Cluster, grid and cloud computing are three main technologies for computing with each having its advantages and disadvantages. They have emerged during different periods of time as per needs of the ...

Cloud computing and Grid computing are the two words that end up confusing many people as they are similar in theory. Cloud computing and Grid computing involves a massive computer network ...

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 ...

Cloud computing and grid computing are often mistaken for one another, but the fact is that they’re nowhere close to the same thing. This article explains both systems, and how they differ from one ...

Advances in computing power and acceptance of open standards in data transport could provide engineers with fast and complete design solutions to their most intricate problems. Applying the Internet's ...

In a sort of digital interpretation of the adage, “Waste not, want not,” the basic idea of grid computing is to use the computational power of idle PCs and harness those heretofore wasted cycles to ...

David Berlind did this excellent interview with Wolfgang Gentzsch, who is one of the pioneers of grid technology,anddispels some of the myths of grid computing. In the past, I've tried to dispel some ...
