The concept of "grid computing" was created in the late 1990s by researchers at Argonne National Labs and other places. Like many revolutionary concepts in IT, including the World Wide Web and ...

A grid is a wide-area network of computers used to process parts of the same problem. Unlike a cluster, grids tend to be loosely coupled in that there usually is no central control. The notion of grid ...

Grid computing connects storage and data, as well as CPUs from multiple systems, into a centrally managed but flexible computing environment. True grid provides distributed resource management of ...

That's the message the backers of grid computing technology are sending to smaller businesses, and the numbers seem to back them up. A February report from Insight Research Corp. predicts that ...

Grid computing is a hardware and software infrastructure that clusters and integrates high-end computers, networks, databases and scientific instruments from multiple sources to form a virtual ...

An open source software platform for volunteer and grid computing projects. The software runs in the background on any type of computer, exploiting otherwise idle computing resources. Scientists ...

Grid computing has been on the horizon for a long time. Some prognosticators say it's the next big thing. But it's SO big, it's daunting for many. This collection looks at the basics of grid as it ...

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

How will software vendors charge for software usage when grid computing kicks in? Licensing models and grid computing are about to collide. Don’t take my word for it, though.
