computing in 10 seconds…” you’d almost certainly mention IBM, maybe Oracle and Sun, you’d probably say “clusters” and if you’re a ...

New technology and commodity hardware widen grids' reach, but perception barriers remain.

We have developed ‘Grid-Allegro’, a Grid aware implementation of the Allegro software, by which several thousands of genotype simulations can be performed in parallel in short time.

MapleSoft’s Grid Computing Toolbox enables distributed computing using Maple, a WYSIWYG math environment for solving complex mathematical problems and creating rich technical ...
