Grid Computing Needs Work Before Widespread Commercial Use
Overview Grids are collections of computer resources, owned by multiple organizations that are coordinated to solve a common problem. These resources can be computers, collectively run extremely large parallel processing programs - typically used to solve the large-scale problems found in scientific and engineering computing. Another type of grid hosts a very large collection of data by spreading it across many systems. Regardless of type, the key aspects of a grid are multiple resource ownership and a single purpose - this distinguishes grids from previous distributed- or networked-computing models. Grid computing is an important technology of immediate value for scientific and technical computing applications.
