Grid Computing Using the Sun Grid Engine

Overview Grid computing offers increased throughput through increased use of processing power. You can increase utilization of "idle cycles." Instead of having a machine dedicated to each Application - and making sure that machine meets the specifications for maximum load - you can have a smaller server farm run all your applications, sharing the capacity of each machine across all tasks. This paper presents the benefits of and theory behind the technology of grid computing and concludes with how-to information on performing an installation.
